Since having a moho we’ve often debated the pros and cons of
moho vs caravan, which I’m sure many fellow campers have done likewise. On return from France we were exceedingly
lucky to have the opportunity to find out.
Del had been considering changing his car and we got a great deal on
Bill (Bailey) the caravan.
Of course, buying Bill also meant upgrading the car to tow
it with... welcome err .... Ben???
It’s been interesting swapping from Moho to Caravan, first
of all we moved everything from one to t’other which took about 4 hours. Now in Deedee we had a ‘home’ for everything –
this was because everything has to be locked away when you’re on the road or
the noise drives you bloomin barmy! Of
course, Bill has lots and lots of locker space but of course, you have the
luxury of having a car boot as well, it took us a while to actually realise
this. We used to bring Deedee to the
house to load up, this isn’t possible with Bill, we have to go to the campsite
to hook-up; but of course, you load up the car and once in the campsite you can
decant to the caravan.
And so, this brings us to our first weekend away in
Bill. I had arranged to attend a craft
workshop in The Witterings so it seemed an ideal opportunity to also have a
weekend away in Bill. So, here we are at
www.nunningtonfarm.com. The trip down here was great, the new car
handled towing easy peasy and upon arrival at Nunnington Farm we found that
nothing had been broken and all had stayed ‘put’ in Bill. Nunnington Farm is a lovely campsite, great
san facs – and I mean, GREAT! Lovely
children’s playground, animals for the children, local shops, restaurants and
pubs and of course, just down the road from the beach. Two little things to note, the ‘rules’ of
the campsite must be strictly adhered to e.g. no panelled vans and the parking
for the beach is £6.50!!!!
As we’re only here for the weekend we’ve not put up the
awning – oh God that brings back memories...
but mostly it’s been a really lovely time in Bill but I just wish I
could remember where the hell I’ve put Del.....
Sunday
Goodness me it rained during the night, but it actually didn't seem to loud. By the time we were up the sky was starting to go blue albeit very windy. Del cooked his famous 'campers breakfast' - seriously, it really does taste different when you're away from home. One of the nice things about this site is that you do not need to leave until 3pm which is great because you actually get a Sunday, most sites you need to leave by 11am which means up, breakfast and off.
We decided to walk down to the beach, parking at this time of day is £8! Absolutely disgusting I mean - it's a beach! Anyway, we stopped for a nice coffee in the cafe and then wandered back.
Loved this weekend - beats the rat race any day.
