What a wonderful way to start the summer holidays!! A weekend campervanning in the Baron in the North Yorkshire Dales.
We picked up the van from Jolly and Aly which was really
clean and surprisingly spacious. The
campervans are kitted out extremely well with every corner of the van put to
good use for storage or equipment.
Having been used to driving an automatic car, the van felt strange to
begin with but we very soon had the hang of it and enjoyed a lovely journey
through the hills and dales.
We arrived
at Masons campsite in Appletreewick which had been recommended by Jolly and
Aly. It is located in a beautiful
valley, alongside a shallow stream, with clean facilities and within walking
distance to 2 local pubs – which is always a bonus!
The children slept in the top and there was more than enough
room for our 3 little ones. They loved the
novelty of sleeping up there and were the envy of the other kids on the
camp-site. They took great pride in
showing their new found friends around their new home for the weekend.
Jolly and Aly have thought of everything, team, coffee,
sugar, cafetiere, camp chairs, blankets for sitting out at night when it
started to get a bit chilly, and lovely cosy bedding for the night time. With the awning on the side, there was plenty
of space for all our mountains of gear.
We had a fantastic time in the Baron, the weather was great
for the first 2 days which allowed us to sit out, relax and BBQ whilst the kids
played around with the other children on the site. On the last night, it chucked it down. We were very grateful to be tucked up snugly
in the campervan rather than sleeping under canvass. We woke up to find that some of the tents had
actually packed up and gone. Thank goodness
for the Baron!!
It was a superb experience for the children – they loved
every minute of it, but lso for us.
Great times, with great friends, looking forward to doing it again –
thanks guys xx
