Below is a sign that all campsites should display it would make it so the staff think we are helping rather than telling them they are not doing there jobs properly.

17 May 2019 Cheddar
Last day at Cheddar, a slight rain in the air so a walk up to Costa Coffee I have had 3 Coffee’s here and everyone tasted different so we will try a small independent tomorrow before we leave. One peculiar thing that happened at this campsite that we have never seen before in 11 years of travel was people that had arrived early by one hour not a good idea at this site. A car and caravan arrived followed by a small VW T5 size van that the warden sent away after he left he booked the car and caravan in???? and a few others that arrived before 1300 the van arrived back at 1315 poor chap if only he knew.!!!
A great Picture
18 May 2019 Salisbury.
Leaving day so a walk up into town had a lovely coffee at Cheddar Gorge coffee shop .
A good journey as far as the roundabout near Stonehenge then Boom wall to wall cars. Arrived at about 1330 then went into Salisbury for cake and coffee. Then back to do some washing. I wish the camping and Caravan club would wash the toilet block mops somewhere else other than in the site washing machine its filthy when they have finished. Asked wardens about bus times to Salisbury due to a slow and bad internet connection and he did not know???
This Campsite has the worst Internet in Europe someone should tell the Camping and Caravanning Club that FREE anything never works? Most people have 2 possibly 3 devices per caravan? Motorhome so on a site with 100 pitches 200 + will drag the Bps down to maybe 5Bps so no internet for anyone!!!!
Had a late evening walk up to The Sarum.
A proper Camping Car Below
