We arrived at Black Knowl following a 3.5 hour drive from East Devon. We managed to avoid the massive East Devon and wider South West floods which arrived in the late afternoon, turning streets into rivers and causing many main roads to be impassable.

The weather in the New Forest is looking typically English over the next week or so. Temperatures below average and rather unsettled.

Despite the forecast of rain post arrival, the day remained predominantly dry and we had set everything up on our serviced pitch after just over two hours.

In the evening we ate at the Snakecatcher in Brockenhurst and spotted this herd of deer close to the caravan site.
