1st Camping Trip

Well back from weekend away at Golden Cap Camp Site, Chideock, near Bridport.
All 7 of us 4 sleeping in camper and 3 in new awning.



Great sea view

And we were determined to enjoy the sea view regardless of out typical Easter (cold/wet) weather

Know that neck of the woods quite well, coming from Axminster At least you've had sun. I've not seen any of that yet.

It's good to see that everybody kept wrapped up!

Love this campsite, great views, peaceful, fishing at night with kids, clean large showers.

Very wet awning to dry out now somehow - too large for garden

Looks like you had a great time.

Looking good.

Hi HappyHouse
Looks great - we swim at Burton Bradstock regularly - fishing for Mackeral off the beach is a joy - fish, gut/clean and BBQ - nothing quite like it.
Well done braving the great British Weather!

Just back from the New Forest, a few chilly moments and rain today, but otherwise great fun. Met up with Tallulah as well for the night!

We drove through Chideock on Friday, visiting friends just North of Axminster, and again on Sunday heading Eas, back to the New Forest.

It looked great!

Tallulah

Saw you were in Blandford where did you stay in New Forest?

Blandford Forum Thursday night (brrr!) 2 nights with friends near Axminster then Sunday night at Harrow Wood campsite near Bransgore.

hey, looks graet, lovely familiy, hope it is warm by you there. looks cold :-) brrrrrrrrrr.
do you make camping at ervery weather?

Seeing and hearing about all these camping trips is making me very impatient. And I know it's only going to get worse as there is still another 7 weeks to go.

Hi Michel

Yes we camp in every weather, not planned that way just great british weather takes over. we always make the best of whatever weather we are given. wellies, raincoats and warm sleeping bags every time! happy times

that sounds like cool. you are crazy :-D how many mils do you drive a jear with camping? have you a fest place to camping?

First camp in camper , on;y had her since november. previously camp in tent. been to devon, along jurassic coast and france. big trip to paris and la rochelle for two weeks in august!

Might see you in La Rochelle. We're heading to the Ile de Re in August.

wow, tell me in end of the year how many mils do you drive with the van :-)
great hobby, isnt it? what says your partner about this hobby ? do you maks camping before you have the van? in my family is a man, he maks camping every weekend at the same place. and this since many many years. i think the camping car doesnt drive anymore. and that is not so good i think about. for just a week okay, but like the way you do, to drive on many places is good. :-)

hi walmsleys, we are going to il de re in august too! camping interlude, have you been to il de re before, its our first time

We went to the Ile de Re last year and La Rochelle although not in the van. We stayed in L'Aiguillan sur Mer about an hour's drive away. Beautiful area - and the weather was good too. Had a really fab time and can thoroughly recommend the area. Long drive there though unless you break it up and take a couple of days getting there.

Ile de Re is one of my favourite places in the world! We've been several times but never for more than a day at a time.

We're staying on the Municipal site in Saint Martin de Re - a beautiful port with fantastic sea food restaurants. La Flotte is lovely too.

When in August are you going?

Saint Martin (click)

Ile de Rey is sooo much nicer than Ile D'Oleron - which I found quite disappointing - then again it was that summer where the temp went up to 43 degrees - and people were dying in the streets!
