Day 3 had concluded with our arrival at Tarn House, near Skipton around teatime. During my childhood and early adult years, Tarn House was a magnificent country pub; a small group of my friends would regularly meet on a Sunday lunchtime for a few beers before roast dinner with our respective parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarn House is now a massive Static park with 18 touring pitches… The once magnificent bar and dining room has been converted into a reception area and a smaller bar which was at least open (until 10pm). But the view from Tarn House itself, is now a landscape of static caravans…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few pictures from Tarn House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notwithstanding the somewhat altered landscape, the touring facilities were excellent and it’s just a 30 – 40 minute walk into Skipton. Moe and I enjoyed drinks at the Boat House, overlooking the canal basin and then Fish n Chips at Bizzie Lizzies (still highly recommended).

Thursday morning and we filled the Transporter with Diesel. I was pleasantly surprised that we still had half a tank remaining (300+ miles) and the van had been returning in excess of 40mpg. Quite impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s beginning to get a bit wet and wild up here in the Dales and after a morning shopping in my home town, we headed to the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Long Ashes near Threshfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An afternoon worthy of staying in the van with the doors and windows fully closed and the heating on. A time to catch up with the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sandwich for tea and then a couple of drinks at the Gamekeepers Inn (part of the Long Ashes park). It got somewhat busy later on as the local Rugby team descended for drinks, presumably post-training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
