A swift and uncomplicated journey on mainly motorway to reach this destination. The owner was out but had left detailed instructions pinned to the gate so we were soon parked up and had the kettle on. The site is a delight well kept with fantastic views, the normal grassy camping area was a little wet so we were asked to park on a hard area near the water and electric hookup.
After lunch motor-homing buddies Alison and Peter, who live locally arrived and took us for a walk in the locality where there is a series of reservoirs filled by the River Roddlesworth and a network of public footpaths, altogether we managed a 5 mile walk and celebrated at the end with a couple of drinks in a local pub The Hare and Hounds. It is obviously a popular pub as every table was booked for an evening meal, the menu was interesting as it had a range of German dishes on it.
After Peter and Alison had departed we decided to cook our evening meal, I had just started when there was a knock on the door and the owner of the site appeared to tell us there was a power cut in the neighbourhood. Thankfully we could switch over to 12v and gas, so life continued as normal, in total the power was off for 3 hours returning at 9.15 pm.
