Our 45th trip - Cartmel Racecourse SLDA rally

Our 45th trip in our caravan was to Cartmel Racecourse in Cartmel in Cumbria. This is our 3rd Easter in 3 years that we have spent on the Camping and Caravan Club SLDA (South Lancs District Association) rally.
17th April 2014 - 22nd April 2014 4 nights. This is 136 nights that we have spent in our caravan.

We travelled up on the Thursday before Good Friday and it was a good decision that we did, because the site was nearly at the 200 caravan limit and a sign was put up later to say the site was Full.
This is a very rare occasion and I always believed there was a policy of not turning caravans away from a c&cc rally, that they would always find you a pitch.


The 3 years we have been going to the THS (temporary holiday site) Easter rally at Cartmel have all been fabulous holidays, but this years was by far the best because we had the weather. We had blue skies all day for Good Friday and Saturday with a few spots of rain on Easter Sunday and blue skies again on the Easter Monday. Lots of people on the site were sporting red sunburned skin, including me.










My new inverter and my shadow!


Between the grass and the caravans is a stream, so no caravans on this side.

Not hillbillys, but it looked like they played the banjo out here in the woods

Not a sign we see very often. If you just arrived with a caravan, unlucky!


My feet stuck in the mud in the woods.
