Friday 31st October- Off we go again

To do the journey from Looe to Weybridge whilst towing makes for a long day on these roads and so we had planned to stop of en route in an area we did not know very well.

Anyway, we got up and would you believe it the sun was shining on a beautiful morning so do we stay or do we go. that is the question, but we decided to do what we had planned or it would muck up some other arrangements.

So we left the site around 0930 and went down the narrow lane praying that a ten ton delivery truck was not on its way and we made it safely back to the main road. Our route took us back to Plymouth, this time paying to cross the Tamar bridge, and then to Exeter and on to Honiton and finally arriving mid afternoon in our last site of the trip called Bingham Grange Touring Park which is is near the town of Bridport.

This site is quite large and also an Adults Only site and has a restaurant and bar, neither iof which we tried, and also the main Loo block had been closed as they were closing the site on the Monday. That's a shame because the other shower block was not so good. We set up in our usual efficient manner and headed down town for a little shopping on Lidl which was packed with shoppers.

We also had a minor problem with the water pump, Noels fault, which partly flooded the van, thank heavens not to much. The water pump stopped working and so a little time was spent trying to find a new one bet when you have poor mobile signal, we were in the middle of the countryside, it does make it difficult. After a lot of hassle we did find a place that sold them but we decided as it was Friday night traffic to forget till tomorrow morning.

So we had a nice dinner as usual of the pasties we had bought in Looe with baked beans, boy don't we eat well.

Then to bed after watching a film
