Lovely part of the Country.
The High Peak trail is worth checking out if you have bikes? Much quieter than the Tissington trail.

Always plug the electric cable into the van before connect to the mains supply, and disconnect from supply before unplug from van.
Just relax and enjoy

Remember the corkscrew. (Thought I'd get that one in first for a change 
)
)I can very clearly remember our fist strip ever out in our motorhome. A fe things didn't go right but it was all part of the learning curve and good fun anyway.
Any problems or questions please ask on here. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
Have a great time.

thank you. Unfortunately we aren't taking the bikes on this trip with having Skip with us. We are however intending to go to the Whitby area in July and WILL be taking the bikes as Skip will be in home boarding for the ten days x

And the tin-opener. Not all tins have ring-pulls................................!
Number one must do, is visit the chip shop in the market Square in Ashbourne.
Usually plenty room to park right outside it, when we were there about a month ago the parking meters weren't working either so free parking

Take a notebook and pen - so you can write down things you need or forgot to bring.
And relax, there is no obligation to do anything!

If it's the first time using this van, check everything works as it should do. Take a notepad to write down anything that doesn't to get it sorted out by your dealer on your return home. Other than that, just enjoy!

We stayed last Saturday night on a site in Buxton after taking the moho in for a quotation. Parked up about 1400 did absolutely nothing just relaxed.

- enough to know i shouldnt touch things i know nothing about ....
if at all possible, spend the night on your driveway first and treat it as though you were away. if you can do it for 24 hours then even better. you will soon realise what 'additional' things you might need - but most of all dont panic or worry about anything and just make a note of anything you might not have with you (instead of 'forgotten' LOL)

Take some pictures for us of the outside from inside .. particularly of tuggers struggling to erect awnings in the gales.
If the gales do happen try parking head-on to the wind to help prevent rocking.

Another electric thing - CAMC bollards often require you to twist the connector clockwise then press the red button to disconnect. It catches quite a few people out!
Have fun

Make sure you park exactly 5cm to the left of the peg!

Yep, took me a while to get some power out of the bollard first time. Not that I needed any. But it was there and I'd already had to pay for it, so I was going to use it!
I have a question. What's a fist strip, and are you allowed to do them on caravan club sites?
