CMC North York Moors

 Returned yesterday from three nights at CMC North York Moors,it should have been four nights but it rained so much Noah would have been proud so we decided to cut our losses.

Taking the Eclipse canopy down in what was a giant puddle with rain lashing down whipped up by the wind wasn't a load of fun but we survived and all is now dried out and put away.

If ever the Cadiz was going to leak then this would have been a golden opportunity but all fortunately remained dry.

There is no facilities block on this site so we used the van shower and toilet without any problems.

As seems usual now there was a good smattering of U3's on site and only one U4 Black Edition.

Was talking to the chap with the Black Edition who hadn't had it long and as per usual it needed to be returned to the dealer to cure some faults.

£25K or so for a new van and there always appears to be some problem or another that needs fixing.

When we bought the Cadiz I made the salesman aware that I would have a check list when we picked it up and I wasn't taking it away till I was satisfied,seemed to work as there were no immediate problems to sort out,perhaps thats the way to go when buying a van.

Anyway I hope our next trip out is a little drier than this one.

CMC White Water Park Teesside

 Well here we are for our second post lockdown trip to the above site.

As per usual with the CMC this is an immaculate and well run site well up to the standards of the CMC in general.

One slight irritation:there seems to be a lack of standardisation within the CMC as regards Covid precautions.

At our last CMC site in Norfolk about a fortnight ago,the site shop was stocked as normal,the information room was full of the usual books and pamphlets and visitors were allowed on the site.

Here it is the exact opposite,shop empty as is the information room and no visitors allowed.

We are away to CMC North York Moors in a week or two and that doesn't allow visitors either,all a bit confusing.

Anyway the place is very busy with,I noticed,a good number of Unicorn 3's which still seem very popular,only one U4 Black Edition seen.

My only misdemeanour this time was forgetting the end panel for the Eclipse canopy,it is still safely tucked up in the garage,which is better than last time we were here when I forgot the water pipes for the serviced pitch so paid extra and carted water about

Hope the weather remains as it has been so far.

Expensive Little Buggers

We lost one of the rubber bump stops from under the front of the glass cooker lid

Over the years it has had a habit of coming out, even after being glued, but this time it was lost. 

Now the object of this post is to steer anyone away from Prima Leisure where they are an underwear filling £14 for two including postage,£7 for something that must cost coppers, 

As we say in Yorkshire 'how much'. 

I suppose we must be grateful that they are at least available but I think that is taking the piss, 

Eventually found some on E Bay for £3 something for two, still expensive for what they are.
