Low Lighthouse - Burnham-on-Sea

The Low Lighthouse is one of three lighthouses in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset

The only one which is still active. It is apparently a Grade II listed building. First lit in 1832, I think the Low Lighthouse looks amazing

Essaouira, Morocco

Essaouira, Morocco








 

Essaouira, Morocco

Essaouira is a port city and resort on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. 

Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, which were designed by European engineers. Old brass cannons line the walls, and there are ocean views. Strong "Alizée" trade winds make the city’s crescent beach popular for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Road trip to Cornwall

This was as much of a test in preparation for a road trip to France first week in September 2018. This is really the first major trip in the camper van and, other than the odd night away locally it's a maiden voyage for Vera-Too

Headed down to Cornwall and stayed at Connor Downs close to St Ives for a few nights early August. Reasonable journey and stayed at North Somerset on the way down. The weather held off reasonably well!

On the road, north of St Ives

Then, arrived at base camp in Connor Downs, met by a welcoming crowd and placed on a lovely pitch in a nice quiet area of the site. Spacious, clean and a lovely open aspect


Parked up for the day in Connor Downs, Cornwall


St Ives, Hayle and the surrounding areas of West Cornwall boast some superb beaches and coastline, spent time on the beach and with family. A quick 4 night break to test out the van and find any tweaks in preparation for a road trip through France soon...


Coastline at Hayle

In conclusion, a great few days away and tested out the camper van, there's a few modifications to make and few changes internally, but otherwise the van performed really well

Tucked up for the night 



More to follow, and updates as the French trip unravels!
