We just had 4 nights. The site and location was really nice. But the pitch was small. As the grass was wet I could not put the car on it so had to shoe horn it onto the hard standing.

Marj did not feel very well so we never ate out as intended. We had chicken 3 nights running as that was all she felt like. But the pub is ideally located a short walk away.

So sorry, not much help.

We also had an eventful time with the caravan, but as I am just off to skittles, more later.

We usually go every five weeks and that why we can book in advance

I suppose it is whether you book your Caravanning around your appointments or your appointments around your Caravanning. I know this sounds really trite and doesn’t manage sudden family demands, but when we were working; leave had to be booked ahead and so everything else was made to fit around it. Now we are retired it is easy to have a “go with the flow” mind set and like you Hutch, space for trips is quickly squeezed out. Our plan for next year is to mark ring fenced Caravanning trip space on the calendar even if we don’t actually book a site in advance. We’ll see how it goes.

I did better when at work. The kids were really off our hands and elderly relatives were younger and not ailing. So dates inked in to the calendar where kept, including short notice weekends too.

When I was working we seldom booked a site for our vacation until about a week or two before we went away. Unfortunately most long holidays had to be during the July school holidays.

By most reckonings February is in winter and on a few recent posts you have said you cover and empty the caravan and do not use your van until March. Good choice then re commencing winter caravanning.

We visited Whitby last May the fish and chips were great. Have you been there before?

It's a Steampunk weekend at Whitby. They have fantastic costumes and give the town, in my opinion, a great vibe.

I must admit I have seen some Steam Punk folk in outfits and they look fantastic and inventive.
