27 – 28 May 2017 Southport

Travelled up from Stratford in busy road conditions but managed a stop over with friends in Manchester. What a wonderful lunch we had a 10 Star experience a highlight of my life stopping to see these friends XXX

An unusual visit to Southport the notice board on the campsite said tide in 1200 we thought what a cruel joke as we have (and Other people we have spoken to) have never seen the sea here ever!

Longer journey down than anticipated with heavy traffic. Arrived after lunch, walked into town to see the first of the family, Barbara and Paul, and had a walk-about. Next day Maureen had a run to the Knill monument, twice, to put distance in, Darian walked up. Lovely display of flowers up there.

Caught the campsite bus into town to meet up with everyone to go for a meal in the evening.

Walk to Carbis Bay for coffee Sunday morning then back into town for the Food Market on Porthminster Beach – just our cup of tea so to speak, yum yum.

Monday morning Sandra and Peter picked us up to go out for the day. Went to see the Minack Theatre which was amazing. Also looked around the Telegraph Museum which was really interesting then onto Mousehole for lunch. Sandra, who loves following our travels, tried to impress us hoping for a job with ‘Get You Lost Tours’ took us down a path into someone’s garden! Sorry Sandra not good enough, that is not lost enough. Thanks for a lovely day.
