Nice break away with the grand kids.

Hi.
We had a lovely 5 day break in the motor home with the grand kids, our first trip since we had it refurbished by Regal.

Well back to the trip!.
We went straight up to Holy Island Northumberland hoping to stay on there, but there were no camping signs every where, so we went to Warren Mills camp site at Budle bay. Expensive but OK. We were very honest because when we got there the office was shut and nobody was about, so we found an empty pitch with hook up and set up camp, then Sandra went round to pay the next morning.

Next day we went back to Holy Island and had a great day out, the grand kids loved it.
There are know amusements and the such but they threw themselves into the scenery and history of the place without the need to spend money, a great day out.
We then went back to Beadnell camp site to try and get on but it was full again, even though it wasn't. Seeing as we were booked on for the next two nights anyway I can not for the life of me see why they couldn't accommodate us for one more.
Instead we went down into Beadnell village near the harbour and set up camp for the night in the car park and then had a day out on the beach till we could go on the camp site.

The grand kids had two good days on the beach rock pooling for crabs, and I learned them to play crash, a card game which they soon picked up and became too good!.

We then called on the way back home in Beamish Museum and a good few hours there, the weather brightening up while we were there.
Then back home to Aldbrough.

Once again I will put some pic's on when I have uploaded them from my camera
