Well after a very rapid change of plan I've now booked my first weekend this year. My original intention had been to go to Derbyshire for the Easter weekend, to a site I've never been to before, but I hadn't actually got round to booking it. I realised that if I didn't book soon I was running the risk of not being able to get a pitch but if that turned out to be the case then I would just go back to Anglesey - I can always go there when all else fails. However, the UKCS 'single parents and solo campers' group - aka the 'camping for nutters' group - have decided to have another get together, this time at a site in north Wales, and when I looked at the map book to find out where it is I realised what a great alternative it would be.
Looking at the camp site's own website it looks like a lovely place, set in the grounds of a castle, not too far from a small town and only about ten minutes from the beach, so in a great location. It's probably just over half the distance from home to Anglesey so not as far to drive, and within easy reach of Llandudno, Deganwy and Rhos-on-Sea which are all places I'd thought about exploring next time I go to Anglesey. So with all that in mind I've scrapped my original plans, added my name to the group list, phoned the camp site and booked my pitch - fingers crossed the weather will be as good as it was last Easter. I feel excited just thinking about it - simple things please simple minds I suppose - and can't wait to start packing the van with all my gear. Even Sophie and Sugar wagged their tails when I told them we would be going away! So Manorafon Farm here we come!
