Two nights away with Angela, at the CMC on the Chatsworth House estate. It is a beautiful park, and we just did a couple of short walks and had lunch, and talked a lot.
Angela had to leave early for an appointment, so on the last day I just came home. Driving the van is getting easier, but the fuel consumption is pants.
194 miles, £47 = 24p a mile. Maybe no more thrashing it on the motorway.
I picked the coldest night of the year so far (-3), but all was fine. I took the van down to the CMC at Knaresborough to try everything out (except the hot water, too much faff to drain it again afterwards). It was SOOOO lovely in the morning, getting up and pottering, without having to be a contortionist. The external screens were simple enough in the end, and cooking/loo all fine. My only remaining bugbears are the handbrake (still awaiting the extension) and the reversing camera monitor isn't fixed to the windscreen so slides around.
If the weather had been better I would have stayed another night, but it was forecast snow and ice so I didn't fancy wandering round Knaresborough in that, and no point paying £16 to sit in a van 2 miles from home.
