Sea Breeze CL, Appledore.

Well just five days at home and we were off down to Devon again, this time to a lovely little CL, (Caravan Club  Certified Location 5 Caravan Site)
We found the site easily and set up on what was a really lovely little site, that was beautifully kept.
We had never been to Appledore before and had decided to come here as James, Jade, Josie and Jack were staying in the town with Andy and Val, James's parents.
As we set up the awning roof split from top to bottom, caused by UV degradation, so it was repaired with gaffer tape!  It lasted the week though, and a new one, made of more substantial material was ordered during the week, to be delivered when we got home.
I did take a lot of photos, but they see to have escaped somewhere into space. A few remain though!

Sunday was a very hot day and we popped into Appledore for quick look, then back to sit outside the caravan.





On the Monday it was again very hot, so we made up a packed lunch and went to Westward Ho to join the 4 J's.
Westward Ho was very busy, but we managed to park, courtesy of the Blue Badge! We met up with the J's and spent a couple of hours with them before returning to camp to sit in the sun!
My thoughts on Westward Ho that it was very busy, and smelt of Fish, Chips and Candy Floss.

On Wednesday we drove over to Hartland Quay which was a stunning place.

From there we went round to Hartland Point and I climbed up to look down on the Lighthouse.

The lighthouse looks very little from the top of the cliffs.


It was Andy's birthday on the Thursday so we all went out for an excellent dinner.

Friday was again a stunning day, and we spent it at Northam Burrows which is a country park.

We drove home on the Saturday, through extremely heavy traffic.

Excellent week with only one damp spell, the rest of the weather being perfect.
Site cost £15.00 per night.
