Christmas New Year, 2019 – Hillhead CMC…

Standard

A brave decision and we booked two weeks at the Hillhead Caravan and Motorhome site. To book two weeks late in the year was somewhat of a challenge as many of the nights are already fully booked. Not only did we manage to book 14 nights but whilst looking for a pitch for friends, we spotted a Serviced pitch had become available for the entire period.

Hillhead is close to Brixham and Dartmouth and only about an hours drive from our storage location in East Devon. A chance to make sure that everything is working prior to our trip to Spain in the New Year and also an opportunity to test out our new mattress.

We arrived to find the site sparsely occupied and chose a pitch on the higher section. It’s all looking rather festive here although we haven’t contributed a huge amount to the festivities.

We managed to get more or less set up dodging the showers and extreme periods of rain and strong winds. In the evening we drove to Kingswear and grabbed a pizza and a few jars at “The Steam Packett Inn”. It’s a small place but well frequented by the locals – being its the only pub in town.

This also meant the barman spent a lot of time refusing to serve some rather determined local folks previously banned from the establishment. We did think about catching the ferry across to Dartmouth but another day for that.
