We left home about 7:15 and we're all hooked up and on the road by about 8.15. After about an hour or so, we stopped for breakfast at the Turf Hotel Toby Carvery, in Norton Canes, not far from the A38. We then drove all the way non-stop and arrived about 2:15.
We were met on arrival by site owner Sue, who showed us round and bought us tea and coffee and a lovely slice of lemon drizzle cake. A nice little site with basic, but clean facilities. TV reception was reasonable and although we had a good mobile signal, connection to the internet was not good. They have their own small Tavern on site with games room with pool table and dart board and best of all Stowford Press Cider.
It took a bit longer that usual to set up the awning because I fitted some Eyelets to the groundsheet, before a quick trip to Tesco, about 5 minutes down the road for some shopping. It started to rain when we got back from Tesco and pretty much set in for the night.
We had Salmon and salad for tea.
About 9pm we had a walk 100 yards or so to the Greenore Tavern to sample a couple of pints of Stowford Press. There was a very warm and friendly atmosphere and we were made very welcome by Sue and her husband Dave. We had a very pleasant evening and left about 11:30 for bed.
