Bridport Bingham Grange CMC Site

Well this site was new to the CMC in 2018, and although it is a lovely site, in a perfect position, it is going to need an lot of work to get it to the normal CMC standard. Pitches are all different shapes and sizes, and are not very level. It reminds me of a continental site as there are hedges all over the place.
Up to now the CMC have just made the site safe, particularly the electrics which are only 10amp, rather than the more normal 16amp. There are also sorts of steps and slopes, and the site is definitely not disabled friendly.
There is a restaurant/bar, up two flights of stairs so Lizzie could not access it. As for the toilets and showers I would describe them as adequate! Enough said

Despite all this the weather was good and we enjoyed our stay.
Redevelopment start from late October 2019 and is going to cost a fortune! We look forward to returning next year to see how the site has changed!

Monday was hot so we stayed on site and I waterproofed the awning.
We went down to West bay on Tuesday and enjoyed fish and chips on the front. West bay was surprisingly busy.  We drove along the coast just admiring the scenery!




Our caravan on pitch and the good view in the background.


 We went to Dorchester on Thursday to have lunch with an ex colleague of mine . Mary and I taught together at St Johns in the 1970's


Mary and Lizzie
On Friday a major storm was forecast so the awning was taken down. Rather glad that we did as the caravan really swayed in the wind through the night! It was so strong that the sea got very rough!






We drove home on the Sunday, only for a couple of nights before we went down to Chittlehamholt to see Jade, James, Jack and Josie for a few days as we will soon be heading to Europe!
