Trip number 10 Clitheroe

Friday 19th - Sunday 21st June 2009

Day one
I had spent a couple of days at Whalley Abbey with work so we decided to try out a new campsite for the weekend. Neither of us had explored Lancashire before so going to Clitheroe was a bit of a gamble. What a great find! Its a lovely campsite within walking distance of the town - perfect for a short break. As usual Friday night was all about pitching up and chilling out.
Day two
We decided to go for a wander into Clitheroe and set off through the park by the River Ribble to discover a model engineers club had an open day. It was a fantastic find as we spent 2 hours chatting with members of the club, Matt took lots of photos and I even got a ride round the miniature track! We then headed into the town and had a wander through the market, visited the famous Byrne Brothers wine shop and wandered around Clitheroe Castle. We headed back to the van and had fish and chips from the visiting chip van on site, a perfect way to end a day full of surprises.
Day three
Time to go home again. We set off early and stopped off in Skipton for a quick wander and cup of coffee. Another successful adventure in Robin the campervan.
