Ferry Meadows Caravan Club Site, nr Peterborough

Cloudy again this morning, with a bit of drizzle in the air, but it never amounted to much.

After breakfast we managed to get the awning down and left just before 1pm.

Overcast this morning with total cloud cover, although it wasn’t cold.

We had a chill for a couple of hours whilst waiting for friends, Wendy and Brian who live nearby who were coming tho spend the day with us.

We went for a walk around the lakes, calling for ice cream on the way. As the day went on the cloud burnt off and it turned into a lovely warm sunny day.

We headed back to the van for a while, before walking half a mile down the road to the beefeater for tea.

We had a steady walk back to the van and Wendy and Brian went home so we had a nice relaxing evening.

Sun was up this morning. A few white clouds about but generally very Warm.

Had no problem getting a shower even though the site is pretty full.

After a relaxing cuppa or two we hopped on the bikes for a relatively gentle 10.6 miles around the various lakes of Nene Park. We did stop off on route for the customary ice cream and look around the visitor centre.

Then it was back to the van, for a nice relaxing read in the sun. It was very hot in the afternoon and I did catch the sun on my knees a little.

After tea we settled down for the evening.

We arrived at Ferry Meadows Caravan Club Site around 4:45pm. It was a nice pleasant afternoon with some warm early evening sun.

The awning went up really well and we were soon having a nice cuppa. Mobile phone and TV reception isn’t very good at all, although the Electric Hook Up boxes do have TV sockets which are free to use. You can buy a 25 metre TV cable from reception for £17.50. Luckily we had one from when we were at Buxton Caravan Club site.

Ferry meadows is a nice level and open site set in Nene Park, a country Park with Steam Trains, lake, cycle and walking trails and every kind of sporting facility laid on.

We had tea in the van and had a nice relaxing evening.

A bit overcast this morning with a few bright spells. We managed to get the awning down in the dry and set off for home just before Midday, arriving back at Mirey Lees around 1 pm.

Quite pleasant again this morning. Full cloud cover but not much black in it. We did discover a second shower block with 3 more showers, and I still didn’t queue.

Unfortunately by the time we were washed and dressed, the showers started again, so we decided to have a relaxing couple of hours and go out later.

We had a ride into Tamworth for a look round.  The showers held off for the rest of the afternoon but unfortunately, being as it was Sunday, Tamworth was pretty much closed. 

We had a drink in Costa Coffee then headed off to the Ventura Retail Park on the outskirts of town. Maddy bought herself a new waterproof coat.

We had tea at the local Harvester before heading back to the van for the evening.
