Sun: A smooth relaxed pack-up at Beechwood and we were underway to our next destination, Bridlington. A straight forward route, albeit a bit of a twisty one and we arrived at the site and joined the queue, the longest queue we’ve ever encountered at a campsite! There must have been 10-12 units in front of us, but the wardens worked swiftly and we were soon in. We opted for the new section of the site which is more open. We found a nice pitch which offered good sun opportunities most of the day and quickly set-up. Weather was very hot and humid. Feeling a little hungry we had a late breakfast on the Cadac and then relaxed for the rest of the day,
Mon: Weather still good so we decided to walk the promenade of Bridlington. We parked in the North Beech carpark and walked to town centre from there. What a lovely place it is, it reminded me of Cleethorpes a little bit, very well kept and a nice offering of attractions to keep everyone entertained. We plan to go back later in the week and maybe make more of the attractions, but for today we settled on a coffee and some chips by the sea. Following this, we returned back to the site. I made a little outing to Tesco to pick up a magazine and then we relaxed for the rest of the day.
Tue: We took a trip info Flamborough today, to visit the lighthouse and to see the ‘Drinking Dinosaur’. All very pleasant and very busy.
Wed: The weather has turned, so we spent the day in the ‘van.
Thu: Another trip to North Beach was in order, to sample the model village there and also to get onto the pirate ship! We did both, even though the weather was a little windy and overcast. The Bondville model village was first on the agenda. This is accessed straight from the car park and is quite modest in size. But hosts a cafe and all day access with the entrance fee. We then strolled down to the harbour and took a trip on the pirate ship. This is a short 10 minute trip along the coastline of Bridlington in an open sail ship type boat, but engine driven! Following this, we’re back at the campsite for the rest of the day.
Fri: As usual, last day of the holiday and we spent it onsite. Weather was back to being very hot again, so little bouts outside and then even more inside! Filled up with fuel ready for the return journey tomorrow.
Sat: Usual pack-up routine, all went to plan. The only hick-up was that there was an almighty queue at Weatherby services, so we didn’t stop there and continued on without a break 🙁
