Lyme Regis March 2019

-
During our return from a family party in Brighton we visited Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast for the day.  So refreshing that they cater for motorhomes in their  Charmouth Road car park.  Just £1 per hour and free 6 pm to 8 am.  No overnight camping but even so a town that is astute to its tourist base.

The Town

Lyme Regis itself is beautiful and, having been allocated a special spot we made the most of our time and spent money locally.  A 10 minute stroll down the footpath leading from the car park will tighten your calves and reward you with an amazing view of the Jurassic Coast.

Of course once there we indulged in some fossil hunting whilst marvelling at the marvellous March weather that quite frankly could have been August.



The fossils are everywhere in the rocks we had great fun finding them.  Truly an amazing place to visit.

A way in which we can record our travels and adventures in Bluebell, our beautiful motor home. We decided not to wait until we retire but to live the moment and see as much as we can.

Henry’s Campsite the Lizard Cornwall May 2018

If you love quirky you will love love love  Henry’s  Campsite.  The most southerly site in the UK it is boho bliss. Relaxed, chilled with free range animals, fire pits and a stunning sea view.  If you like the ordered neatness of a club site, or are not so confident manoeuvring your home into non uniform pitches then best avoid.   But if like us you just want to chill, star watch and pretend the world does not exist outside the bubble you will love it.  A complete mix of tents, campers and everything in between all jumbled up into one happy family. Lizard  Village a mere 2 minutes walk with shops, pubs and restaurants.   You can hire a bbq or brazier, there is also a shop which sells everything you could possibly need.    Not huge amounts of showers or loos but atmosphere brilliant.  We found it quite noisy at night as our neighbours sat out until 3 am talking round their brazier - with noise levels rising as cider suppl...

Chedder 5th May 2019

Chedder  We managed a one night stopover at   Chedder .  A little bit pricy but sometimes when you are staying for a short time you want to know what you can expect. Anyway a cracking site, small by club standards but it is all about the location, location, location. This site is perfectly located for walking, yes walking to both  Chedder Town and Chedder Gorge -  no more than 5 minutes gentle,mostly completely off road,  stroll and you find yourself in the town.  For the more ambitious of you a further 10 minutes gentle exertion  will take you to the heart of Chedder Gorge itself.   Whilst we love our Moho there is often the angst and frantic internet searching to find out whether we can park nearby an attraction, so having the freedom to walk was perfect. We had a fabulous afternoon wandering around the Gorge, looking at endless tourist shops,  sampling the “only cheese claimed to be made in Chedder itself” ...
