Cali has been to Swanage

For our final weekend away in Cali we went to Haycraft Caravan Club Site at Harman's Cross near Swanage.  This is one of our favourite weekend sites, but it's quite hard to find vacancies at a weekend as it's only a small site and gets booked quickly.  

We arrived mid-afternoon after Steve finished work and were surprised to find we had a choice of pitches - we chose pitch 20 which is at the end of the pitches on the lower level.  It was a very hot afternoon so we were glad there were some clouds whilst we sat outside for the afternoon.

On Saturday we decided to do one of our favourite walks from the site.  We walked through Langton Matravers and Worth Matravers to the coast path at East Man before walking along the coast path to Durlston Country Park.

From Durlston we walked into into Swanage before catching a bus back towards the site.  We usually catch the steam train, but the station nearest to the site is closed due to Covid-19, so we used the bus instead.  It was one of the hottest days of the year and, at times, the walk was quite challenging so when we got back to the site we sat in the shade for the evening.

Sunday morning was another hot day and we stayed on site before packing up late morning. We normally stop somewhere on the way home, but as everywhere was so busy we decided to head home instead.

This is a lovely site and felt very relaxed, even though there were strict Covid-19 restrictions around access to the facilities block. 

A fabulous sunny weekend for our last holiday in Cali.
