Going to get our caravan - prep for trip 35

So the journey begins. The excitement builds. We arrive at the storage place Fairwood leisure Storage in Bolton, Lancashire.

We get to use our key fob for the first time and all works well.

The gate rolls back and we enter the best caravan storage in Lancashire.

We drive around to our pitch and it reminds me of Bowness campsite and the crowded pitches there.

We spend 10 minutes trying to get the caravan out of it's place. 

The jockey wheel is facing the wrong way for moving the caravan forward and it is just digging a hole in the hard standing gravel.

I have to put the legs back down using the manual wheel brace, because our battery is flat in the electric drill that we normally use.

So legs down, jockey wheel up and paving slab placed under wheel and facing the correct way to get it moving.

Yay, it's moving.

We huff and puff and finally get it out of it's pitch and into the road and hitch it up.

Away we go and it's back to near our house so we can prepare it for travel.

I've just had a cup of tea and lay on the sofa in the caravan and I'm excited to be going away again.

I've plugged it in to the mains to charge the battery and put some water in the ice cube tray to make ice cubes.

The heater is on low to warm it up and take away any damp that may have crept in whilst it was stored.

This next trip will be no.35 and we will celebrate 100 nights in it since we bought it.

Comments please about your preparations.....
