Just back from a fantastic weekend at Conkers Camping and Caravanning Club Site (review to follow) with some friends on their very first camping trip. Here are a few pics of our weekend.

A trip to Twycross Zoo and Dinosaur Valley







A rather windy Conkers Campsite




Children in bed, time for the adults to relax a bit



Pirate Themed Day at Tutbury Castle



Roll on my next trip, 3 days and counting!

Looks as if you had a good time despite the wind. I am going to get very jealous soon with all the photos that keep appearing. Think I may need to pitch our backpacking tent in the garden to get a fix

Fantastic pictures, looked as though a good time was had by all!

Wish we could have got a way but family problems prevented it.

Look like a fabulous long weekend. :-)
