Staycation Suffolk - Tomorrow

The staycation to Suffolk stating in three different Caravan Club certificated locations begins tomorrow.

Of course the weather has turned for the worst over the last week plus.  The torrential rain and even hailstorms seem to have passed for now, but the temperatures aren't actually that high.

When we picked the Moho up from the storage site on Sunday it was raining quite hard and it stuck until the evening.

The forecast for the area we are going to looks a little un-summer like. Luckily, and fortuitously, I have booked hardstanding at all three. After the rain we have had over the last few weeks grass pitches are going to be like swamps.

The lady at the Garden House CL did say that they have well drained sandy soil, but I still asked for a hardstanding pitch. If the weather is dodgy we won't be getting the awning and chairs out anyway! 

Molly the Moho will be needing fuel before we get back as well. The range on the dashboard is showing 200 mile or so to empty.  I checked the fuel prices app on my phone and it looks as though we are being royally ripped off around here.  Diesel is 161.9 a litre (!) but not far off the route to the Dartford Crossing, it's 149.7!  So a detour via Walderslade is on the cards.

I might do the same on the way back to make sure we have a full tank at the lowest price!

I am aiming to be away around 1030am. All the details of the sites and the access instructions have been printed and are in the Moho or will be soon!  I have the entrances saved in the satnav but local instructions can save a few problems.

So are we ready?  Not quite!
