Coniston here I come!
Taking the caravan to Park Hall CC site in Coniston for a week. I usually see a lot of D3's around there, and will probably pop into Lakeland Land Rover for a coffee and chat.
If you see my Silver D3, along with my mates Red 110, give us a wave

No, holidays are excessively hard, with all that walking, drinking, kids, wifes, eating, barbecues, its a real of a job.
I go to work occasionaly for a rest

Gareth, where is the Park Hall site in Coniston .... been to Park Coppice [Coniston] last august.
Also just back yesterday from a week with tintentcantravel at Troutbeck Head.
A bit out of the way, but a good site nevertheless [and had great 't shirt' weather].I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Thanks Gareth, if you aint been there yet - the site is divided up into two main sections [with barrier].
Best pitches are in the smaller section [barrier to the left as you come out of the site office].
Initially I set up on the main site, but after a look around, moved my pitch a day later to the Eskdale pitches [in the smaller section].
Anyway, that's my opinion - each to his own.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

A few of my mates off to Grasmere ona caravan rally this weekend. They are on a greenlaning day on saturday with an off road club and then again with the mountian rescue teams.
I am off to Dalbeattie with the caravan - hoping to do a bit of GL-ing myself if I can confirm a few routes.
