Two Days at Thirsk Racecourse Caravan Club Site 2016

Dot was still off work so after her Dads birthday, we looked for somewhere else to go for a couple of days, unfortunately we had to be back for physio and dentist appointments after then. So we just booked the Caravan Club site in Thirsk on the racecourse for the two nights.

20th September to the 23rd

Tuesday 20th September

We arrived in Thirsk not too long after twelve and for the first time ever, we were given one of the three pitches facing over the racecourse. A very nice spot to be pitched in.

We got set up and only used the aerial for the TV, it was not worth bothering with the sat. Eventually we went out for a walk, we went through the town, looked in some of the shops, then wandered over one of the bridges. It wasn't that long before we crossed over the other bridge back into town and continued with our shopping. I bought a couple of new beers from the off licence near The Three Tons pub and we got a couple of other things close by.

Eventually though it was time for tea (I have just recently realised that the word tea and its meaning for the early evening meal, is not widely known, anyway we wanted food), so we went into The Three Tons. Yes another Wetherspoons pub but they are very cheep and most are very nice places, this one is anyway.

After tea and a couple of pints, I had Arcadia, Thunder Trail, from the USA (actually from the Caledonian brewery Scotland), dot had lager, we made our way back to the campsite. We called into Tesco on the way back but we didn't need anything except milk.

Wednesday 21st September

Not as sunny today as yesterday but not cold at all so after lunch we went out for a walk again. This time we wandered off towards the church and then down by the river. We were going to have a longer walk but Dot didn't feel to well, so we sat by the river instead.

After the sit we made our way into town and Dot got an ice cream, I on the other hand bought some more bottled beer (I wonder where that went, I put is somewhere). We then sat in the town square while Dot ate her ice cream and we decided what to do next. Well we had another wander about the shops before giving up and going back in to Spoons for tea.

Tea was good as usual and I tried a different beer, Naylor's, Origaninal Liquorice Libation, this is what I wrote 4.4% black in colour with a nice head, the aroma is blackcurrant and something strange, the taste is a stout with Iiquorice and blackcurrant not that good at all, went back to the one I had yesterday after that one.

Soon it was time to wander back to the van and watch TV.

Thursday 22nd September

We had plenty of time to get ready to head off home but we just sorted stuff out and off we went.
