After a peaceful night at Jasmine Camping… … we went for a longish walk through the fields… … and along the beach to Sutton-on-Sea. Jim was very pround of the beach and its Blue Flag status, and rightly so – it is a lovely, clean beach with masses of shells. Flynn enjoyed a swim. Then…

When we woke up we were surrounded by Sheep so Flynn didn’t get his expected run though the moor and had to make do with a human-pace walk at the end of a zip lead. Then back south. As is our habit, we’re trying to outrun the weather. The heatwave is over up here and…

We left Louise’s relatively late (for us), and headed north. Our first stop was in Settle, where the car park now has several official motorhome parking bays.

Now that we have Jones on our extended driveway, the run up to a trip abroad should be much smoother. This time, not so much. To start with, the EU, spotting that we had a trip planned, decided at the last minute that Flynn’s almost unused new Belgian pet passport was not to be accepted…

We’d planned a walk up the valley from Devil’s Bridge. We had just enough time (3h) before the rain storm rolled in from the sea. Unfortunately the rain didn’t keep to its schedule and as I was making our packed lunch the rain and a little hail started. We did all the Jones filling/emptying and…
