# NIGHTS: 3
VENUE: Century House CCC Site, Scarisbrick Southport.
Getting ready Friday took a little longer, we weren't sure what to take so took everything. The thinking behind that was that we could sort out over the weekend. We would have time to learn what we needed and where it needed to go in the Pod.
Once we had packed everything it was time to hook the pod to the car, this was extremely easy as one person could move the pod off the drive.
It was a glorious day, the Sat Nav said it was approx a 1hr journey, we decided for the first outing we would take it easy down the East Lancs (A580). The trip was pretty much uneventful and we got to the site nice and relaxed. Harry had already arrived and was all set up with his Romahome.
The site is a very friendly family run working farm and has great very clean facilities. Each hook up point has a little brick service hut. The field is nice and flat. Toilets are especially clean and the shower although £1 for a token is well worth it (6 minutes).
We pitched the Pod and erected the Kyham XL Tailgate awning, this was self erect and once you got the gist of it took very little time to put up.
All in all it took about 15mins to fully set up and get the kettle on, this was encouraging, it can only get faster once we are sort out everything.
Friday evening we were presented with a lovely sunset.
And on Saturday morning after a very clear night we were woken up to frost that had frozen the condensation in the awning. It was one of those cool crisp mornings very nice.
In the Pod we were toasty. We set the bed up and left it up as the weather forecast was good so we thought we would live in the awning and sleep / cook in the Pod.
The day was spent relaxing and watching the birds, Goldfinch, Robin, Blue & Great Tit, Blackbirds, some BoP in the distance, Oystercatchers, Wood Pigeon and Chaffinch to name a few. We decided to pay a visit to the Red Lion Caravan dealer, we needed a extension for our waste pipe, this they provided free and we also bought some new cups. They had a couple of Pods on show and a great accessory shop.
For lunch we had salad and cold meats on wraps, lovely. We were amazed at how much the fridge actually help and how cold it was. For tea we had a treat and went out for a Carvery at the local pub. Harry had fish and chips. It was busy due to it being Mothers Day on Sunday and everyone trying to beat the rush :o). Back at camp we were treated to another great sunset.
Sunday was slightly warmer outside but that didn't matter to us inside the Pod, again a great nights sleep, I think I sleep better in the Pod than I do at home. Another day relaxing. A first for breakfast, fresh duck eggs, they were gorgeous. After an exciting trip to Red Lion yesterday we thought we would go back for a second look and buy some more goodies. Harry had a bit of a stumble that looked really painful - not good, luckily he was OK after a short rest.
We bought some matching glasses, electric kettle, toaster and some green tabs for the porta loo. I think we have everything we need now :o)))
A fantastic weekend was had by all of us, great weather, great company and we will be visiting here again at some point.
We are now planning our April adventure......
