So we have got back today after our 1st real outing. We went to Pickering, and glad to report everything worked well. We did stay an extra night as we didn't want to tow in the strong winds yesterday

Also when we arrived we got talking to the chap in the caravan opposite us, and bought a lightweight porch awning off him for £20! Which worked out perfect just for the long weekend.

I am going to put some pictures on with a trip report.

Glad you had a good time, we're taking our first trip on Friday till Monday. Have to say I hope the wind goes as it'll be the first time towing properly. Just popping up to little stainforth to try it out and make sure all works. We are novices :)

Zozo, that is why we stayed the extra night, this was our 1st real tow since picking the caravan up.

Hi Wibsey, glad you had a nice time. Which site did you go to, we stayed at Black Bull Pickering for our first trip. Easy to get to from West yorks and great base, only 30 mins to coast, loads of places to go. Been back a couple of times and really enjoy it.

I went to the top of the mountain...and looked over the other side!
