Four nights at York Beechwood Grange under our belts now that it has reopened after extensive work.
A new replacement shower block has been reconstructed along with various improvements around the site.
It all looked very good to me but I got the impression that the wardens weren't too keen on some bits.
One grievance was that for a newly built washblock,no service toilet ( for when the main ones are being cleaned ) has been provided,the disabled toilet has to be used,also the pot washup must have the noisiest ceiling fan ever created.
I would have thought some serviced pitches would have been installed but evidently there was some problem with planning permission.
As has become normal now,the Cadiz soldiers on unperturbed ( I may regret those words one day ).
One addition to our Isabella fleet was a side
to our Eclipse canopy.
This kept the wind and rain at bay and can be recommended.
One word though,if buying it to attach to an Eclipse which is affixed to the side of the van as opposed to the front of an awning,then a triangular adaptor piece is needed as can be seen from the picture to make up for the increase in height from the awning to the van.
As is usual the Isabella instructions regarding pitching were as clear as mud,but a bit of perseverance won through in the end.
We were due to visit Durham Grange in a couple of days but as 60mph winds are forecast we have decided to abandon it,better safe than sorry.
