We have been away since France, but for some unknown reason I didn't blog it. It was in September and was a very muddy experience at Sumners Pond. When we booked they told us that only grass pitches would be available and because it had been quite dry all summer we thought it would be okay. Ha bloody ha, that week it rained most of the week and we ended up parking on a blinkin bog! We put up our porch awning and this time it went up easily no wonky tubes. In no time the awning carpet was covered in mud, so much so we had to bring it home and hose it down. It was a shame really because we'd always liked Sumners but it has become very popular with young families - I don't have a problem with children at all, it's the parents - why oh why do they have to yell from their caravans, why not just walk the few extra paces and quietly tell your kids "tea's ready"?
Alderstead Heath
We found this little C&MHC site googling sites in the area. For weekends we prefer to stay south of the M25 so that we don't upset all the M25 commuters trying to get home on a Friday..... not really it's so that we can avoid all the nutters trying to get home on a Friday! Alderstead Heath is a lovely campsite, quite big but partitioned by rows of trees with lovely wide gaps between the pitches. To be honest, we didn't really explore too much as the weekend has been very wet and windy and winter is on it's way. However, we liked the feel of the place and will certainly go back. It's just down the road from us so perfect for a weekend getaway.
That's it..... short and sweet.
