1ST TRIP OUT IN THE NEW VAN - BAMFORD EDGE - PEAK DISTRICT

This was Wander's first trip in the new van – and as we had a double seat up front now (and a bonnet and air bags!) we thought it would be best to have her up front with us rather than on the back seats - however we can see this may take a little getting used to for her! She also malted everywhere! Thank goodness it's not carpeted in the front cab!

We stayed stayed at Thornhill Recreation Ground in Bamford, on a Club meet THS (temporary holiday site) for our fist trip.

There were apx 15-20 vans and the site was ran by the Huddersfield and Sen group who were all absolutely lovely and by the end of the weekend I think we'd spoke to most people on the site.

Dave and I often joke about the funny looks we get occasionally when we arriving on a Club Meet. We think this is due to looking quite young, with tattoos and bright red hair – we have even been asked if we're in the right place before which did make us chuckle. But hey - that's just another one of the reasons why we started blogging about these types of sites - to get more younger folk interested and attending more!

So, how do you get on one of these 'pop-up' sites?

You need to be a Camping and Caravan Club member to attend and be 'self contained' aka have your own loo! and they are all listed on the Out and About app.

More on THS sites and the out and about app can be found on our Vlog here.

PRICE AND BOOKING:  

This was £10 per unit per night, but as i say you have to be a member which has a yearly fee of £42 and there are no facilities.

To book there is a phone number listed with the ad on the Out an About app - we text and just asked if there was space for us. Upon arrival you report to the stewards who come out, take your membership details and payment.

DIRECTIONS

Really easy to find - google sat nav took us straight to the entrance.

THE SITE

As mentioned this was a pop up Club meet campsite on the local recreational ground so there was a children's' play park and it was opposite the Bamford Tennis Club. But there were no toilets, or showers on site. Just a water tap and an elsan point.
