Woodhall Spa Camping and Caravan Club Site and Home

Monday, 9th July 2018

The day begins cloudy, and, for once, in many days, indeed weeks, does not turn out to be sunny. Warm, humid and looking as if it is going to thunder, but, nothing happens!

Time to leave Sandringham.


We drive the 56 miles (not a dual carriageway in site) to Woodhall Spa Camping and Caravan Club Site (N53 9'11" W0 10'9").

Once a wartime RAF and Army Camp, now a campsite.

Once settled in, we cycle into Woodhall Spa village. 

It is like stepping back into the 1940's ! Indeed, there was a "1940's re-enactment" over the weekend we are told. They would not have to do much "re-enacting"! Very quaint.

Woodhall Spa is famous for it's association with RAF 617 Squadron (the Dam Busters) of WW2 fame. We knew nothing of this of course, all credit to Google and Wikipedia!

The day starts cloudy, but, but lunch time, it is sunny, and a rather hot 24C.

We cycle to Horncastle and back, just over 11 miles.

Horncastle is another place which is like stepping back 50 years. 

Very nice to see, hardly a National chain present (Tesco and Coop being the only ones I spot). Many small independent retailers populate the high street, however, as is the way with just about every high street throughout the UK, there is a big Charity Shop presence, never a good sign!

We have a coffee, and, I have a piece of excellent fruit cake, paid for by Kathleen. Otherwise, an unremarkable place. Very pleasant cycle ride however.

Yet again, the day begins cloudy, but, no rain, and, by mid-afternoon, it is yet another sunny and hot day.

Home, via a cross country route, taking in the impressive Humber Bridge.
