Old School House CL, Terrington St John

 Saturday, 19th September 2020

A pleasant day, 21C and sunny, but, a brisk wind, not that it is terribly important, since we are travelling today..

A leisurely departure, since we have only 42 miles to travel to:

Old School House N52.72121 E0.28103 Church Road, Terrington St. John, Wisbech, Norfolk, PE14 7SA

This CL is more "equipped", in addition to the basics (ie water, waste disposal), there is EHU and Toilet/Shower.

Kathleen is immediately impressed, clean, neat and tidy, Maxine (Max), the owner, is extremely friendly and informative.

Among the snippets of information, from Max, is the nearest pub, The Woolpack, about 1 mile  away, in the village of Terrington St John, along a fairly quiet road, with a footpath, and, even some street lighting! They do meals, we are booked in for Monday. It looks as if Kathleen plans on minimal cooking, this week!

The only complaint, so far, is the CL is not well signposted, at least, not if you are approaching from the A47, which I would imagine, most people would.

It took three passes, even with the aid of the Sat-Nav, to actually spot the "CL" sign, a few yards down a smaller lane.

You need to watch for this small turn off from Church Lane, then, within about 15 metres, watch for the CL sign.

It is an easy turn in, when you know where it is!

But, these are minor issues, the site is excellent, and, Kathleen is happy with the place, so, that is all that matters,

There is an off-licence/convenience store, fish and chip shop, pub, and bus-stop, in the village, approximately 1 mile away.

Our arrival brings the CL to capacity, there are three caravans and a motorhome here when we arrive, so, we make up the "Five".

Sunday, 20th September 2020

A little rain over night, I think, judging from the puddle of water in my outdoor crocks, this morning. 

Full sunshine and 20C today, but, rather windy.

All three caravans leave today, I wonder if it was something we said? So, that leaves just two motorhomes.

Based on Maxine's information of yesterday, we decide to cycle to Walpole St Peter. 

Just over 12 miles of easy cycling, except when cycling into the wind!

 

Terrington St John - Walton St Peter - Walton St Andrew - Walton Marsh - Terrington St John. Sunny and warm 20C, but, windy. 

The recommendation to visit Walpole St Peter, was to look around the church, which, Maxine tells us is rather beautiful. 

It does look to be rather pretty, and, is certainly a very imposing church for such a small place, but, there was a service in progress, so, no looking around. 

A walk through the Church Yard would have been a possibility of course, but, Kathleen's current thinking is, "we are near enough to the graveyard, without visiting them for pleasure", so, we skipped that.

In the course of the day, another three arrivals, two caravans, one motorhome, so, the place is full again, with five vans.
