Deal Cottington Lakes 2010

Despite the bad weather reports we all bit the bullet and headed fro Deal on the Kent coast, to take part in the Motorhome Fun annual Easter fishing contest .

Prior to going the camp site " Cottington Lakes " tried to cancel us as they were a bit waterlogged, but agreed to let us stay on their hard standing .

Pat took the marshalling a bit seriously and Jane had a lesson on physics but decided to change all the rules .

The weather was better than predicted but sadly not good enough for fishing so Pats reign as the Funster champion will continue for another year.

In the usual style two tents were meshed together and the Funster Arms was declared open.

On Saturday we all took a trip to a local Motorhome dealer. Sonja and Kevin fancied a Burstner, but the right deal didnt materialise. However Sue took a shine to VW Auto Sleeper which she subsequently purchased .

Pat and I visited deal and Sandwich on the scooter and we fell in love with Sandwich. To be truthful we have actually fallen in love with kent as a County .

The usual suspects were in attendance, Dane & Hazel, Sonja & Kevin, Bob & Jane, Sue, Paul and Debbie, Keith and his family and new friends Ray and Claire.


The end result was a very enjoyable weekend with no fishing at all.

Swanage, Holton Lea and Pewsey Wilts 2010

Another great weekend away .

We started with an overnight stop at Swanage . Parking on the sea front the weather was brilliant.




We then met up with some MH Fun friends, Sonja, Kevin, Pam and Brian to name a few. This was at a beautiful location location in Holton Lea. The plot was in the grounds of a centre for disadvataged people and specialsed in offering Arts and Crafts and a weekend break. The rally raised money for the centre.

The camping area was right on the edge of Poole Harbour and the views were terific.

Unfortunately I am still recovering from a recent operation and Pat is recovering from a broken knee so we couldn' enjoy it as much as we would of liked but managed to hobble around a bit like a couple of old folks.






We then went to a Pub called the "Woodbridge Inn" near Pewsey in Wiltshire were we met Chris and had a great evening. He was on a course nearby. Agreat location to stay in the gardens and the Pub Food was superb.



We managed a couple of hundred yards hobble along the canal. It was colder than it looked.
