Saturday 29th
A day of disaster! We drove almost a
hundred miles and could not find a
camp site, the map was misleading and
everyone we asked directed us to
somewhere different and we could not
find any of them. We ended up at Peel
outside Blackpool and went into
Blackpool and saw the Tower. The
Golden Mile was a bitter
disappointment-- It poured with rain --
the illuminations were not on-- and it
seemed like a very second-rate
Southend to us-- very shabby and
seedy, but of course hardly at its best.
We missed the road again coming back
to the camp (drove all round the Air
Port) but landed back in the end at
12.30 and got to bed.
Sunday 30th
The weather was very bad so we
moved on again to Cheshire, again we
had the utmost difficulty in finding a
camp site.-- the one named on the map
no longer exists-- we were directed all
over the county and in the end found a
very pleasant site in Acton Bridge, right
beside the river with very good toilet
facilities but expensive. We met some
very nice people who had toured Wales
and they said there were plenty of sites
there-- so we have have decided to
move on.
