Between Eastbourn and Beachy head

We have just spent 3 days at a 5 van certified location on a farm on the south downs between Eastbourn and Beachy head.

On a very still day we had a fantastic walk along the south downs way from Eastbourn via beachy head over the seven sisters to Westdean, and the bus back. A very good walk but a lot of ups and downs for a old Lincolnshire couple

Eastbour is a lovely large town with a fantastic promenade, gardens,smart hotels and a pier. The area is exceptionally clean and tidy, no rubbish or vandalism. But the best thing is the vast number of memorial benches all along the front, ideal for coffee breaks and lunches somewhere we will visit again.

Like of the day

At Eastbourn there is always a seat to have a cup of coffee and look at the view

Public Information

As a young man it is very good to marry a younger woman. But remember they are very expensive to keep as you grow older, as they don’t get free bus travel or senior discounts at attractions as soon as yourself.

Brighton

Brighton 11/3/12

We have just had a 8 day stop over in Brighton, based at the caravan club site, which is situated 2 1/2 miles from the centre of town and 1/2 mile from the marina

The marina is a fairly new and very big development, with a large boating marina, apartments, shops, cafés restaurants,cinema and 24 hour asda all very nicely done.

Brighton its self is much larger than I thought, with all the well known shops and a lot of the expensive brands with restaurants and bars in abundance It has a typical Victorian prom and pier with hotels facing the sea The best building is the Royal Pavilion built by George iv as a summer pad it is way over the top in décor it was sold by queen Victoria as it is so public. well worth a
visit.

Dreamboats and Petticoats the musical

Theatre Royal Brighton

This is a musical set in 1961, based in a youth club where a group of teenage friends love music and the opposite sex. The story follows 2 young people on there quest to write a song for a competition. It is in a similar format to Mama Mia where the songs are the story using Rock and Roll greats from the early 60’s. It is a fantastic feel good show which by the end of the performance has everyone stood up with sore hands from clapping and big smiles on their faces

Site Review

Site Review 4/3/12

Rutland caravan and camping site Greetham is a affiliated site to the c.c. It is a family new site created from a flat field just outside the village of Greetham in Rutland. Pitches and shower block are of normal high c.c. standard, but the site will benefit from ageing. The site is divided into 2 sections one for family’s and the other for adults only, a footpath with a security gate leads to the village with a P.O. shop and 3 pubs one giving 10% off food and 50p off a pint or a glass of wine to anyone staying on the site.

The site is very convenient for greetham valley golf course and rutland water.

I would give the site 4 stars.
