I think you are taking this sailing malarky to new levels with all that cloth up top
Too be honest buddy, because we are generally at some competition or training most weekends, just got fed up of pouring money into Premier Inns pocket.I think you are taking this sailing malarky to new levels with all that cloth up top
Campervans are perfect for your family lifestyle!

Had a great weekend at Old Warden, went down Friday evening, got there quite late as they'd shut the A1 and there was a huge detour.
It was actually model flying event but theres so much more, plenty to do & see whatever the weather.
You cant fail to enjoy Old Warden, many of the 100 year-old aeroplanes in the Shuttleworth Collection are still flown on calm days,
theres a huge collection of vintage cars and motorbikes, hangars crammed full of fascinating aircraft from the earliest attempts by Percy Pilcher
and Otto Lilienthal, through WW1 fighters and a WW2 Spitfire and Hurricane, a Lizzie, gliders, racers, home-builts... and Old Warden attracts
many vintage motoring clubs including of course Dubs - there were some lovely original campers. Theres a beautiful 'Swiss Garden'
which you just have to see to appreciate, and a really good canteen serving full Sunday roast today. For the kids theres a huge
adventure playground right next to the campsite. My first weekend off in months and me & granddaughter Chloe enjoyed every minute!
I know some dont have much faith in the display, but over a 300 mile round trip it showed 44mpg, well pleased.

We nipped over to the Welsh coast on Sunday for a one night stopover at the Cae Du campsite (the one on the coast, not the one at Beddgelert).
The site gets rave reviews, and I can confirm they are deserved. The pictures say it all:
The site was nearly deserted, which was great. It sounds like it can get heaving during the summer, when I think we would avoid it.
Definitely one worth checking out off season - http://www.caedufarmholidays.co.uk/campio-camping/4585004218

The wrong side of the island if the tide came in on Holy Island... stunning

One of my favourite places - love it there - wish you could (legally!) camp over there!! My sister lives a few miles north of there towards Berwick at Cheswick Sands (right turning off the A1 just before the Island View Hotel) - must try and get back up to visit soon
Went to Doncaster today.
Last time I went I got a car park ding. Not taking any chances today.

I laid out the cones once I arrived.
I was setting up a site delivery and drop off zone. As it happened the client had already coned off a different area but I decided to leave it like that anyway. Get away with anything if you're wearing a yellow jacket.
Like your style.I laid out the cones once I arrived.
