We decided to go to Clovelly this afternoon. We didn’t really do our homework - I knew it was a walk down through the village to the harbour but I didn’t remember it being so bloody steep and cobbled! If we had realised we might have chosen more appropriate footwear. The boys did well and we got to the bottom, ate a pasty, had an ice cream, walked on the pebbled beach and got back to the top - all in a very enjoyable 3 hour stay.
On the way back up the hill we had some caricatures done of the boys. These will embarrass them for decades to come! The guy was very good if not a little over assertive with both sitters and guardians! I suppose you need to be and he did a good job.
Back to Woolacombe for another game of Pirate Golf and dinner back at the Red Barn. This place is growing on me - the food is plentiful and good, it’s reasonably priced, the people are nice and, considering it’s so busy, they seem very efficient. Ice creams all round and then back to Brunnehilda.
Charlie didn’t want to sleep in Isabella tonight so Kim and I had a manic 30 mins doing some packing up prep to make tomorrow morning just a little less stress full!
I’ll do a summary of the Damage Barton site tomorrow but in the meantime I thought I would summarise the highs and lows of our caravanning week.
Good - we got Brunnehilda set up safely and easily on quite a fierce slope.
Bad - I wasn’t happy with how Isabella. looked - not as tight as I would have liked.
Good - the awning light and carpet are great - good buys.
Bad - the inner tent and blow up mattress were a disappointment.
Good - we managed well with all 5 of us inside overnight. Not bad in a 3 berth!
Good - we slept in Isabella for the first time. Even in a gale force wind she stood firm!
