Well the plan this weekend was to work overtime as were off to Cornwall in a lovely cottage for the Jubilee week. The holiday is a freebie (apart from spendo) as my brothers girlfriend won a competition to stay in the cottage for a week!! Really nice looking too, its called Wallis Barn at Tregiddle. It has got one downside to it though, the roof isn't canvas!!  Take a look at this for a pad though.................

Not a bad prize eh? Theres 9 of us going so should be fun!

Anyhow, looking at the weather, I thought theres no way I can work this weekend, so I've changed our plans and booked Callow Top at Ashbourne instead !! Fingers crossed this weather is to stay for some time!

We are off to Callow Top this weekend.  Its our first ever family camping trip.  We'll be easy to spot, we'll be the ones wrestling witht he tent poles and guy lines as we try and master the tent.  Weather loooks like it is going to be good until Sunday, Wondering how heated the pool is?  Is it warm heated or just enough to take the worst of the chill of heated?

Not felt the water temperature myself but it must be quite warm. We were there 2 weeks ago and there were people swimming. It wasn't nearly as warm as its forecast for the weekend.

We will be in field 6 at top of site, we're in a Cabanon Guadeloupe pyramid tent. Say hello if ur passing

Sounds good, the kids are desperate to go for a swim. We have just purchased an Outwell Virginia 5. Just looked at the pics of your tent, should be easy to spot

The weathers good up here at the moment and set to stay (I'm only about 10 miles from Ashbourne).

Have a great weekend.
