We fast tracked in via a warden outside? Go figure that one. Then onto the new section of the site and found a nice pitch. Site was quite full already, but maybe a few will be going tomorrow. Setup was really quick as only a few things were actually packed away. Soon we were enjoying some cooler weather and the start of our second week of our summer holiday.
Sun: Early doors, great weather, perfect skies. I took a wander around the site and snapped some photos. They always look better with a blue sky! Then, following breakfast, we picked up some shopping from Tesco’s to top up supplies. Plenty of units have left today, so the site is a lot quieter.
Mon: Good weather again, so we headed off to the walk along the promenade of Bridlington. We parked in the Sewerby car park and then walked along into the town. It really is a lovely place, very clean and welcoming. In the harbour/town we stopped for a coffee and then returned back to the car park via the ‘Land Train’. This is a great feature and is a joy to aid in the adventure of travelling around the town and beaches.
Tue: Not a very good start weather wise, but regardless we decided to push on and visit the seaside town of Hornsea. This was a shortish drive south from Bridlington. There’s not much there to be honest, so we didn’t spend much time here. But we did enjoy a walk along the promenade and a coffee in the Hornsea Hub.
Wed: A pleasant start to the day. Had a coffee and a read outside as I normally do and then brought the laptop outside onto the table, to enjoy some alfresco admin! This worked well and will be something I’ll do more of in the future. Following breakfast we took a trip out to the South promenade, which we didn’t get to last time we were here. Again it’s a very nice place, a pleasant walk along the promenade. As usual, there are plenty of shops, cafes and toilets – all well kept, tidy and clean. This is Bridlington as a whole though, a well kept, active town. The council do a good job here from our perspective.
Thu: A visit to Danes Dyke today. This is just a 5 minute drive up the road from the campsite. It’s accessed via a single track (1 way), which then leads to the car park. From here you have access to walks and the beach itself. We did the latter, although it was quite a steep descent down. On the beach there are rocks a plentiful, with tremendous views across to Bridlington and Flamborough. We wandered the beach a while and then returned back to the car park, slowly up hill. A quick detour following this to fill up at Tesco’s, ready for the return journey tomorrow.
Fri: As usual, a final relax-on-site day. We cleaned the ‘van interior and then chilled for the rest of the day.
Sat: More good weather, pack-up and return journey home was fine. Wetherby was full, but we were advised to park in with the lorries by the attendant, so at least we got a break! It’s been a great week, we really enjoy Bridlington. The weather has been great over the past two weeks, in fact a little too hot sometimes. Indeed, Europe is suffering a heatwave at the moment. Looking forward to the next visit to the Yorkshire Riviera sometime in the not too distant future.
