Awaycation Autumn 2024 - Overnights

Image
Today I have been looking again at the overnight stops between Calais and Alcossebre. Once again using the page map inside the front cover of the 2020 Big Easy Read Atlas of France and the 12" ruler. Towns are unlikely to have moved much in four years... Accuracy can be checked using Google Maps. Currently I have identified four stops with the last one being the municipal aire at St Cyprien Plage "Flot Bleu". Google Maps put this as 435kms to the apartment. That's the longest day but as we can't check-in until 4pm it shouldn't be a problem. So at the moment I am looking at a first stop at our old friend Camping-Car Park at Formerie. Google shows this to be around 172kms from Calais Port. To vary the route,  and also a TomTom Max suggestion, this time we are away from the N154 and N10.  The next stop looks to be around Beaulieu sur Loire. It's around 302 Kms. I looked at a few around to the south of Clermont Ferrand but there were few sites that appealed.

The Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show

The show is a little under two weeks away and I still have to fix the fresh water drain that fell off at Pegasus Bridge. I have finally got a replacement tap and hopefully fitting it won't be a problem. Of course it will be!! On the way back we will probably meet up with Claire's sister again. Possibly at Snape again. I have been looking at a CL we have stayed at before at Waterpump CL. It's not far from her sister's and we have stayed there a couple of times before.  It's £20 per night with hard standing and EHU. We can then travel back home on the Tuesday morning. https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/certificated-locations/england/suffolk/framlingham/waterpump-cl/

Staycation 2024 - Norfolk

We have already booked two nights at the Caravan Club site in Cromer and I was looking to extend the trip. We have seen a few vlogs that have stayed at Pinewoods site at Wells Next the Sea. I had a look and it's open when we are there in Norfolk. So I booked a night to see what it's like!  A chance to enjoy fish and chips from the chippy in the village. Thanks to The Frenchies YouTube channel we see quite a few Suffolk and Norfolk sites and CL's. https://youtube.com/@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel So we have to hope the March weather is going to be good!!
