We thought we would try the National as it was not far from home, got all packed up with the hope of taking lots of pictures for you all well -

we only spotted 3, out of the hundreds/thousands there most of them were modern all singing dancing things not like we have, we had a wander around but with the rain & wind we only took a few photos

when we first saw this one we thought it was a bit of a strange colour???

this one was owned by Vicount Coke, caravan club president and Holkham Hall owner

a few of the vans there were also loads round the other side of the hall

we were glad we took the oven, it was the first time we had tried it out

the best thing we brought was a storm strap with out it I think we would have lost the awning

and the last photo - the answer to why the carlight was painted that colour

we are now keeping fingers crossed as we are off soon to the Cheltenham National - sorry for the previous spelling mistakes would not let me preview it - hopefully all sorted out now Embarassed

I think it might be a Carlight, hmm expensive tastes.

EDIT: Just read Gilberry's post and it is indeed a Carlight.

Jayne, I hope you used your Melaware stuff. Wink

Don't forget the cups and saucers, oh and the sugar lumps. Ask Sharpey about sugar lumps when you see him. Cool

The Carlight is a Continental, pulled by another Continental.

Cost the owner £10,000 to have it restored at the factory.
