any time you like! its a cracking site.plenty to see and plenty of walks beaches are local etc etc , great for kids as well.the only thing is that there are no showers or toilet facilities,(but most of us posh buggers have our own ) the new site has full service i e water electric and drainage, there are two sites on the farm, the other side of the site has a slope but still very nice. c l listed.

Great to see a few vans

This is ours at Columber Park earlier this year



Hope to be towing it with a Volvo in the very near future, currently looking at XC70 and XC90's, just need to make our minds up and then find a nice example in budget.

Cheers
Darren

Hi Ron next time you and lynda are at the caravan let us know and we will see about bringing one of our volvos and 2 "well behaved gsd's" up to see you as long as shifts allow ..

Visited the Caravan Club site at Chatsworth last week with our ageing but much loved ABI, first time I'd towed with the S80 but it coped very well with the Derbyshire terrain. The second picture is the parkland behind the site, good walking, especially on a sunny evening.

If you go during the cricket season, you can also spend a pleasant evening watching the cricket on the ground at the end of the drive.

Beautiful site and beautiful area - never did get to take my outfit there but as home is only 10 mons away, probbaly no need!
