Cali has been to Wareham

We had planned on going to the Camping and Caravan Show at the NEC but as we've already ordered Cali 2 we had a change of plan.  We've been keeping an eye on the weather forecast to see where the best weather was likely to be and opted to stop at Hunter's Moon Caravan Club Site at Wareham.

Pitch 64 Hunter's Moon

We had just finished pitching on Thursday afternoon when it started to rain heavy and then rained on and off all night.  Luckily our pitch was near to the amenities block, so we didn't get too wet.  As strong winds were also forecast, we didn't raise the roof for the weekend.

On Friday we woke to a windy but dry morning and decided to go walking for the day.  The only downside to the site is there is no bus service nearby, so we drove Cali off site and went to Swanage.  We walked to Durlston Country Park in the morning, into Swanage for lunch at the Love Cake cafe and then a walk along the seafront in the afternoon.  By late afternoon it had started to cloud over so we returned to site.

Old Harry Rocks & Swanage Pier

Friday night was very windy - even with the roof down we could feel the wind blowing Cali.  Neither of us had much sleep.  On Saturday we woke to a damp, drizzly morning so drove to the National Trust car park at Studland Bay.  By the time we had read the paper and had a coffee, the rain had stopped and the sun came out. 

Studland Beach

We walked along the beach to the Shell Bay Bistro for lunch and then back to Cali returning to the site late afternoon.

Saturday was another wet and windy night.  Sunday morning was also wet so after breakfast we decided to head home.  Despite the weather it was a lovely weekend and we made the best of the dry spells to go walking.
