CMC Chatsworth

At present on the very pleasant CMC Chatsworth which is one of the Caravan and Motorhome Clubs honeypot sites situated on the estate itself in what was, I think, a previous walled garden. The house itself is just a short stroll away. 

There is a small problem on the site in my view as a lot of pitches are overhung by very large trees. 

The chap next door moved pitches as acorns kept dropping on his roof and keeping him awake. 

Cadiz wise, had a drip from the air relief pipe ( I think that is what it is) from the Alde boiler. Not a major problem by any means but have ordered a new joint and will swap it next week. Had to clean it out once before. 

Broke a hinge on the cupboard to the right of the door but managed to cobble it together. 

The main door lock is getting a bit dodgy so I think I will need to have it replaced eventually. 

Prima Leisure sell a single lock barrel for a fiver but stupidly it says it doesn't fit any model. 

Have emailed my repair man to see if he knows whether it will fit and whether it can be manipulated to fit the original key. 

If not you have to buy seven barrels and two keys for about £50.

The joys of caravanning.

CMC Teesdale Barnard Castle

We are at present on the above site very pleasantly situated just outside Barnard Castle which, according to a local, has benefitted greatly from the "Dominic Cummings effect". 

It even has a drying room. 

The site is very busy, mostly with motorhomes, we have this behemoth next to us:

They are towing a car as well

The TV is a bit querky, couldn't get all channels on satellite but the van aerial gets everything.

The Vision Plus thing I fitted recently is excellent, no more buggering about looking for a signal, well worth the fitting. 

One oddity popped up, bought SWMBO a new phone recently which won't charge on the  front reading light USB's but will charge on the rear bedroom ones, cables etc. check out OK, my phone charges on them all.

One of life's mysteries. 

The Isabella Eclipse canopy still attracts attention where ever we go, some chap was admiring it yesterday

The Cadiz soldiers on reliably although I think the Paintseal I had applied on purchase is wearing off but hasn't done bad for over six years.
