Lockdown eases, we are Away!

Sunday, 12th July 2020, Berwick Seaview CAMC Site

After three months, Campsites in England were allowed to re-open on 4th July.

Today, we are off, on what will hopefully be a three week trip around England (Scotland and Wales still have restrictions in place). 

Sixty eight miles, North, an easy journey, traffic light, on what is usually a very busy route, and we arrive at Berwick-upon-Tweed.


Berwick, Seaview CAMC site was the first place we went in our first Motorhome, as total novices, in 2006, fourteen years ago.

Covid-19 "rules" are that departure is strictly by 12 o'clock, and arrivals/check-in from 13:00.

There is not very much parking space in the arrivals area, and, true to form, there are people leaving late, and, people arriving early (including us, 12:45).

The site warden is in good spirits, and begins check-in early, to clear space.

Once parked, we venture out for a stroll, well, a 4 mile exploratory walk, along the promenade, and, then, to investigate where the cycle route begins for tomorrow.

We have a map, and, book with cycle routes (Dana's Father's Day present), Kathleen is keen to do a route called the "Berwick Loop", unaware, I assume that it is 31 miles.

I decide not to enlighten her, so, that is tomorrows plan, weather permitting.

Daughter, Claire, has promised to look after the garden. A little concerned that her main interest seemed to be the possibility of lying in the sun, in the garden, during her Summer Holidays (Claire is a School Teacher). I do hope she will find the time to actually cut the grass.

As usual, I leave it in good order, grass cut, bird feeders filled, and, a photograph to prove the point. ;)
