The penultimate walk of the day was round Kilminorth Woods. The tide was out at the time so we were able to take the long route along the estuary.

After lunch we explored the Millpool estuary area. It was teeming with bird and boat life! We even saw a pair of little egrets.

We returned across the bridge into East Looe for a pub lunch before taking MORE photos of the harbour area and Millpool.

We spent some time watching a cormorant dry his wings in the warm February sunshine!

Once down in the town we walked through the little streets, along the harbour side and to the end of Banjo Pier. We then headed across the bridge to West Looe and walked up and around to Hannafore to see Looe Island (also known as St Georges Island).

After breakfast we walked down into Looe, which is approximately 2 miles from the site - downhill thankfully, BUT of course that means it's uphill on the way back!!! The views from over the rooftops were fantastic. The early morning mist was still hanging over the estuary and looked wonderful in the sunshine. A perfect day in February!

We arrived on site at 4:15pm'ish so had a couple of hours daylight to walk Paddy and pick up some much needed booze from the 'local' off licence! Although the site has 195 pitches, only the hard-standing section is used 'out of season'. There were only about 12 of us camping over the weekend so the facilities were almost private! Friday evening was spent in the warmth of the motorhome with a traditional Friday Night Curry!!!!

On Saturday morning we awoke to glorious blue skies and watched the sunrise over the campsite!

Happy 2008 Camping!

Yes, I know it's February already but as this is the first blog entry of the year I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

The camping year has started very early for us this year. Our first planned/booked trip was Easter but as February seemed to be non-stop sunshine we decided to sneak a little trip away. We didn't want to travel too far so we agreed on a 2-night stop at the Caravan Club site in Looe. We've stayed there before so knew where it was and what it was like.

The trip didn't actually get off to the best of starts!!! We were pulling off our drive to head for Looe on the Friday afternoon and Michael turned left, a second or so before he normally does, and caught the rear end of the motorhome on our wall!!! It's not major damage but it has proved to be a pain getting it fixed in good old Cornwall. Anyway, the good news is that we've found a local guy who can do it in March and for a reasonable price, so by the time we go away for Easter she'll be sorted (we hope!).

I am happy to report that the 'offending wall' no longer lives on our drive!!!!
