Cali has been to Start Bay

We were away again at the weekend in Cali staying at Start Bay Caravan Club Site at Stokenham.  We previously stayed at this site in 2017 when we had an awful sloping pitch as we arrived late.  This time we made sure we arrived earlier to get a better pitch - Steve finished work at 12.00 and were were on our way ten minutes later!

There was a choice of about a dozen pitches when we arrived and we found a lovely hardstanding at the back of the site, furthest away from the road.  As the weather was glorious on Friday afternoon we decided to enjoy the sun and had a lazy afternoon on site.

We woke on Saturday morning to thick drizzle so didn't rush off for our walk.  The sky cleared about 10.00am so we headed for the coast path and walked to Start Point for lunch and then walked back to Torpoint for a stroll around Slapton Ley.  By the afternoon it was very hot so we headed back to the site to have showers before the facilities got too busy (this site only allowed three people at any time in the toilet block).

After a lovely afternoon and evening we had a torrential downpour overnight which woke us both.  The heavy rain had stopped by Sunday morning but there was still a thick drizzle so we stayed in Cali for the morning before heading home by lunchtime.

This site is in a lovely area and although it's not one of our favourite sites (when full it does feel rather cramped) we will go back again to do more walking in the area.
