A long and rather dull day's driving up the M11, A14 and A1(M). We set off at about 10:00 and first port of call was a Tesco where I did a shopping - goodness, the prices are eye-watering compared to Lidl. Sadly, the petrol station was closed, so our next port of call was another Tesco, where we did manage to get diesel. Then it was on and on, stopping at Cambridge services to have lunch, and in a random lay-by for the SW to have coffee, and mentally waving at our various friends who live in Peterborough, Leeds and Donnington.
And then, when we got to the place where we had planned to spend the night, we were turned away. I don't know why, as it has excellent reviews and is a proper campsite, but evidently not on Saturdays. However, there was another campsite only a couple of miles away, so I rang them up and asked whether they had room for us, and they did. Incredibly friendly people, and a really nice place to stay! So we are comfortably settled here for the night. I was stiff and tired, and got out of the WoMo when we were parked up and did ten minutes' or so qi gong and tai chi, and that has made all the difference. It is still very windy - the wind rather impacted our drive up and made driving difficult in some places when there weren't high hedges. But now there is a lovely sunset!
