Maiden voyage

[California124]

Took "Oliver" on his maiden voyage last weekend, stayed over for just one night just to make sure everything worked ok. The site was near a delightful pub called the fish pool inn, some of you may know it if you live in the north of England. We slept upstairs using a duvet and it was very warm and cosy didn't need the heater on during the night ( about 5 degrees outside ) . Looking forward to some longer voyages in the near future.

Excellent, welcome on board and a great start to the season.

Love Fishpool..

We had a Cali group meet there a couple of years ago at Easter, good site, extremely friendly and accomodating staff, some stunning scenery in the area, along with a fantastic Icecream factory if memory serves me right. Rope swing up in the trees in the picture (Blackbank Woods) which needless to say, a number of us made fools of ourselves on

The Fishpool Inn itself, great food and managed to do a table for over 20 fairly easily!

Nice one

Thanks for your comments, and yes the food in the Fishpool inn was excellent the wine was even better. The site was empty but for a few Motorhomes at the far end, just as well as it took a few attempts to isolate the interior alarm sensor

Glad you've cracked open the champagne

Fishpool is only about 30 minutes from where we live but we camped there with a group a few years back. It was June and we all sat outside, believe it or not the temperature dropped to 2 deg C, we were glad to get back in the Cali but felt sorry for the others who were in tents

Hi motacyclist, yes we have camped with our children for any years and yes it can get a bit chilly at night even in summer. The three children have grown up now and still living at home but are self sufficient

Hi motacyclist, yes we have camped with our children for any years and yes it can get a bit chilly at night even in summer. The three children have grown up now and still living at home but are self sufficient so we did a bit of self indulgence and bought our selves a cali.
