To be fair we did manage to fit some fun stuff in before the weather struck back!
Croissants from the camp shop made for a nice breakfast. By the time we were all abluted it was nearly midday.
We decided to go to our beach (Lee Bay) at the foot of the campsite. We didn’t fancy the 45 minute hike with the Twinnies so we drove down. Car parking was a bit traumatic but we managed it eventually and had a very pleasant hour or two amongst the rook pools. We found several dead crabs and one very much alive one that took a liking to my right index finger!
We then moved onto Ilfracombe through some very “Devon” lanes - no way Brunnehilda would have found her way through!
We parked at the Promenade in Ilfracombe which, I have to say was half the price of its neighbour Woolacombe!
Crazy Golf was our go to destination. The good news is that Kim got the memo this time and Charlie won. The Twinnies and I tied for last place although, in my defence, we did let them count their own shots at each hole!
By the time we had finished we were starving so a quick trip to the fish and chip shop restaurant was next on the agenda The 3rd one in 3 visits and this one was a similar standard to the first one - the clear winner being Lynbay. I managed to leave my back pack behind at today’s so that will be another bloody trip to Ilfracombe tomorrow - we will NOT be having fish and chips!
The rain came right on schedule so we headed off to Barnstaple for a shop. First to a camping shop to spend another £100 - this time on 2 camp beds for Isabella - to replace the duff blow up mattress.
Then to Asda. The Twinnies didn’t bring any toys with them but thankfully £30 can buy a lot of fun at Asda.
Back to Brunnehilda for the normal tea, play and bed set up. It is blowing a gale tonight and after the incident with the falling tent pole (onto Kims’ head!) we decided to all pile into the safe and warm Brunnehilda.
The forecast is rain all day tomorrow - I’m guessing they’ll be right again!!?
