Strange sights on a strange site......
....nowadays it's quite normal to share sites with static caravans, wooden lodges, glamping pods, shepherds huts - but for alternate holiday accommodation, this takes some beating......our adjacent pitch was this -

....not strange enough ? how about.....laundry !
What's strange about laundry, a lot of sites provide some washing and drying facilities...usually unobtrusive, in a room...like, normal....
Not here.....how about this -

...other facilities were a mad mixture of Madmax/Steampunk/Uncle Toms Cabin - though there were some "normal" recognisable washrooms.
The site ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Froglands, Isle of Wight
And there was also an amazing junkyard/scrapyard/reclamation/antiques place there....
Certainly a refreshing alternative to big bland sites.

Brilliant! This at our bike rally in Scotland earlier this year. The site also has glamping pods.

...it's called the Windmillcampersite for a very good reason......it is really suitable for campervans, I wouldn't want to take a coachbuilt down the narrow lane where the site is, then there is an incline from the farm up to the site.
Incidentally, even with booking through the CC (which I will still call it), the ferry crossing (Lym/Yarmouth) was £88 - compared with my favourite ferries (Calmac) it was a very high £ per mile (or nautical mile).

...sorry for causing all this confusion !
It's like waiting for a bus - no helicopters on the forum for years, then two turn up at the same time....

There must be a demand, the owners at the Scottish site said the Sea King was fully booked up for the summer season, despite it being on the expensive side at £150 for one night.repoort wrote:...sorry for causing all this confusion !

....our neighbour was £350 to £495 for three nights, a bit more than a shepherds hut, although a more unique experience.
Didn't have the AS quality, of course.

Re: Strange sights on a strange site......
VERY NICE, would love another bike especially one of those. Last bike was a Yamaha FZR1000 until someone tried to knock me off it!!, when I got home I chucked the keys on the table and said "Thats It with bikes", ended up with a Triumph 13/60 convertible so we could take the kids with us.bikeralw wrote:Oh, sorry, I thought it was meant for Repoort!groundhog wrote:Sorry that was meant for bikeralw referring to the bikes

You should get yourself another bike Chris! I now have a total of 6 after purchasing an Aprilia 850 last week to celebrate achieving the milestone of passing the age at which my father passed away..
