Tregurrian camping and caravan club site is clean, well kept
and located on the clifftops above the wonderful Watergate Bay. A small site
split in two with hard standings at the start and grass pitches at the rear, it
has this season received an upgrade. New hard standings, new roads around the
site, new drainage and new hosts. The welcome from Jackie and Ian, site hosts,
was warm, friendly and made the start to our Cornish adventure relaxed. Good
humour, smiles, a tour of the site and then a personal lesson with patient
instruction on how to reverse a caravan onto a pitch. A first for me, a man normally quick to use the motor mover. After several false starts, with Ian’s patient
instruction, I did get the caravan in the right place. Later he rescued us when we hadn’t quite got
the electric supply to the van sorted. Such extraordinary hospitality from such
lovely hosts, we weren’t expecting. With
views out to sea, cows and fields surrounding us, the roar of surf from
Watergate bay at night and early morning birdsong from the low stone
wall/hawthorn hedgerows; with a view of the setting sun from the front
window each evening, it is a lovely location.
Of course, in westerly winds, it is pretty exposed as well.
The Kampa rally 200 inflatable awning almost took off several times Tuesday
night. Pegs were torn out; the limpets attaching the awning to the van side
were ripped off. Some of the inflatable tubes collapsed under the force.
Interesting times!!!
I discovered that adding to our list of boy and girl jobs whilst caravaning (see last year posts), boys jobs now include getting up in the wee hours in the middle of a lashing gale to bang in extra pegs, grapple with an awning throwing a paddy fit and re-positioning the car to act as a windbreak.
To be reprimanded for getting back into bed slightly wet and very cold.......was the final straw!!
