With our wedding anniversary approaching and having half empty nest feelings (one daughter headed off to university) we were really looking forward to our Southport Airshow weekend. We had decided to make it a long weekend so having finished work early, we set off in Monty at 2.30. After a 2 hour drive on the A59 we arrived. First impressions driving through were very favourable. Lots of shops and eating places to choose from. We were staying at the Caravan Club Southport Site and were warmly welcomed by friendly wardens. There were only 3 pitches left to choose from which made life easier. Are we the only ones that find choosing a pitch difficult when given too many to choose from? We sometimes drive round twice to decide! If the weather is poor we site closer to the toilet block so it’s only a short dash in the rain. If the weather is sunny we find ourselves wondering which pitch is the best to catch the evening sun… Anyway pitch easily chosen, we quickly set up. It is quite a large site 190 + pitches. As with all Caravan Club sites the facilities are modern and clean with 2 toilet blocks. There are lots of cute rabbits here. The site is situated on the Esplanade. You cross the road, climb through the sand dunes and then you can see the sea although the tide is very far out. It was really warm and sunny so we sat out for a while, had tea, watched a film and then had a good nights sleep.
