We arrived on site at around 12clock  my cousin Drena and Hubby Geoff  arrived some 25mins after us. There were 49 units on site (Caravans  &Motor Homes)

After we had set our vans up and had a cup of tea the weather turned out fine and the sun came out so we went off for a ride up to the Elan Valley reservoirs what a beautiful site.

Woke up to a beautiful morning  we had a lovely cooked full English on the BBQ.

We then decided to have a day out at Aberystwyth

 

Well we left Aberystwyth and followed the Sat Nav back to the site what a hair raising experience  it took us over the Rhayader mountain pass even though it was VERY NARROW in places the scenery was exceptional good job we had the little Panda with us.

Weekend at Brean Sands

Friday 20th March 2009

We took the motorhome to Unity Farm Burnham on Sea for what turned out to be a great weekend. The weather was perfect  and the site brilliant and what's more it was free. They have  a promotional month in March and for people who haven’t been there before you get 2 nights on a serviced pitch free including electric hook up.

We met up with my cousin from Cheltenham they have a caravan.

Our M/H on site

We went to Glastonbury quite an eye opener with all the alternative  dresswear and hippy type shops selling and burning joss sticks and people busking.

See the buskers sitting on the pavement playing the guitars

This is the Glastonbury abbey

We then went on to Wells and some lovely photos of the Cathedral and bishops palace.
