We were at Hollingworth Lake Caravan Park for the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, and what turned out to be a late spring heatwave!

The rally field was a bit 'agricultural' but the fine weather, surroundings and activities more than made up for that.

There were 22 outfits on the rally, with more families than usual including our grandchildren, which was nice to see. One couple said they had come all the way from West Wales, I was told there was other visiting centres too which was good.

We went for walks around the lake, and checked out the 'seaside' vibe on the far side, not unlike Matlock Bath. There were lots of places to eat and drink too.

There were socials each evening in the Coleman shelters, with quizzes and light suppers. Other goings on there were scones on Saturday afternoon, sausage sandwiches on Sunday morning and 'kids time' in the early evenings.

But the main feature was really the weather - getting up in the 30s and giving everyone an opportunity to start their tans.

Thanks to everyone involved especially the Marshalls Mark, Veronica, David and Lesley for putting on a weekend to remember.
