5th trip - Windermere

Our fifth trip was to Windermere camping and caravan site for 2 nights near the end of March 2011.
This site is a fab site with a good kids park in the shape of a large fort and a small pub and restaurant.
Strangely, the site isn't actually in Windermere but quite a few miles away.
We found a few geocaches on the approach lane which was handy for a short walk.
We'd visited this site a year before when we had our tent and enjoyed this site both times.
During this trip we went to Beatrix Potter's museum in hawkshead, which was a bit boring actually.
Am I allowed to say that?

4th trip - North View near Garstang

Our fourth trip was back to North View near Garstang to pick our caravan back up after having abandoning it there last week, due to car trouble.
The car had been fixed in the week for only £180-ish (extortion, I think they should call it, not mechanics).
We only spent 1 night there due to having a kids' party already organised for one of the kids.
Early in the morning I was watching the birds and squirrels playing in the trees and on the bird feeders (plastic milk bottles) that someone had put up.
