When we went to the Northern Chapter Meet in Appletreewick in May, we found out that there was a Beer Festival held in October at the nearby Craven Arms pub. Our friends Tony & Penny (Lilyvdub) were already going, so…
The plan for the weekend was to do some domestic chores on Friday, watch Wigan in the Play Off Semi Final in the evening, then go to a Vintage Fair in Manchester on Saturday and then onwards to John Lewis…
After an interesting year so far, it was finally time for a proper break from the office, as we set off on a three week adventure to France and Spain. I’ve split the Blog into several sections reflecting where we…
What a weekend we’ve just had at the Larmer Tree Festival on the Wiltshire/Dorset border. This was our first ever proper festival and it’s hard to see how it could have been any better. We set off on Thursday morning…
Amazingly, a year has passed since we went to our first Camperjam at Weston Park on the Staffordshire/Shropshire Border but what a difference this year. In 2012 there was a foot of mud and the Traders were struggling. This year…
The Brazilian Bay Forum are privileged to have some fantastic members who go the extra mile to make the Forum so successful and so friendly. Not least amongst these are Darren (DazDub) and John (Scooby) who, for the second year…
A year ago we spoke with Alison’s brother, Richard and said we should have a family weekend away with all the Haworth family and a trip to Wing Hall in Rutland was suggested. Wing Hall features in the Cool Camping…
Gibraltar Farm, Silverdale, June 13 Alison was away for the weekend at our Static in Sedbergh with some girl friends (it was, as I predicted, carnage, apparently) so I decided to have a weekend away with Boris on our…
Unbelievably, another year has past since the 2012 Sleepover and this year’s event had arrived. The venue was the same as last year; Anita’s Campsite in Mollington near Banbury, Oxfordshire and we were expecting just under 40 vans. The theme…
Our first proper Brazilian Bay meet of the year was in Appletreewick, close to Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire. There were due to be 11 of us attending, with most arriving on Friday and a few more joining us on…
The early May Bank Holiday was looming and I’d tried not to be my usual anal self by not booking a site for our weekend away. By Thursday, though, I go a bit twitchy and decided to contact a couple…
Normally, this Blog is all about our adventures with Absinthe but I’ve recently completed the WHW with my daughter, Jodie and I wanted to put something on here about our trip. It’s 96 miles of up and down and we…
Our original plan to go up to the caravan at Sedbergh over the Easter break was put on the back burner – it was just too cold and we didn’t want to risk a burst pipe when we switched the…
After several days of bright sunshine, Saturday again started off in a similar vein so we decided to drive up towards Silverdale for a walk along the Lancashire Coastal Way (LCW). I’d seen the walk in a new Magazine called…
With good weather forecast (well, no rain anyway) for the weekend we decided to dust Absinthe down and go up to the Lakes for the day. We left around 11.15 and had an uneventful drive up the M6. We stopped…
