weather was great up till kirby steven,snowed heavily there.got past here and it cleared,just a few sporadic snow showers,sun was shining but cold.got to tebay and got onto m6,at this point it was clear weather and the sun was shining,we thought we had made the right descision to go to holgates THEN!!!!,1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SNOW WAS BLIZZARDING OVER THE MOTORWAY.it was absoluteley horrendous.traffic was at a crawl,down to 1 lane in places and it took 2 hours to get 20 miles.it was really heavy snowfall and very worrying at the time.we eventually did make it to holgates,you were right about the approach roads,blimey theres no room for passing at all on most of the roads and if another caravan or large vehicle was to come the other way youve had it. how the hell did they get all those statics there?????.
the camp site is first class,the facilities are spot on nothing to complain about at all except the price.theres not a camp site in united kingdom worth £30+ a night for touring vans,don't care how good they are,that is there only downfall,saying that there must be some money about as the site is almost fully booked throughout the year.and there was quite a few there at the weekend to,so we weren't the only mad beggers there.it is well worth a visit but pricey.
ps the meals ther are really top class,best steak iv'e had for a helluva long time
