Trailer

Aren't we the luckiest people around? Over the years our demand for luxury camping has vastly increased the amount of camping accessories we take with us when we go away. It has got to the point where Chris' car is fully loaded inside, on the boot rack and also high on top of the roof rack and still we struggle.

Last month he had a towbar fitted and the intention was to get a trailer to make it easier to pack the heaviest of stuff. However, this isn't the ideal time of the year to buy a trailer as obviously now is the time that everyone wants one.

I really didn't want to go to Blackpool for the week without a trailer now that we got the facility tow one. Luckily Dave from work said we could borrow his trailer for this time and then get one before easter next year. That way we have all winter to buy one at the right price.

Dave didn't manage to get his trailer out of the garage but he asked his brother on our behalf to lend us his trailer which we picked up last weekend. It's not quite as big as the one we were planning to buy but it's ideal for trying out the towbar and electrics and ofcourse towing itself which Chris has never done yet.

We have got as far as buying a number plate for our own trailer so Chris has fastened that on to the borrowed trailer and is currently in progress of loading it up ready for Blackpool tomorrow.

Gosh it seems a long time since we went camping in June so it will be so nice to go away for over a week and in Blackpool of all places. The illuminations start on Friday so we will get the chance to see them as well as doing the usual things that we like about Britain's most popular seaside resort.
