Hovercraft from Rhyl used to come in somewhere near the war time dragons teeth anti landing blocks not very far to there. I imagine they have been taken away just like the hovercraft. I remember one day the Hovercraft bursting into flames from one of the engines. The police warned people to get behind the Dragons Teeth but many fled along with my young brother. Eventually we found him attached to a very tall policeman near to Morton Station!
When is the next one?
Sorry jump on this thread, but is that a funky leisure rail and the debus sail/tarp?View attachment 276883First time away this year! It’s been too long!
Stop at reculver tower before heading to Canterbury C&CC site. Fog on the Motorway cleared just before we arrived at the coast but bitterly cold wind. Nice on the site (a bit of road noise but close to city centre so to be expected). Set up and ready for walk to todays pub

Just got back from the first expedition of the year, just a weekend to Chester Zoo accompanied by granddaughter and her 3 year old cousin. Picked up granddaughter from school on Friday and drove straight to C&MC site at Chester Fairoaks. Nice little site, well organised as usual with the club, very clean and tidy, very friendly welcome from the staff. We picked a pitch directly between the two most important site features, the play area and the toilet block.
Saturday morning we disconnected from the awning and drove the 10 minutes to the zoo. The car park staff there decided that the swb T6 was a big vehicle, so directed us to the overflow car park where vans and buses park up which was great as this is located right next to the zoo entrance. Must be the fixed high top that fooled them...
A great day was had in the zoo, we looked into many enclosures and saw grass, bushes and rocks. They really need to work on persuading animals to walk around in the open. Fortunately animals were discovered in other enclosures, but sadly there was a huge queue for the bat house (one of my favourites) so we missed that. The new African Savannah area was very good, decent wide open spaces for the inhabitants to roam around.
Lots of fun activity areas for the youngsters too. It's a huge place to walk around though and both children were exhausted by mid afternoon so we left a couple of hours before closing time and headed to the shops for some essential supplies followed by an excellent meal at The Mill at Upton. Then a 10 minute drive back to the campsite where I discovered that I am getting much better at re-docking with the awning. Kids slept solidly all night but still woke before 7am. While wife and I went about dismantling everything ready for departure, the children could be seen sat at the folding table in front of the van trying to sell our possessions to any passing campers. Fortunately they had no takers.
Uneventful trip home, both youngsters returned to their mothers, feeling very tired now.

Caravanning at its best!Spent the day and Saturday night at a lovely site in Hornsea, right near the beach. Whilst we were there, this came in on a trailer…. Good way to improve reliability

Norfolk coast for a few days at one of our usual sites at Weybourne, lovely little site, adults only, quiet albeit a little road noise. £23 pn no elec and no showers. Basic facilities but more than adequate. Fantastic walks from site, lots to do nearby. Struck gold with the weather too!
