Forest Glade Campsite, Wow, what a lovely site, only has 80 touring pitches, it is??very quite, on site shop, games room and pool, no local pub (but hey i have a big fridge).
In the middle of nowhere, just 5 miles from the M5 J28…
OR IS IT !
Read the web site very carefully, and??double check the??adised route if youi have a touring caravan, it is a 20 mile detour… 🙁
I did not check this and having followed the sat nav intructions to turn left,??I am confronted with a HUGE sign which says “unsuitable to Long Vehicle and Caravans” !!!!!!!
So that was reversing manoeuvre number 1 !!, Dont worry, I did??not back out into the main road,??I found a suitable turning to back into !!!
Drive to honiton has advised by the camping book and look for the signs to Dunkeswell…
Hmm, there arnt any !!!
So phone the Camp site and get the full instruction, Dunkeswell Road leaves from the north of Honiton, Foudn it, sorted on our way !
Or so I thought, them missed a small sign to the camp site forcing me to do reversing manoeuvre (TWO ??in one day , i am getting good at this )
Finally arrive at camp, get to pitch and setup, ALL sort,
Well Except for the 30 foot trees to the south east, making the Sky dish a bit fun to setup !!!
