Camping Adventures - Day One

Day One

Good journey. Nearly there, stopped at the Black Horse after just over an hour of driving to let the car cool off. The AX [periwinkle] struggled a little on hills, starting to feel the strain of all the things we packed. Decided to go via yapton to get to the Lilies site. Before we arrived at site we were under the impression that the site would be allot further away but after Owens map skills were exposed as phoney the campsite was, in fact, ten minutes from our coffee stop. Our arrival time was 12pm.
When we had conversed with the evil troll, controller of campsite and occupant of the mysterious hatch of supplies (over priced local supermarket products) we began the erecting of our home for the week. Meanwhile the weather looks threatening
Finished setting up tent just as it looked like rain was on the way. All stations go for the week ahead.

In order to organise the tent I thought I would steal stuff from work to help. Using only four blue crates used to store fresh vegetables and an upside down apple box we had created our kitchen. Not bad for a couple of near adults!

Just got back from Littlehampton. It’s like a chavy version of Eastbourne but with less drunks but just as many skanky shops, in fact there‘s even more useless ones in Littlehampton. Noticed a rather lovely looking - if maybe a little ‘hip and trendy’ looking pub just outside of Yapton. Off to sample their wares tonight, if it’s a nice place they may be seeing more of us!

Here begins the cooking adventures for the week. We have just eaten after checking out
the area found a Co-op, and purchased bacon. yahoo!! what fun. weather still threatening rain but so far so good .
As there seems to be a small wasp problem (the problem with them being that they’re nasty little critters who’ll take any chance they have to stab you), we will be keeping a wasp-kill count to show how great we are at over-coming ANY difficulties that may arise.

Injuries on day one include: burns on both myself and Charli, (she tried to clean a hot grill and when I reinacted her stupidity, also managed to burn myself - duh!?), and I cut myself shaving. Tent space has worked out well, especially my home made blue tent tidy. So, here ends day one, calamity free .
