The Lakes, April 2016. Day 1, The Journey

We awoke with no little excitement this morning, looking forward to our trip to the Lakes.  Last month we had been due to take the caravan to the Windermere Camping and Caravan Club site at Ashes lane where we had booked storage.  Unfortunately the van caught fire while it was being serviced and eventually the insurance replaced it with a brand new one.  Not only that, but we have replaced the Freelander with a Kia Sportage.  As the way of things when needing to tow a new caravan with a new car the day turned out to be ‘blustery’ so towing was at times exciting.  We decided to drive up through the dales and arrived at the site by 3.30.  It didn’t seem to be long before we were set up on nearly the same pitch as last October.  Amazingly getting to grips with the controls of the new high tech van went surprising well.  There was only one way to celebrate: a bottle of fizz before tea and then an early night.
