We arrived at Highland’s end close to West Bay early on Friday afternoon and secured a pitch with sea views and tree shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n

I think 74 VW California campervans arrived on-site for this get together. However, we were not blessed with good weather and as Friday turned into Saturday the winds whipped, several not so well-tied-down awnings were whisked away and by late Saturday, most of the pop-tops were lowered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that we were only an hour from home, we decided that cramped into the campervan for a wickedly cold and wet night wasn’t what we signed up for so we abandoned ship, so to speak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did get to meet some great folks and were so impressed with our neighbours drive-away awning that we ordered one for our up-coming trips away. It’s a Telta Core 260.<\/p>\n\n\n

We also walked into West Bay on the Friday and further along the coastal path for lunch at the Three Horseshoes in Burton Bradstock on Saturday. A great weekend over-shadowed by some dreadful weather…<\/p>\n\n\n
