The Classic Hymers Group has been a big part of our Hymer-owning life over the last six years and we're always delighted to meet other members and catch up with friends we've made over the year, on and offline. The Chill is a perfect opportunity to get together and enjoy the company of some great people, as well as admiring some awesome old vans.
As usual, we deposited the children at school and set off ASAP. It's not often I get in the front seat these days! Last year in February, our planned trip to Keswick was cancelled due to the site flooding. We thought we'd try again this year. Although Storm Ciara was forecast, there were no concerns from the site so off we set. Sitting back at home now, after the event, we maybe should have thought more carefully about that...
After our crazy busy day in London, we felt the need to escape the crowds and get some fresh air. Luckily, the Peak District was only a few hours away...
For a trip to Wales, we've certainly gone off course! But with the weather looking fine, we pushed on east towards London.
When we woke up, our plan had been to head to Wales, where we had yet to venture in a motorhome. I was quite excited by the prospect of castles and wild camping, but when we looked at the long range weather forecast, it was meant to rain for the next week. Instead then, we looked to where it would be sunny and headed east to Oxford.
So we didn't make it to Chester as planned. Liverpool was calling us so we went there instead. The joys of touring with no fixed plans!
Our spring holidays started quite early this year, so we took advantage of a great campsite deal and headed south to sunny Blackpool for some seaside fun. Tommy hadn't been for years and the girls and I had only ever visited the Pleasure Beach, so it was a great option for a family trip.
