3rd August 2009

We left the campsite and headed into Wales aiming for The Lady Margaret Caravan Club Site near Chirk.  We tried to stop at a Post Office as Paul needed to get his fishing licence but we couldn't park.  Later on we spotted another Post Office that had a large car park opposite so we were able to stop there and get the licence.  Now he can fish anywhere that's suitable.  The next campsite actually has a fishing lake so he's really looking forward to that.

We arrived at the new campsite after a roundabout journey through some narrow country lanes, which at times was a bit hairy.  The warden said that they had loads of hardstands but when we drove around, caravans had occupied all of them!  We've come to the conclusion that caravanners generally are pretty selfish, some of them were really small and didn't need a hard standing at all.  They also let their dogs wander everywhere even though campsite rules usually say dogs not allowed off their leashes, their children are the same, the number of times we've seen kids running over other peoples pitches and making loads of noise, and now they take all the hard standing pitches.

So, we parked on grass pitch and I went off to do some washing as we had loads of it.  I managed to tumble dry it all so that's a big job out of the way. I made a roast again for dinner and it turned out a hell of a lot better than last time, thank goodness.
