Plymouth and Weymouth, August 2016.

July 31st.

Off to Plymouth again. Left storage 0945hrs. Journey has become routine. M20, M26, M25, M3, A303, A30, M5, A38. Usual delays on M25 at Jctn 11 and A303 at Stonehenge. Otherwise uneventful, arrived "Dolbeare Park" 1645hrs.


Was a nice evening, so we ate outside, cooking on the "Cobb".


Nice to unwind after the monotonous journey. Then a bit of TV and bed.

August 1st.

Up bright and early, dull day, didn't matter as we were off to the wholesaler, "Streets Ahead" to pick up stock for Teeny Weeny World. Spent the usual 4hrs in the warehouse, then to Sainsburys for fuel and provisions before returning to "Dolbeare Park" Dullness had turned to rain so evening inside Eevie.

August 2nd.

It had rained all night, but brighter this morning. Packed up and left site 1000hrs. Usual route to Honiton then more rural and interesting to "Crossways CC Site". Arrived at 1500hrs.


Took a walk to the station to check the timetable, crossed the road to the pub only to find it didn't open til 6. What a bummer, back to Eevie and had our refreshments from our own stock. Then we had our showers, meal and relaxed. I would point out that this site has water free composting WCs. Don't be put off, they are clean and odourless.



August 3rd.

Nice bright sunny day, caught the 1040hrs train to Weymouth.


Takes about 30 minutes. Took a walk to the "Brewers Quay" antique centre. Didn't find anything for us this time, well worth a look though. Then back into the High Street,


and the charity shops. Still didn't find anything for us. Then back to the harbour area for a pub lunch.


Finally we settled on the "Swan Inn", where we had an excellent lunch. Did the shops on the way back to the station, had a coffee in a little cafe opposite, then the train back. Arrived on site 1640hrs. Didn't need a meal so just relaxed, a few drinks and nibbles sufficed.

August 4th.

Up, packed and on our way by 0900hrs, arrived back at storage 1300hrs. Another pleasant trip.
