A visit to Victoria and Graham's first house they have owned together, for a "last night as a "Reay", for Victoria.

Victoria and Graham's wedding ceremony proceeds without a hitch, and we are head off to the Greyhound on the Test for food, drink and dancing (for the "young ones").

To Stockbridge
Thursday, 15th March 2018 to Stockbridge
The plan is to arrive at Stockbridge by this evening, just over 300 miles, to meet up with Brian, Linda and the soon to be married Graham and Vicki, plus Michaela.
It is a cold grey morning when we leave, and, it only gets worse!
By Teesside it is raining heavily and this continues.
A stop for breakfast, at Wetherby, then another for lunch, to arrive at Stockbridge by 15:30.
Our overnight stop is a Caravan and Motorhome Club CL (London Hill Farm, N51 7' 13" ; W1 28' 35").
The CL is just off the A30, a rather busy road, but, it is far enough from the road so that traffic noise is not an issue.
It is a trifle odd location, behind a group of Industrial Units (the largest of which FabTech, provides the signposting, so you know you have reached your destination.
The actual CL is a small grassed area, behind the Industrial Units.
Although there are quite a few packed cars, suggesting a number of people work here, there is no noticeable noise to disturb the peace and quiet.
The sun is shining!
While the Industrial Units are hardly "scenic", the view on two sides is rather beautiful, but, then on the other side are the Units.
There are EHU, points arranged around the edge of the grassed area, and water (which we have found), yet to find the Chemical Emptying point, or, grey water emptying point.
The ground is rather wet, so, we are, not very neatly, parked right on the edge of the CL, with front wheels on solid ground, just in case.
But, since we are the only ones here, it makes little difference.
It is approximately one mile into Stockbridge, but, it would appear you have to walk along the A30, there is no footpath, and, for later, no street lights, I do not think we will be risking life and limb to do that.
