Pitched up site very quiet caught the ferry boat into town. In the evening decided to eat in the restaurant as it was OK last time, BIG mistake new management !!!! Fish n chips M had 2 egg chips and Honey ham £24 asked for large chips got french fries mushy peas cold and a compulsory service charge Never again, I think this site has now reached its sell by date and we will find another next time in the area. Shower the coldest since Morocco 4 years ago. And we do an average of 70 campsites a year ??!!

Caught the first ferry into town (Usually 2 an hour) as it is raining we decided to go the the cinema to See the new Avengers film GREAT. Lovely cinema with reclining seats. Came back to catch the ferry and had to wait 45 mins. as they had reduced the service to 1 an hour while we were in town…. we don’t seem to be having a good time here SO CAMPERS BEWARE at Riverside.

Last day here before we move north again, Maureen bumped into a friend from Harrogate in town this morning. To Finnish on a positive note about this campsite the 3 boatmen on the ferries to town are Fab well done to them.
Wow had a walk up to the Car boot sale at Cheddar ! never seen one as big as this and a local said wait while summer to see how BIG it gets oh! and leave town before 1100 if you need to go some place. Moving day going north a bit.
Great journey up to Cheltenham great campsite Adults Only. Bus into Cheltenham and walk about. The picture above is the clock in the Regents Shopping Arcade plays I’am forever blowing bubbles and Bubbles come out of the fishes mouth when the clock chimes the hour (Cute)
Really interesting drive up to Cheddar on small roads. A bonus was arriving with a drive down the gorge luckily it was open as it was closed the day before due to a body being found on a ledge. Walked around the village and up the gorge and sat watching climbers a lovely day.
