Preamble
Over the Christmas period I had discussed with Kaz my thoughts of visiting my family Up North (sister and cousins). Wanting to do this early in the year the end of February seemed a good time with the weather getting better, hopefully!

This was our first trip in 2016 after a layoff of a few months . I had put Roxie on SORN over the winter season as it did seem we were not going to get away at Christmas.

This was just another short week end trip to see our daughter, Alex, living in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. We stayed at the CL that we have used before which is only a short drive into the town of Droitwich.

14 – 16 August 2015 Our first CL – Goffsland Farm, Horsham, West Sussex (1697)
Leaving home about 4pm we made good time even though it mainly drizzled all the way and the traffic was quite busy on the M27 with Friday night work commuters and other summer holiday makers. Stopped off at Tesco’s Havant for fuel and a Costa coffee and chocolate to contain my withdrawal symptoms.

Friday – Arrived at the Caravan Club site at Tredegar House in fine weather having had a pleasant drive down. I am finding driving Roxie such a pleasant experience and a great way to see the countryside, something I had forgotten about. Continue reading
