Dorset

We have been away again in the van
Staying along the Jurassic coast
 The views are fantastic
 Lulworth Cove












We stayed near Osmington Mills for two nights, we had planned to stay for 3 nights, but the rain fore caste for Saturday night and Sunday morning changed our minds. We were high on the hill with a great view of the coastline below.
The walk to the coast and Smugglers Arms was all down hill, so a much longer walk back. Hubby is now looking for a good cycle rack for the back of the van so we can get further.
We left Saturday mid morning and drove to Lulworth cove, we spent a few hours walking around and catching wonderful photo's, above is just a few of the many we took.
It was really busy, loads of people on and in the water. The colours of the water reflected the sky, it was very pretty. The clouds broke and the day was lovely.
We arrived home late afternoon, time to sort the van, clean the floor and leave it tidy for the next time.
We were warm snug and dry the whole time, early Saturday morning there was a bad storm,  Our new cooking gas rings worked well, we do take home made meals which we heat up, with fresh cooked veg. We also purchased a small toaster which was very useful. Again we brought back loads of food, our little fridge holds more than we require, I tend to fill it, so we don't have to worry about finding a shop. I must remember to pack a pair of scissors, we could also use a small clothes airier, so we can dry our towels after showing.
We both felt the trip was good, no need for fuel as there tank was 3/4 full and still is half full.
I can't wait until next spring when we will be planning longer trips.

  4. Great pics you captured of Lulworth, the blue in the water really is amazing... I remember our trip there a couple of years ago. Such a lovely coatline, so much to see and do along it.

  8. Love Dorset and can't wait to be a motorhomer next Spring. We're missing our caravan very much but have splashed out on a short break in the Lakes next week. So excited! Catriona

  9. Hmm, I have cliff envy! Even though we live very near the coast it isn't a particularly "interesting" one.

    You say you're looking forward to next Spring - does that mean you are not planning on using the van much over winter?
