First the camper failed it's MOT when we came back fom Cornwall in July, then after repairs the camshaft packed up so we ended up with a full engine rebuild and empty pockets. This all happened in the first week of September just before we were due to go back down to Henry's campsite at the Lizard and then stopover at the Forest of Dean on the way back.
The owner of Henry's had said to us that they usally got good weather in September so we thought we'd give it a go after the wet and windy July trip. Mum came up with the idea of us hiring a campervan and we managed to get one for 3 nights from Tavistock in Devon. Here's a view of Tavistock from Dartmoor and me picking up Ruby the camper...
Here we are at Henry's Campsite. Ruby looked very pretty but staying in a bay window T2 was a shock to the system as it was SO SMALL inside and not much fun for Gordon to drive. Looked good though...
A day at Kynance Cove...
Seeing as our week long holiday was cut short due to not having a campervan we couldn't go on to the Forest of Dean as planned. So we stopped off at Matt & Pip's then chose to go and have a look at Sidmouth. It was scorching hot and really busy. We went tot he TIC and they booked us into one of the last available rooms in Sidmouth. A christian hotel that felt more like a retirement home. All fun and games for us as usual! Sidmouth was very pretty, there was a great walk along a path cut out of the cliffs. We'd love to go back for a longer visit one day.
