Hatton Country World

Another possible summer camp location. Area is ideal but the actual camping area although staff flexible is not ideal.

Walked to the pub got lost, nice meal not spectacular but not run of the mill either.

The garden centre and shops were interesting bought a succulent garden container for Lorna’s birthday and had a stroll round the other shops, interesting sweet shop, gin bar, bike shop and some jewellery places. The pool looked inviting but to be honest the opening times and access was so confusing just ignored it. If young kids then a great polace to go as there is a Playgound adventure world I think the main attraction.

Facilities are basic so EHU and water and waste although long hose required. The WC is in the shopping area and closed evening overnight.

Blackpool

Left on the Friday to stay at Blackpool for a Ceilah at the Tower ballroom with the Vatasay boys.

Sandra asked if we could pick up a TV on the way, so popped to Oakworth Steve and house.

Arrived at Hampton Road Social club around 16:00, van is disgusting very grubby now.

New had booked a table at Wetherspoons for 11 people so fish and chips and then popped into the Social club.

Day 2

Up at night briefly then back up at about 8:30. Had breakfast at the Social club, all cooked to order s decent breakfast for 4.50 including tea toast.

Took tram to the Tower to have a look around. Very very windy, all the piers closed, shopping area tired. Wetherspoons for a coffee and biscuit.

Back to van for a rest cleanup and G&Ts. Then back onto tram and into the Tower ballroom, for the night.

Tressle tables.

The dancing was actually really good thoroughly enjoyed it, Vatasay boys were ok but sound system was crap.

Interval Scottish dancing was not to my tastes. Back home at midnight, via tram.

Pinar San José Camping, Barbate

Campsite for the weekend, tightish sandy pitches to get on and lots of trees all quite high.

Nice and empty mid afternoon but filled up late afternoon with Spanish for the weekend.

Cooked sausages with the Gnocchi and salad. Used the briefcase and the Barbie plate, used cadac lid to cool cooking, Sadly briefcase does not have good flame control.

Vila Real de Santo António, 13 Avenida da República

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/12146/Nice area shops and affordable restaurants, repair and maintenance here has focus.

Travels from Faro airport, stopped off at a number of parking places none really appealed so we headed into VRS to Antonio. Ok site would be lovely if sunny but overcast and a nut cold 18c.

Had an issue filling with gas but attendant was able to assist although nit happy about it.

Wandered into town and found a ironmongery shop that sold Cortina de Porte, so we bought 2 of them 33€ each.

Met the couple who we had seen at the airport stop, the have been full-time since 2002. No plans to stop, respect.
