North Berwick for us this weekend then a stop at Dalkeith park on the way home for the kids to play.

 

[The Van Cave]

Hive beach, Burton Bradstock. The kayaks stayed on the roof of the van though, way too rough to take them in the sea.

for the time being

lincs cc looking at installing 2m restrictors and restricted parking there
its pretty much the only car park on that section of coast you can get a kombi into ( the rest from chapel up to there) already have barriers on em.

also, there will be NO OVERNIGHT parking available after 10pm, which is when parking charges cease and enforcement begins

also, they are effectivly banning fishing off the beach as well, as there is no where left to park without a 3 mile walk, as double yellows going on every approach rpad!

make the most of it while you can

i think cornwalls worse single track road then a double decker bus comes round the corner but thats the price you have to pay to get to some of the decent beaches

I thought Cornwall was worse before this holiday in South Devon, hedges clipping both mirrors and crazy busy with caravans round every corner!

The good Cornish beaches are best reached with boots and a rucksack. That’s the only reason they are still good beaches.
Cornwalls been trashed this summer.

we have been going to cornwall for years and have never know it so busy as you say avoid the crowds put the rucksack on and walk why do most people just get on the beach and set up walk a couple of hundred metres and your on your own thats along the beach not out to sea.

You were lucky to get out at all, sometimes best to wait for the bus and stick right behind it.

Great beach at Huttoft, love it there
Go quite a lot all threw the year, nice in colder months as well sat watching the sea roll in

Shame there considering to charge for parking when they have built a new glass fronted cafe, but things need to move forward

Drove to a local beauty spot to give our homemade canopy a proper tryout, really happy with it, Velcro's onto roof rails so can be used either side and 5 mins to set up and take down, can be set up in various ways depending on pole
