Seems to be nice pictures on the front here. And the other side goes all the way around there. There some amazing sort of chalets and semi-statics here. Yeah. I’ve been spending a bit of time editing this morning. How long did you say I’ve been doing it? Seven hours. A bit of time. Just a little bit of time. Yeah. A bit of an understatement. I lost some sound on the uh footage I filmed going onto the tunnel. I spent ages trying to sync it up. So, if anyone moans about the sound on there, we’re just going to have a look at the shower block here. And uh it’s not I I’ this morning I went all the way down well almost to the entrance looking for a shower block but Sue had found it last night. I found the other block of rubbish today. So it’s over here. I’m just admiring this coach. It seems to have grown into the scenery here. Yeah. It’s obviously a chemical emptying point here. Yeah. I was wondering where was there disabled L there is quite good up that on that red lift. Okay, let’s have a look inside. Oh, looks quite nice, isn’t it? The ladies to the left. Okay. Wow.

Yeah. The lake if you like. Yeah. These caravans here. Yeah. We were just saying how much it was here. And continue 600 m to the end of the street, then turn left. Okay. Cuz it was quite expensive here, wasn’t it? Well, it’s it’s the extra. Yeah. I don’t like the dog and everything. So, work out at the moment and we do a probably a bit of a refund, don’t we, for the showers and things like that. So, it’s this is sort of a bit of Yeah. an estimate at the moment. Yeah. I work out alto together it’s was £84. Yeah. So that’s about £42 a night, but it was a service pitch. Yeah. Wasn’t it? Yeah. And obviously we had to pay £3 a night for Poppy. We’ve been here two nights and it’s nice. It was nice and quiet. It was lovely. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely would come back here.

We think we’re going for the exit elseang back along that road we came in on. Yeah, you could in theory drive through all the the caravans, but it’s probably quicker to go along here. Yeah, I don’t think they’d appreciate you driving all the way along the front there. It is amazing the number of um like we’d call them seasonal pitches, wouldn’t we? Yeah. Permanent ones. Yeah. What a nice place to have a seasonal as well. That’s right. Turn left onto our doctor. I think what we found though, as soon as it gets to sort of September and it’s not the weekend, there’s hardly anybody here in these seasonals, are there? Yeah, that’s right. Makes even quieter. Gates are a bit tight, aren’t they? So, we didn’t go to any of the bars, did we? At all. We just uh finished off some of our own uh stuff and finished off some of the editing. So, didn’t really do much. Yeah. So, we’re off to Where are we off to? Put put Well, we’re off to little first.

Don’t think the restaurant actually was was open, was it? Um, I don’t know. I didn’t didn’t see Well, turn left onto Hart Lasha. I didn’t notice the one near us didn’t appear to seem to be. There is a bigger one here, but the only drawback with that site is the size of it. You you need a bike or something to get from one end to the other. Yeah. To do a proper explore of it. Yeah.
