Blackland Lakes, Calne, Wiltshire Friday 1st July - Sunday 3rd July 2016

Over recent years we have arranged a weekend away with work colleagues.  These have always been good fun with lots of games and alcohol.  We had booked to go to Blackland Lakes near Calne in Wiltshire, not too far from our work base to enable everyone to arrive at a decent time and enjoy Friday evening.  The site has several fields available including a rally field and a field that seems to be seasonal pitches There is an outdoor undercover barbeue area and bar, fishing lakes and some pet goats.  
We were pitched in the first field with caravans up against the fence for the electric and the tents pitched in front of us.  This was fine as we knew everyone but it would have been too close otherwise.
For our evening meal we decided on a takeaway, so orders were taken, phoned through and people were despatched to collect the food from nearby Calne. After a few drinks and some silly word games we went to bed.  Saturday morning after breakfast some of the team set up their fishing gear on the lakeside while the remaining members played Kubb (pronounced Koob).  This has become a tradition on our work weekend camps and is great fun.  In the evening we shared our food and enjoyed what has become known as a "banquet".  We agreed it had been a very enjoyable weekend with requests to repeat again as soon as possible.
