Bertie goes to Suffolk (Adnams country!) 11-14 June 2018

Only our second trip away with Bertie now, we choose this site because it is close to Southwold (about 5 miles) and we would like to go and visit there and surrounding areas like Dunwich on the bikes.  I decided to take the hybrid, maybe there was some ‘off-road’ that I couldn’t manage on the road bikes.

The Haw Wood Farm site was spotless, huge big showers and friendly staff took care of us.

We had booked a distillery tour at Adnams, something inside under cover in case the weather wasn’t too good!

By dumb luck, the OVO women’s tour finishes in Southwold on the same day as our tour, so we rearrange the visit from 13.30 to 11.30 so we can watch the women finish at 2pm.

The people pitched up next to us turned up 30 minutes after us and plan to stay for 2 weeks!  They are also keen cyclists and they go out each day on a custom built tandem.

We found out on this trip that we need an awning to give us more space, I was ‘working from motorhome’ so I did use up a lot of the indoor space.  But still it became apparent that when the weather turns a bit chilly or wet, we’d need that extra space outside under cover because the two of us in the living area was a bit confined for long periods.
