It's chilly but bright as we vacate the pitch and empty out using the newly fitted remote control valve. Cheddar Gorge is almost empty as we drive down through. Two years ago this road was a bit of a challenge but after the places Mary*Lou has taken us since then it's just another bit of tarmac. We arrive at Adventure Leisure in Highbridge just after 10:00 and proprieter Nick Stevens ges straight to work fitting a 120w solar panel and 350w inverter. Less than...

A patchy sky and cool breeze this morning. It looks like it might rain but we decide to wander along to the village anyway. The trees are starting to turn autumnal colours and yet a few swallows are still around. Priddy village is very attractive with its large green surrounded by stone houses and old farm buildings. What looks like it was once a pub is up for sale, but just around the corner we find the Queen Victoria. This really is a typical English pub; ...

Rained heavily in the night and still showery this morning. The couple from Leighton Buzzard fold away their trailer-van but have trouble getting off the pitch until we help with our mud-mats and Ali, Nick and Grete giving them a shove. Both of our vans get off OK with the mats. We empty out and head off towards Highbridge. After Ashburton the rain clears and it gets sunny at times. At Highbridge we meet another Nick and discuss options for solar panels befo...

Not as sunny as yesterday but no rain forecast. We also discover the Sunday bus service is no good. At 11:30 we set off down Weeke Lane again for the walk into Dartmouth and meet N+G by the park after their church service. A little way along the front is The Floating Bridge Inn where we stop and have a very good roast lunch. Grete gets tickets for us all to go on the Paddle Steamer, Kingswear Castle. While we are waiting we plug into one of the pontoon's elec...

Ali, Nick and Grete walk into Dartmouth while NW goes ahead by bike to get his boat ready. Weeke Lane appears much more overgrown and narrow compared with our last time here [Easter 2013 with d*** and Jan]. Also much warmer than last time! We reach the pontoon as NW is mooring the 21' Alexandra Persephone, or 'Ali P' alongside. We sit on the pontoon and have lunch the NW and Ali go for a sail while Grete shows Nick around Dartmouth. It's beautiful on a late ...
