Good news - no BBIs today (Ben Based Incidents!) A quiet night although, like all nights before a trip, I had a restless night - awake at 4am! I think it’s physiological, as I’m neither anxious nor excited about the journeys?! Weird!
Travel day today and the weather has changed. It’s not so mild and a wind has gotten up.
An early start today - up and at it at 8.30am. Dog walk and quick breakfast before taking down Bella, packing up and getting Brunnehilda stripped and ready to go.
We left at about 11.10am - 10 minutes after the official leave time! The journey to Southport took about 1 3/4 hours. We went over the new (ish) Mersey bridge at Runcorn as we weren’t sure how easy the Mersey tunnel would be with Brunnehilda?
We arrived at 2 and were eating soup and toast by 3pm! The site is full and not particularly nice. Although it’s very handily placed for walking into town and the beach so there are lots of “motor-homers” here.
The dogs were gagging for their daily beach walk so we headed to Ainsdale. We walked down the huge beach towards Southport - then walked back again. The tide was out so we didn’t get as far as the waters edge - which Tilly was not too happy about!
It was getting dark when we got back to the car so we headed straight off to Gog’s (Kim’s mum) new flat in Formby. It was Burns Night so very appropriate that Jill and Russ (Kim’s sister & husband) came round for haggis, neeps and tatties.
Back home to Brunnehilda for an episode of The Wire and then bed!
