We were at Ravenglass, West Cumbria. Fantastic site. Cold, but the site is in a nice secluded spot surrounded by trees, so didn't get the full force of the chilly wind. We had a few snow flurries but nothing much really. It was nice and sunny most of the time but very cold!

Drove to Wastwater for the day, winner of ITV's "Britain's Favourite View". A site to behold, especially the snow on the mountain tops......Awesome sight!

Thats just down the road from us, we live at Egremont!! We were at Springlea Allonby, the weather was great it had a few flurries but didnt lay.There was 6 caravans of us went and we had a great laugh. Our friends lightweight awning poles bent in the wind though!!

We went to Troutbeck up near Keswick for the easter break. Gale force winds on thursday evening made going over the A66 pass very slow, hail and snow showers on friday and saturday made going out interesting, then heavy snow on the saturday night into sunday morning was exciting, with an early call for a snowball fight easter morning! Slight problem getting out of the van as the  little porch awning had sagged a bit with the weight of the snow, and a friend had to push the snow off for us so we could get out the door! The children in our group (and some of the big kids) had a whale of a time with about 8 inches of snow to make into snowmen and snow bunnies. In the van we were toasty warm, but some of the rufty tufty campers in little two men tents found the weather a bit bracing! The snow was still on the ground when we had to leave on monday, but all the main routes were clear.

Same here! Thursday to Monday also.

The wind was incredible on the Thursday night, I thought it was going to blow us over.  It ripped and bent the tubes of the peoples awning 2 spaces away from us.  I never put the handbrake on when we park up........I will in future after it went for a wander while sitting inside.

We went to Fily for the easter weekend to try out our "new to us "campervan. Up till now we were tenters , it was great outside it was cold and snowy, inside it was warm and cosy. First ever campervan trip went well. Shame about all the power cuts though.

---

You must have been at Blue Dolphin? we had power cuts.  Will never go away that early again.

Loved the new motor home but miss me tent.  We had our tent flattend on the Thursday night and put it in the bin, unlike others that just went and left the rubbish.

Seaview at Berwick for 4 nights followed by 4 nights at Barnard Castle.

The Thursday night at Seaview was unbelievable, it felt like the van was going to blow over, a few people even moved there vans around at 3am to try to evade the wind, then the power cuts started!!!!. It was great though, this time last year we was in a tent LOL!!!!!!!!!!!.
