couple of nice spots

Post by janie » Mon Jun 02, 2014 10:27 am

Hi Everyone,

Went away for a few days last weeks. On the first night stayed in the main car park in Westward Ho! £5 for motorhome overnight parking and 24h public toilets opposite - we enjoyed a lovely, quiet, uneventful night, jusy us and a big Dutch motorhome making use of North Devons new 'Aire' style stopovers.

Next couple of nights we stayed on a C&CC site called Lenchways in Evesham - £10 a night with electric hook up (I think £6 without). The owners were brilliant. Very friendly (they even loaned us a hook up extension lead so that we could move further away from our only neighbours in the field). The site has water, 2 hook ups and chemical waste disposal ;point but no other facilities so ytou have to be pretty self-sufficient. We had a lovely time and I'd recommend it if you're a C&CC member.

Is that the car park beyond the static parks, where the ghostly house is?

At last, a council with a bit of sense. =D>

That's why there were motorhomes in the car park at Appledore! Cool!

Hi
Well, that's stupendous, as you say, Bob...Organised, and easily policed rather than errant campers dotting the streets...PLUS a few extra quid in the council's kitty!
Cheers

As far as I know Blackpool was also piloting an 'aires' scheme in Lytham St. Annes if anyone further north wants to check it out.
