Start Bay Caravan and Motorhome Club site

Sunday 16th July 2017

Packed up and headed off to our main destination in the South Hams District at Stokenham near Torcross.

We passed Blackpool Sands and followed the winding coastal road to Slapton Sands, an interesting route quite narrow at times! 

We had some time to kill before we could book in at the site, and decided to park up at the Memorial Carpark on the beach.

It's stunning, 'untouched by man beauty', the sea to one side and the freshwater lake to the other. Of course, it's not really untouched by man, there is much research carried out in the area by the Field Studies Council, whereby their aim is 'to bring environmental understanding to all'.

Checked into site early, we were fortunate to get a relatively level pitch, if we had left it any later we would have been on a very sloping grass pitch!!

Decided to use the levelling blocks for the first time, Ant had no problem reversing on to them, Spot on!! 
Two things we have noticed to date that happens if the Twin is not level. 
Water level in tank effects the water pump and we have to fill it more than 25% and the 
side sliding door slides fully open, thinking about that one, maybe we could let it sit on the first stop, something to investigate next time.....

Site OK, facilities a little tired but they offer a good cream tea....
