Flusco Wood, Penrith

Left the Myrtle Mates, Malvern on the Sunday 16th at about 11:00, Eric and Julia went first then ourselves, I think Paul and Cathy planned on enjoying the sun for a couple of hours and then heading off, the rest were staying on till Monday.  Drove 214 miles to Flusco Woods, apart from a slow down on the M6 around Cheshire J18 the traffic was easy but a bit slow.  Stopped at Stafford services was OK but as with all on a Sunday a bit crowded.

We picked Flusco because it was roughly the right distance easy to find and had EHU showers and water, it is a well run site but hardstanding gravel pitches each with water EHU and a drain, we drove on to get the door on the best side but that meant the drain pipe would not reach, but best to empty in the morning anyway. Â I am not sure if any of the pitches at Flusco are level and we did need to use the levelling ramps, we are getting much better at it, but cold not get it spot on level.

Toilet, shower, washing facilities are all good and TV reception fine, there was site wifi which worked well.

Both of us took advantage of the showers very hot though.

Flusco caters for van and caravans no tent camping it seemed, there is a fantastic dog walk area, massive.  They also have a number of Park Homes where the views of the Lake District are stunning and if you coulod get one at the front would be good, they do seem to keep building another row in front prices appeared to be 80 to 125k, and they do not seem to sell very quickly.
