CMC Hebden Bridge

As the sun rises over the trees welcome to a morning blog from CMC Hebden Bridge in Calderdale.

The site is a little gem hidden away by the side of the road up Cragg Vale ,we have visited before but it never disappoints as mainly it is usually child free as there is nothing here to entertain them,not even a toilet block to ride your bike/skateboard/hover board around.

There is an Airstream parked to the rear of us,I must say I can't see what all the fuss is about,just pop riveted aluminium at a premium price.

There are little dings all over it.

As we are only here for three nights,SWMBO has a function on Saturday afternoon,we have brought minimal gear,door canopy instead of the full canopy and no draughtskirt.

It makes a nice change sometimes to go lightweight and plus use the caravan shower and toilet which after all is what it was designed for.

Had a visit to Hebden Bridge yesterday to mix with the Bohemians,social workers and Guardian readers.

The Cadiz has behaved itself with nothing to report,this is proving to be a really good van compared to some of the horror stories you read about on forums.

As we are supposed to keep the locker and door seals well lubricated I have sent for some Armorall Silicone wipes off E-Bay which should make application a bit easier,will report back on their usefullness.

We only have a couple more trips planned for this year Hawes,and Chapel Lane for the NEC show as we are away in a cottage in November for a change ( best not to call it cottaging ).

So next stop Hawes.
