March 21st-24th 2025.
We had chosen to visit this site to meet up with motorhome buddies Alison and Peter who were attending a Caravan and Camping Photographic Group meet, something they join in on several times a year. We were grateful that the Photographic Group allowed us to join them and even though we didn’t involve ourselves in the activities it was good to meet new people.
We were last at this site two years ago and didn’t leave with the best of impressions so I’m pleased to say this time we found the site to be well maintained and organised.
For those with dogs or who just enjoy a ramble there is direct access to Delamere Forest with its abundance of nature and there are also activity areas such as Go Ape.
A few hundred metres from the site is Delamere Railway Station and on Saturday morning we caught the train from there to Chester.
It is only a short journey, two stops to Chester, there is no ticket office at Delamere and it’s best to book on line before you travel. The train there was full and it was standing room only, outside Chester Station was a shuttle bus to the city shopping area which we took advantage of.
Chester is of course a City with a long history, Saturdays are not the best day to explore that aspect walking the City Walls etc and we limited ourselves to the main shopping areas and the Cathedral. The weather was warm and pleasant and we were able to have lunch outside a street cafe.
Of course it wouldn’t be a trip away with out the obligatory photo of Layla and I sitting outside whilst Michelle explored the cathedral.
Sadly I spent the weekend suffering from a heavy cough and cold and didn’t have the energy to explore the area as it deserves.
Sunday wasn’t such a pleasant day but we did enjoy a visit from our daughter Steph and her husband Will with their dog Pippin.
We managed to spend some time with Alison and Peter catching up on news etc and also exchanging some information and plans for our forthcoming trip ( watch this space.)
