We witnessed a new caravan being craned into
place today – Swiss campsite style. The old one had its snow roof ripped off,
then was lifted out by a truck that had appeared. No ropes attached to guide it – they used a
plank. It was a bit dodgy to say the least. The new one was lifted in a similar
fashion – this time they struggled to stop it swinging about and it nearly
smashed into the lorry cab! A bit of frantic pushing with a ladder avoided any
damage . The owner then clambered right underneath it whilst it was suspended.
Eek. £20k plus of Hobby caravan being dangled about with minimal control.
it nearly went wrong!
our pitch - lift behind us
This was a very peaceful place to be despite being very close to the village centre. Lots of farming activity to watch above us on the valley sides - muck spreading season. Poo.

The camp site at Churwald looks really nice; fancy doing that one myself some time. Tina - what make are the camp chairs you have in pic 4 above, and how do you rate them? Need to get myself something similar soon.
