Sandylands Holiday Park (Parkdean Resorts)
Okay, first things first, before we start the actual review, I would like to say that usually this type of content would be accompanied by photos…lots and lots of photos. But to be completely honest with you, it didn’t occur to me until I was already back home that I could maybe talk about the experience I had on the site. So instead I encourage you to use your imagination, and I will endeavour instead to paint you a word picture.
Also, we were fortunate enough that our full holiday was actually covered by The Holiday Project, an organisation I’ll be talking about at a later date. The reason I mention this, is firstly to shine a little light on the organisation listed above, but also because I can say that even if we’d had a bad time as Sandylands Holiday Park, that it still would have been worth the money we paid, which is to say none.
But since we had such a good time, and plan on recommending you take a similar trip, I will try to price as closely as possible to how much it would be to do so. I had a little trouble price matching, just due to the lack of availability currently but from a quick check of their site, for a 7 night stay from Monday to Sunday, it will cost in the region of between £350 and £450, with the variability depending upon when you want to go, and whether you can take advantage of any sort of booking discounts.

#OTD in 1856 – Birth of Sir John Lavery, an Irish painter best known for his portraits, in Belfast.
John Lavery was born in Belfast, the son of a wine and spirit merchant, but was orphaned at the age of three and for a number of unsettled years wandered between Moira, Magheralin, Saltcoats, Ayrshire and Glasgow. Finally he started working by touching up photographic negatives in Glasgow and attended evening classes at the Haldane Academy of Art.
He painted at the village of Grès-sur-Loing…

Day Sixty-seven
It's another day!
Whilst the back and foot are still stiff and achey, I don't feel they're bad enough to prevent progress being a teeth-gritting experience now, so it's time to get back to it.
A very fond fairwell this morning to the wonderful @danieldddddddda & Claire who have been utterly helpful hosts and I again cannot thank you both enough for some very well spent recovery time!
On we go! Onto the road in pretty Whitehaven and it's a roll downhill to jump on to the cycle lane along the rail line before some climbs up into the adjacent hills to head down to St Bees, with a lovely view of the coast from the hillside.
It's a zoom down to the town before a short climb back up and out into the country lanes down the coast. Some nice rolling hills through the fields and decent weather make for a great start to the day.
Past Braystones there are a few signposts for the cycle routes but it's not too consistent and after some meandering around the countryside the route finally leads on past the famed nuclear power site at Sellafield.
Whilst the cycle route signposts suggest that I'm required to now get a train down to Seascale to continue, I think that's a nonsense idea, and start following down the old trails along the south aide of the power station.
After crossing the River Calder, I continue a bit before the trail becomes impassible for my bike, so switch to exploring the coast footpath and, despite the sand in places, am able to make reasonable going down it, and enjoy a nice ride right along the coastline down to Seascale, with some lovely views over to the hills in the Lake District.
The cycle route picks up here again, and it's a ride up over the cliffs along the B5344, with aome nice going through Drigg and a short spell on the busier A road to pass over the River Irt.
There's some interesting riding around the rivers through Saltcoats, with a ride through a ford and over a railway bridge to arrive into Ravenglass.
Following the cycle route leads through some lovely forest here until the route unceremoniously decides to just end. With that, it's a little backtracking up the hill and starting what I knew would have to be tackled at some point on this leg - the A595.
Thankfully the traffic isn't too awful currently and, with better road surfaces and a light tailwind, I'm able to get some good pace going. And given the extended break that has been had lately, I'm happy to have a means to grind some miles out.
I'm in amongst the borders of the Lake District at this point and it certainly makes itself known, with a good few climbs and stiffer gradients appearing at times.
A few on the way down past Bootle are fortunately accompanied by some pavements to the side of the road which make the slow climbs far more dealable. Alas there are also plenty that are just a case of getting the head down and slogging along whilst the traffic works its way past.
I dip off the road at Silecroft to stick closer to the coast and pop in to Millom, which seems quite a nice little town. The route back out though is a tough stretch, which I really should have anticipated given the village literally just named "The Hill".
Thebroad rejoins the A595 past The Green, where all the climbing gets some payoff with a long zoom past leafy forests down to Duddon bridge, where we promptly have another hard climb back up to Broughton-in-Furness.
With that the road is back out of the Lakes again, and I take a last look back tmat the lovely hills before heading on to Grizebeck and swinging southwards into the wind.
It's more slogging it out on the A595 yet, and with plenty of long climbs still coming. The ascents do afford a nice view of the coast whilst peddling along at least, and the miles keep getting run down.
Before long it's finally a turn off onto the A590, which starts to include some good stretches of off-traffic cycle paths as it heads down to Barrow-in-Furness.
Heading in through the outskirts of town is a lot of industrial areas before hitting a supermarket where I can top up on a few supplies.
By this point it's hitting 7pm, and whilst still suffering some aches and pains from the fall it's probably sensible to bed down soon. And I don't want to be caught in an urban area to do so, so carrying on through Barrow shall wait for tomorrow.
Thankfully I did spot some good forested areas on the ride in to this point, so it's a short few miles back up the road to dip in to the forests and get pitched up for the night.
Not too bad going today all things considered!

Charles Duguid was born on 6th April 1884 at Saltcoats, Ayrshire.
I only learned of this man 4 years ago, and have to say, if ever there was an apt name for a man “Dr Do Good” as he became known has that honour.
Duguid was the son of Charles Duguid, a teacher, and Jane Snodgrass Kinnier, daughter of Robert S. Kinnier, a surgeon, he attended Ardrossan Academy, where his father was Headmaster between 1882 and 1889, and the High School in Glasgow, before studying medicine at Glasgow University he gained a Master of arts in 1905 before going on to gain degrees in Medicine and surgery. Whilst teaching at Glasgow University, Duguid worked as a doctor in the slums of Glasgow, but in 1911 he signed on as ship’s surgeon for a voyage to and from Australia. This experience led him to emigrate to Australia in 1912. His early medical work in the Glasgow slums developed in him a compassion for the underdog which continued throughout his 102-year life.
After settling in Victoria and marrying an Australian lass, who tragically died in 1927, he remarried in 1930, both Duguid and his wife were idealists and humanitarians, the murder of a white man by Aboriginals at Landers Creek, Northern Territory, sparked Duguid’s interest in their rights.
The police shot 17 Aboriginals during the course of the hunt for the murderer, but official records at the time state that at least 31 people were killed. In 1934 he headed to Darwin, but missed his connection from Alice Springs after responding to a request to perform some emergency surgery there and stayed on for three weeks. He was appalled at the way Aboriginal people were treated there and by their poor living conditions.
Duguid’s wife Phyllis, founded the Aboriginal Advancement League in 1935 and Duguid served as President. In 1937, Duguid helped to found Ernabella Mission in the Musgrave Ranges of South Australia. He lectured and spoke in the UK as well as Australia and New Zealand about the conditions of the Australian Aborigines.
Duguid was active in other organizations concerned with the advancement of Aboriginal rights such as the Council for Aboriginal Rights and the Association for the Protection of Native Races. He also led the 1947 campaign against the establishment of a British-Australian rocket testing program at Woomera in the Central Australian Desert. He worked closely with Donald Thompson to inform the public of the harmful effect that this program would have on those people still living traditionally, nearby.
In addition to his work with Australian Aborigines, Duguid helped to found the Australian branch of the English-Speaking Union, of which he was Chairman in 1932. In 1935, he was elected Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of South Australia. Duguid died in Adelaide on December 5th, 1986 at the age of 102.
