Trip 20 27-31st May Dunstan Hill

Day 1
Our weekend started with putting the awning up and then immediately taking it back down as the wind was so strong! Though it was windy the sun shone and we sat outside enjoying the evening with fish and Chips from the
Village van that visits the site on a Friday night.
Day 2



The day started as usual with the local shop van beeping its horn at 8.45 - time to get up get the paper and start the day. The weather was still good so we set off on our coastal walk to Low Newton on Sea. We arrived in the sunshine and got a table at the Ship Inn. Crab stotties and 2 pints of beer brewed on site were ordered. An hour or so later we set off back to he campsite, to be caught in a sudden downpour. Matt was lauding so hard at me running round in circles trying to get my raincoat on. Th wind was so strong it just kept blowing away from me! Needless to say sighing 5 minutes the sun came out again and we were dry before we got bak to the campsite Our friends Karen and Ian and their boys were staying on the same site so we had a lovely afternoon on the beach paddling and building sandcastles. Then in the evening we were taught the game cribbage over a bottle of wine. I suspect cribbage will become a camping favourite.
Day 3
Today we spent the morning watching the rain and then escaped the rain by going into Alnwick to meet other friends and our godchildren for Sunday Lunch. When we returned we were greeted by Karen and Ian and 2 excited 'knights' with their swords. The rest of the day was spent learning the many rules of being a knight and slaying lots of dragons. When the knits went to bed it was time for cribbage.


Day 4
The plan today was to visit the new craft shop and cafe near the site but when we got there it was closed! On a bank holiday!! So we spent the day sitting and drinking tea and enjoying the sun when it appeared. The perfect camping day really.
We then set off early on the Tuesday morning to make our journey home.
