Lyndon Top, post lockdown

Our first trip away from home met up with Mick, Mew, Patrick and Christine for a 2 day break at Lyndon Top.

Inverter worked brilliantly.

Social distancing went out the window within about 10 seconds, well done New?.

Tried out the blow up awning, worked ok but have to check one of the air tubes, the one nearest the van was soft when we undid them.

Great walk to the pub and a little felt pint albeit in a plastic glass ☹️☹️??. It was a great day and we all enjoyed the freedom.

Good Bike ride on the second day, also met more funsters Martin and Jen, Brian and Shirley??? Bizarrely, we met Adrian and Annie from Frankia again who is following who???

Lovely day in all ways

First beer ?, just one.
Who’s following who??

Rutland, Dougie Naming

Travelled to Belton on Rutland on Saturday morning to stay at the Old Rectory CL, it is a small site, mainly grass pitches, toilet block and showers (all a bit tired), has a gravel track leading to a large field. Pitches most with electric either side of the track, all sloping down to the field.

No Geza this time as we were going to the naming ceremony on Sunday, so we dropped him round at Lawrence and Lorna’s on Saturday morning, they had tidied up big-time.

Arrived on site at about 14:00, setup of which leveling was a small challenge. All sorted, cooked a meal and had a bottle of white, some sort of tray bake Chicken Chorizo, booked a taxi for about 18:30 to take us to Stuart and Charmaine’s.

Richard picked us up promptly and we arrived quickly, arranging a pickup for 22:15. We met :
Andy and Alison, Kirsten and Charlotte
Robin and Maria, Bobby and Dot
Sarah
Frances and Doug

Had a buffet and caught up with news visited Stuarts warehouse, very busy.

Left at 22:00 arrived back all ok on site, settled down for the night, lots and lots of rain overnight.
