We are off the ferry at 08:10 and drive to the Aire au Laber in Roscoff to rearrange the van and fit the buggy rack. Driving out through St Pol, Brittany is familiar as ever; artichoke fields, onions, new potatoes and small vegetable plots growing right up to the roadside. We take the 'Route Touristique' to Goulven, a very old town with stone buildings, and then onto Brignonan plages [beaches]. Again it is typical Brittany; wide flat estuaries where the sea go...

We leave home at 15:00 and stop for fuel at Asda. Drizzle, fog and sunny spells all the way to Torpoint where we join the ferry at 17:10 arriving Millbay dock 17:30. Pont Aven is alongside and we only have to wait until 18:15 to check in, but it is 20:00 before we can drive onboard. The loading marshal gives us plenty of room for the lift. We go to the bar for a Guinness then into the restaurant for a very nice 4 course meal with a bottle of Bergerac w...

It's been chucking down most of the night and this morning a few tents are being packed away. The campsite is located near a former flour mill. The building is now the home of the campsite owners and on most Sundays they run the waterwheel and invite campers into their home to share the mill's history. Ali catches a break in the showers and goes for a look around. The mill dates from the 17th century and was last used to produce flour in 1947. Inside the liv...

Up early after a cold night, the grass is white with frost as are the tents. Today we're going to see steam trains on the West Somerset Railway. http://westsomersetrailway.vticket.co.uk/ With D&J we wait outside the site for the 398 bus which arrives at 9:39 to take us via Winsford, Exford and Dunster arriving at Minehead station at 10:45. We buy our train tickets and go for an early lunch in the Turntable Restaurant. Our train is hauled by GWR 7828 Odne...

It's a bright and sunny morning, but being Good Friday there are no buses so we plan to have a lazy day in and around the site. The river running past our pitch is crystal clear and a pheasant is going around the site looking for breakfast scraps. Ali unloads the wheelchair, which has stayed safely on the carrier on its maiden voyage, and we wander up through the woods to the weir which supplies the stream to the mill where the campsite owners live. White wate...
