We were there a coupkle of weeks ago. Lovely walk into the town. Make sure you visit Meningate for the last post.
I'd give the pub on the corner next to the meningate (OI) a wide berth though - mega rip off.
Cracking pub just off the square called The Times. Run by a really friendly local guy. Loved it there.

Thanks for that, we had a quick walk over the bridge to find the vet for our dogs treatment. Will make sure I go the the right pub
East Mersea, in a field, on a farm...
On the beach next to the field but a half mile along from our pitch and looking towards Brightlingsea... possibly... did I mention it's sunny but a bit nipply!

Following a valued recommendation @the Times
Another stop on our north trip, now Portmeirion on the North Wales coast. It’s probably most famous as ‘the Village’ in the late ‘60’s ‘The Prisoner’ TV programme but that goes over my head as it was ITV and we were only allowed to watch BBC (LOL). It’s a Baroque style folly village designed and built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis starting in 1925. It’s a bit like a Disneyland for adults!
Some would consider £55 per night for the Van as extortionate. However it’s a spacious secluded site with good facilities and it includes all hours access to the Village and woodland walks (normally £20 per adult just for daytime) and also access to the Village residential facilities like the bar, restaurant and open air pool with towels provided.
Overall we think it’s good value for a few days stopover. And in the Welsh sunshine it’s more like a ‘Costa de Gales [Wales]’.

We recently bought the series box set Danger Man, what a splendid actor he was. Might purchase the prisoner also. I well remember both series when originally on TV. "Be seeing you"
Just dropped the van off to have the following done.
Cambelt
Waterpump
Clutch
Dual mass flywheel
And if he has time
Coilovers
Rear wheel bearing
It's being done out of hours after work, so it'll take a few days.
The van may be for sale within next few weeks, personal reasons

Quantock Hills for a little cycle before collecting my daughter and others following their D of E expedition. Perfect time to use the bike bar (for transportation, not drinking). Had some unexpected visitors when I returned to van.
Exactly a year ago we were in the pitch right behind you, suffering 50mph winds and pouring rain! Even so, it was a fantastic base to 'do' Skye! Loved it!
