New Forest Centenary CAMC Site..... continued....

Thursday, 30th July 2020

New Forest Centenary CAMC Site (N50 47'11" W1 42'24")

A beautiful summers day, blue skies and 23C.

Kathleen is nursing her cuts and bruises, from yesterdays bicycle incident.

I am on "looking after duty", supplying hot/cold drinks, as required, food, ice cream and generally waiting on her hand and foot.

Another super summers day, forecast for 27C today.

Kathleen still not up to walking or cycling far.

A shopping trip to Bransgore, by bicycle for me, essential supplies, wine for me, and Paracetemol for Kathleen.

Eighty miles, fortunately the traffic going in our direction (basically, North) is just heavy, going South towards the coast whole sections of the M27 and M3 are at a standstill. We arrive at The White Hart, Holyport near Maidenhead (N51.485633, W0.718448), by lunch time.

This is a pub stopover, from searchforsites website. They allow Motorhomes to stop over, in their carpark. If you make use of the pub (ie buy drinks, meal), it is free, if not, there may be a charge, not sure about that.

The carpark is level and good quality hard standing (Tarmac). We visited shortly after Covid Lockdown, when restrictions still in place, fairly quiet, not sure if it is always so.

This is yet another possibility for visits to Gary and Susana (not forgetting Gabriel and Salma). They live about 3.8 miles away. Windsor area is difficult to find stop overs, or, even sites, so, this is a welcome addition to our list.

The afternoon is spent visiting the grandchildren (Gabriel and Salma), in the evening we all eat at the White Hart.

Sunday 2nd August 2020

An early start, Gary and Gabriel come to along to see us off, which is very nice of them. 

Away, just shortly after 08:00. M4 Eastbound is closed for road works, so, a detour through Slough, but, otherwise an uneventful 280 miles.

A slight detour into Tadcaster to have a Sunday Lunch at the Coach and Horses. It is right next to the bus station, and there is free parking adjacent. Food and service, good, but, pub not quite so good, being next to the bus station is a clue.






Thankfully, I am not returning to an out of control garden, thanks to Daughter Claire, it is as good as the day I left it ;)
