Plymouth, New Forest. November 2015

November 15th.

Trip to Plymouth yet again. Needed to collect more stock from Streets Ahead our wholesaler. Drive so familiar now it's just a chore. Nevertheless we completed it in good time without problems. Arrived Riverside Park 1530hrs. 


Topped up with water then to our pitch and relax for the evening.

November 16th.

Breakfast then to the wholesaler for stock. Spent the usual 4 hours in the warehouse, then to Sainsburys for fuel and provisions. Back to Riverside and started pricing the stock, before settling down for the night.

November 17th.

Left site 1000hrs headed for the New Forest and "Sandy Balls". Took our usual rural route arriving on site 1300hrs. After pitching up we took a walk to the "Woodside Inn" for a drink.


Very nice beer but a bit overpriced. Then back to Eevie and more pricing of the stock. Dinner, tv then bed.

November 18th.

After our breakfast I prepared our new bikes for a run.

We'd used them at Gatwick as previously written, but that was mainly flat. Now we were going into Fordingbridge, only 2.5 miles but in the valley, so the return would be uphill all the way. Off we set, of course downhill all the way so no test of the bikes. Had a look around,


bought some bits and pieces. Had a coffee and cake, then back to the site. Brilliant, the bikes made the hill non existant. So now we had mobility when touring without the need to move Eevie. Lazed the late afternoon, Hazel watching Tipping Point, she likes it, I can't stand it, but each to their own, I watch things she doesn't like as well. Quiet evening before turning in.

November 19th.

Up and away, followed the coastal route, home and settled by 1500hrs.
