First day at Center Parcs

Arrived down at Center Parcs for about 17:00 after a fairly nasty drive. The weather was terrible with wind and rain. Visibility was appalling but it did dry up once we arrived.
Once we checked in and finally drove around to the cabin, avoiding red squirrels and ducks we quickly dumped the stuff in the cabin and started to get settled.

The cabin is quite nice. An entrance hallway with toilet means we can keep our wet gear and shoes out of the main living bit. An open plan kitchen dining room and sitting area has the 2 bedrooms and bathroom of it.




Fiona's pal Christine is also down this weekend with her family. They had the bright idea to order takeaway so Alan was sent off to Penrith to get Chinese while we dropped the car back in the car park for the week - its foot or pedal power all week inside the park limits.
Once we dropped the car off we descended on them for dinner and card games 'til late.
Great fun was had by all but Fiona who fared the worst at the cards...
