7th June - Southampton to Pembroke
Set off around ten, after getting Hymie ready: water, thetford, usual list of items to pack – we’re getting quite expert at this.
First stop petrol and just as I’m pulling away from the pump some dozy git reverses into the pump in front of me and makes it really difficult for me to get out.
Anyhoo – pretty uneventful 4 and a bit hour journey to Wales – over the Severn Bridge and we could be paying £10.90 or even £19 but the lady charges us for a car and we end up paying only £5.40.
Go past Newport and Cardiff and carry on the M4 until it runs out; then it’s the A40 and then another road until we turn off left down a ‘single’ file road, whilst there’s only about a mile and a half to go it’s pretty tense – worried about scraping Hymie and avoiding oncoming cars.
Eventually arrive but have to queue to get in to the campsite as you are only allowed to go in to the office if you are at the front of the queue – why is it that everyone else took ages to check in but I only took 3 minutes!!
Set up pitch and we have a break in the weather and sit outside with a cup of tea before taking a walk down to the beach – see photo’s.
After a very pleasant walk we return just in time for a G&T and olives.
Tina quickly finishes her G&T and is straight on to the wine, only the wine goblin comes along and knocks her glass over – losing a lot of wine – soon replenished and Tina is quite tipsy and getting hungry so we start to prepare dinner – fried onions, shrooms, toms and rib eye steak with boiled new tats and coleslaw – delish.
Relaxing evening reading the paper and then to bed.
