1st attempt at winter vanning!

[yvonne6]

We have just come back from our 1st winter weekend. We decided to try Park of Brandedlyes just outside Dumfries on the A75 towards Stranrar. Everything was going well - caravan lovely and cozy, plenty of food etc. spent the saturday wandering about, Sunday morning was a different matter we woke up to approx 1 foot of snow!! we had to seek the services of the site Massey Ferguson to pull the car out of a snow drift! and we had to leave the van behind, it took us 2 hours to get home. in all we had a good weekend and not put off by a 'little' snow. we did see some fellow vanners towing but we are fairly new so we didnt want to take any chances which i think was sensible.

Well done Yvonne,

I think you were quite wise to leave the 'van.Some of the roads were diabolical.....and still were today in the Glasgow area.
