This week, the site guide from the Camping and Caravan Club arrived in the post. I always look forward to it and the Caravan Club one arriving. In its pages are so many destinations both new ones promising adventure and old favourites with their familiarity.

I’ve only just started to look at it but I’m thinking that the Lake District will be getting a few visits. Lots of walking to be done and many things to see. And at only three hours or so from home, perfect for a weekend away. Load the van on a Friday morning, take a half day from work and I can be pitched up in beautiful surroundings by tea time.

Lots to peruse through the dark winter nights but I’m looking forward to planning 2014’s adventures.
