Re: Caravan mini break

Hi Honey - nice to see you back.
So what's your overall impression of Blackpool?

Re: Caravan mini break

we didn't really spend much time there Carol because of the rain, I can't believe I didn't go into any shops but we parked the car in Talbot road and walked down to the prom, I did enjoy looking at the hotels all lit up and particularly the Lyndene where we used to be regular guests.
I must tell you we went to the Tramway pub in Cleveleys a couple of times for a buffet carvery and it was lovely! We used to go years ago but the food wasn't that great but it's changed now and we were pleasantly surprised

He's lived there a fair while used to work for BT as an Engineer on Cellnet.

I've been there once and walked down and up all those 108 steps to the station, visited the Museum(s), been to Costas(?) coffee and all the op shops.

However I have never been to Blackpool (he says, desperately trying to keep on topic)

Re: Caravan mini break

That is a "Mobile" home not a caravan,bit of a difference. Wouldn't like to tow that behind a car

A static caravan is also known as a mobile home compared to a touring caravan.

Re: Caravan mini break

true Mags! I guess we were spoiled on this first caravan holiday as we didn't book the luxury version and would have been quite happy in the one we originally booked but when we looked at it again it was nothing in comparison and now I'd want the same level of comfort and size we were given for the same rent which would be nigh on impossible!

Sounds like you had a nice time despite the weather Honey. Your caravan looked wonderful.

Re: Caravan mini break

thanks shirley! we were pretty lucky with the weather for this time of the year, only had one evening when it rained, the rest of the time it was warm and sunny so we managed to do a fair amount of walking
