So having had our two jabs and with negative lateral flow tests we headed off to Dorset for a week.
We managed to hire a small motorhome for 4 days from GoSolent (bit of an upgrade for us from the usual campervans we’ve had before, went for a 6 metre van with bathroom!). We spent 2 days at Woodyhyde campsite near Corfe Castle and 2 at Lulworth Holiday Park and then, using our AirBnB vouchers from the Grey Gap Year cancellations, finished off with 3 nights in “pod” at The Penn Estate on the Isle of Portland.
The weather was kind to us so we had plenty of walks, got chased by a cow who thought we were too close to her calf, got to grips with motorhome living (trick is to be VERY tidy!), enjoyed a trip on the Swanage steam railway, explored the Isle of Portland with its Portland Stone quarrys and wonderful walks and had fun at the D-Day experience museum. When the weather finally turned we had a trip down memory lane revisiting Weymouth where we met each other many many years ago and then finished with a day in the beautiful village of Abbotsbury with its Swannery and Subtropical Gardens (we managed to use Tesco vouchers for the entry tickets to these).
Just so lovely to get away and relax and can definitely recommend the camp sites and experiences that we visited.
