Travelling North…

Standard

Commuting around the M25 has been almost pleasant during the summer weeks so when the satnav highlighted A34 delays the decision was taken to route to Derbyshire via the M4 and M25. This turned out to be a big mistake as the M1 was down to a single lane at Milton Keynes. We left the M1 shortly after the M25 junction and took the A5 all the way to Towcester.

From there to Baslow was relatively trouble free (by Blighty standards only I must add) with a mid-afternoon arrival at the Chatsworth House Caravan Club site.

This is a stunning location and we have rented a Super Pitch for the 13 night stay. And the pitch is great. The usual electricity, water and grey waste facilities BUT complimented by our own personal chemical disposal drain.

The evening entertainment was a walk into Baslow through the grounds of Chatsworth House, via the “private” door-in-the-wall and dinner at the Wheatsheaf.
