llThingy said:Well after the third cancelled trip we are looking good to finally getting away in the new caravan, with the new awning, and new kettle
Off to Hawes on Bonfire night for two weeks. Anyone else out in November.
Thingy said:Nigel, have you stayed at Lower wensleydale (Leyburn) before. Just a heads up, the last time we were there the warden wasnt permanently there, and the routine was to pick a pitch and catch him later. may have changed now, its about 8 or 9 years since we were there. We found some pitches quite small and others difficult to access. At the higher part of the site in the wet, some saloons were struggling to get up, spinning out on the gravel.
All that said, its a lovely site, we had ducklings wandering in and out the awning on a daily basis, so tame they could be handled.

NigelHutson said:We arrive at Lower Wensleydale in 31st October and leave on 4th November. Going for the bonfire and fireworks in Bedale on the 3rd, and using the preserved railway “Special” for the trip. We enjoyed it all so much last year (stayed in a guesthouse in Askrigg) so decided to bring the caravan this year.
Thingy said:Re Lower Wensleydale, Middleham Castle nearby is worth a look, but hey, get this, Theakstons Brewery Tour at Masham, should be a right of passage for everyone. B)

Mel said:Off to a CS near Bletchley Park ( enigma code, Alan Turing and the British Bombe etc). Mid November for a long weekend.

That’s very bad news John. I’m surprised!Anseo said:The world has been kind to me and I find myself having to take some time off from work in early November, I'm going away in the caravan to somewhereanywhere, regrettably not any further south than Lake District(ish), or north by about 200 miles max from Glasgow.
Looking for suggestions or a meet up, all suggestions welcome.
I just got out of hospital today (only 5 days, grub was good, staff very attentive, regular new people arriving (some with friends visiting for the day) we all became pretty intimate as to what everyone was there for - and what their little foibles looked like). What more could one want?
3rd bout of pneumonia in less than eleven months, I could get used to this![]()

I’d head north from Glasgow and enjoy Bunree CAMC site, close to Ballachullish and Fort William. Plenty of good dining places, no midges now, and the railway to Mallaig for a day out.
