After sorting out Frank’s bed, SMC replaced the motor on the passenger side, we decided to go away for the weekend.
Set off for Longbeech,New Forest, opposite Ocknell. There is no office at Longbeech so you have to check in at Ocknell, then proceed to Longbeech. Gate is open and not padlocked. Drove down and parked up opposite the last water spot. Lovely Friday evening sun so tested the BBQ and external gas point worked well also used our outside tap to clean stuff afterwards, this was excellent such a simple thing.
First night in van, made up the bed quite painless and comfortable. I slept fitfully, Jacqui slept very well. I woke at about 6, thinking I was on a slope, turns out the slats on my side had come out of their runners, easily out back in but puzzled as to how.
Saturday, short dog walk, breakfast, tea, sorted out some apps (leveller and diary). Then off to Sir Walter Tyrell, pub for pint and chips hopefully all back before it rains.
Walk was much easier less boggy, most of the smaller streams had dried up, toe was sore but ok.
Longbeech
- 2 nights 23.80
- Nothing here just water and waste.
- EE works well, as does 3, used EE.
- Water taps are fitted with high pressure valves to stop contanimated water getting into system. But upshot is you cannot use then with a water hose of 15m, bloody useless, definitely emailling a complaint to CC&C.
