Decided to take a trip to Crawley, to give Eevie an airing and visit Evans Cycles for security for our new E bikes. Left Hawkinge 1230hrs, used rural roads and arrived at Gatwick CC site 1415. Set Eevie up then the bikes.
We had used the bikes at home, but this was the first time in the van. Cycled to Evans, bought 2 Sold Secure Gold standard locks (to comply with Insurance). Then cycled back to site in the dark, and rush hour. Traffic was awful and roundabouts a nightmare. Just spent the evening with food, beer and tv.
November 4th.
Woke after a good nights sleep. Although Gatwicks runway is across the road aircraft noise did not disturb us. After breakfast we cycled to Crawley town centre, this was much better, quieter roads and good cycle paths. Secured the bikes,
as required by insurers. The photo is evidence that we had should the worst happen. Strolled around and found it quite run down with lots of empty shops. Had a coffee, bought a few bits for Teeny Weeny World, then provisions before cycling back. Back in Eevie I used Flight Radar on my I pad, as the planes took of I checked where they were going, (sad or what?).
Similar evening to tha last.
November 5th.
Left site at 1000hrs, headed for Margate where we had a dolls house to pick up for Teeny Weeny World. Arrived as arranged at 1300hrs, after a snack in Tescos. Then to our dismay it was to big to get through Eevies doors, rearranged to return Sunday with a van. Back to Hawkinge unload then home by 1615.
