7th trip - Gibraltar Farm Silverdale

Our seventh trip was 7 nights at Gibraltar Farm in Silverdale - a superb caravan park which is on Morecambe bay on the very southern edge of The Lake District. This was the end of April until beginning of May 2011.
An area of outstanding beauty.
This was our first outing where we we teamed up with our friends Gary and Ann who also have a caravan and our friends Liz and Sean who have a tent. We have all previously camped together when we all had tents but this was our first caravan holiday as a team.
We spent a fabulous week together which is all a blur now, but it involved bbq's most nights, long walks and geocaching.
This site has been a favourite of ours because of it's location near the sea, but beware  the sands are muddy and treacherous, but it looks good.
The prices are the cheapest that we've come across so far per night and that's always good for us.
Our kids love playing in the trees and the rocks and the onsite natural cave.
Quite a few nights we were amazed by the fantastic sunsets.

6th trip - Delamere Forest

Our sixth trip was to Delamere Forest campsite for 2 nights mid April 2011 which is situated on the very edge of the forest.
On arrival we saw that there was a mobile chippy, was was great news for us all as we starving and didn't feel like cooking. The foods was brilliant but I still wish that I'd ordered chips peas and curry because my wife's plate full looked better than mine.
We had a nice long walk around the forest and lake and ended up back at the forest's cafe for light refreshments. Prices are very high, but we thought it's the only cafe around here and we needed a cup of tea and the kids needed ice cream. On our next trip here in 2013 we discovered the railway station cafe which is much better. Pity our time machine is broken or we could have nipped forward and realised this.
