In return for the price of fish and chips we slept in comfort with the gentle lapping of the North Sea in our ears. Waking about 8:30, I took Charlie the 6m commute to the beach for some morning stone-skimming, before a brew and breakie. The four other motorhomes and campervans we&#8217;d spotted strung out along the beach and harbour had stayed the night too. I needed a shower, but Zagan was refusing to play ball. Only after rubbing my body down in a semi-freezing dribble of water did I work out how to bleed the air from the thing, shaking my aching head at the steady stream of hot water.

We have only a few days up here, as our ferry to France is booked for 12 Oct, but why the rush? I can&#8217;t much remember, but think it was the ease with which we can motorhome through France, and the exoticness of all that crafted cheese and low-cost wine which tempted an early exit from the UK.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18235\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC03850.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18235\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18235\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/DSC03850-1024x401.jpg\" alt=\"Last night's kipping spot at Roger's.
