1st July 2009

We left Oxford and started to work our way up north.  We were aiming for a campsite near Malvern.  We now had our Internet dongle so Paul could book campsites online, and we more or less planned a week or so in advance.  Although it’s now summer, the weather in the UK hasn’t been good and the sites weren’t as busy as they might have been, so we can nearly always get a pitch on the site we want.

We stopped at Tesco in Cheltenham to stock up on provisions, and then at a caravan dealers to try and get some side screens for our awning but they didn't have anything in stock.  We then drove to an Argos to try and find a sun bed, but no luck.

We arrived at the Blackmore Campsite on the edge of Malvern, another Camping & Caravanning Club site.  Nice large hard stand pitches, but we haven’t seen the showers yet!  It's really hot today, but apparently the weather is changing for tomorrow, thunderstorms coming.  Another quiet night, watched TV and had a drink with the couple in a caravan on the pitch opposite us.
