Last day (for us) & Handover of Brunnehilda to Thom & Rach - 9th Dec ‘19

A strange day today - were going home without Brunnehilda!

A lovely winter’s day again today ... rather cold but lots of busts of blue sky and sun with no horrible rain around to dampen spirits.

Kim tidied the van up and I emptied and filled stuff ready for the baton to be handed over ...
Thom and Rach arrived at about 12.15.  We gave them a quick tour round of Brunnehilda and set off to show them the walk over the Great Park to town.


It was a lovely afternoon and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed their run in the mud!

A brief lentil and rice lunch on the Market - courtesy of the same folks that came to the campsite on Friday - Cotswold Made. We left T&R at Waitrose as we hit the Fosse Way at about 1.45 - leaving us 1 3/4 hrs to get to West Haddon and pick up the Twinnies.


It was a good run, making it with 2 mins to spare. With no Brunnehilda in tow we could afford for the right foot to go down!

It feels odd leaving Brunnehilda in someone else’s hands - no matter how capable!
We go back down the Fosse on Thursday morning to help pack her up and get her back to Whilton.

Cirencester Park Caravan Club Site
Pros:
1) Superb position - gorgeous 30 minute walk thru Park to town
2) Due to lack of winter foliage, we did get ourselves a nice view across the Park
3) Friendly enough staff
4) Spotless toilets and showers
5) Smashing visiting takeaway food van on Friday night
6) Good 4G
Cons:
1) Extended and inconvenient toilet shut times - 10.30 to 12
2) Wet and muddy
3) Friendly determination to have you park “their way”
4) Chemical toilet disposal a real trek away
5) Felt cramped when full but a bit desolate when empty
