Cheddar Caravan Club Site

Sunday, 19th July 2020



An early start (07:30), on a cool but dry and sunny morning.

317 miles, uneventful miles, with only one small set of road works with 50mph limit, and no contra-flows, I think that is a record for my lifetime driving experiences in the UK!

Cheddar Caravan Club Site (N51.2719, W2.77568) is small, but pleasant, and, in walking distance of the village of Cheddar.

It is approximately 15:00 when we arrive, so, just sitting in the sun today.

A very rare admission from Kathleen. I am always blamed for any mess, in the house, or in the motorhome, crumbs, grit, gravel, bits of grass, etc etc, all down to me. Yesterday, Kathleen has been hoovering the whole van, using her Dyson cordless, which I very generously bought for her. Today, there was debris in the cab, bits of grass etc. It turned out, it came from Kathleen's trainers, and, more importantly, she admitted it! First time in 33 years ;)

Dry and sunny start to the day.

We decide to do the Cycle ride which is described on the CAMC Website, ie, Cheddar to Yatton.  


The route is called "The Strawberry Line", and, the information sheet says it follows the route of a former railway line. 

This implies a fairly flat ride. 

Well, the former railway line bits are reasonably flat (and well surfaced), but, there are gaps in the former railway line, and, these are rather hilly! 

Just over 9 miles each way, according to the information sheet, although we clock up just over 23 miles, including diversions for coffee and cake etc.

But, it all accomplished without complaint, and, today, thank goodness, no punctures.

Picnic lunch in Yatton, followed by well earned coffee and cake.
