PUTTEN

THURSDAY 14th

52 miles today to Putten, a campsite called Strandparc Nulde, via the back roads through the lakes area, very pretty in the sunshine. We arrived just before 12.00 and with difficulty got sorted out. The guy from reception was out on the site blowing away leaves and acorns, apparently they had the bad storm yesterday as well. We had just got parked up when it started to rain again, so stayed inside until about 8.00pm when we tried to level ourselves out a bit, but the ground was so soggy we just got stuck in the mud so gave up and will now sleep on the slant. Hopefully it will have dried out a bit by the time we come to leave or we could have a problem. There are very few people around here, mostly shut up long-term caravans whose owners come and go throughout the year.

FRIDAY 15th

A fairly nice day  on and off. We did a bit of tidying and then went for a walk along the strand, not much to see apart from trees and water, no cars or people about. It is very definitely the end of their season. Quite a few folk turned up on site today and started cleaning up their caravans and taking awnings down, apparently they have to be off the site by 1st October. In the evening we went and made pigs of ourselves in the restaurant, steak for Brian and smoky ribs for me, yummy! I had to ask for a doggy bag as I couldn’t manage all the ribs, we’ll save the rest for tomorrow.





SATURDAY 16th


Raining again this morning so we did not get up very early. Later on when it dried up a bit we emptied our waste, toilet and filled up ready to move on tomorrow. After lunch we went for a stroll in the opposite direction, but again not a lot to see. A few more folk came today and cleared out their vans.
