CMC Knaresborough

Just ending four nights at the above site,a very pleasant place despite the wind and rain.
Handily there are bus stops outside the site with buses to Knaresborough,Ripon,Boroughbridge and York which cuts down on the diesel use when you have an old folks bus pass.
Had a problem with the nearside front window blind,the one on the side not the front,as the string has snapped.
E mailed my service man who gave the opinion that a new blind is needed which is what I thought as the string is under tension so there is no slack to join it together.
The preliminary despatch time is mid May and if previous experience is anything to go by it will be longer than that.
I suppose we are entering that period when things will need replacing after eight years use,cheaper than buying another though.
Have received the new window stay as mentioned previously so will have a go at fitting that shortly.
Since ordering it of course I have discovered that you can just buy the "thready bit"on its own at about half the price of a new stay.
Unless the Postcode Lottery coughs up I am never going to be a rich man.Whoever said that having a caravan is an expensive way to get a cheap holiday had it about right.
