Staycation Spring 2023 - Mersea Island Shakedown
With a few weeks to go before we go away to France on the Awaycation, it seemed like a good idea to get the away for a few days as a shakedown! So I was looking at another short trip. I looked at some Caravan Club sites and there were none that really pushed any buttons. We like to go midweek where the chances of the sites being overrun with kids is limited. The Caravan Club doesn't have any Adult-Only sites. I moved my search to certificated locations. There were a few but given the uncertainty of UK weather it was hard to find any that have hardstanding. We could have returned to one of the ones we did last month, but they were nice, but are in the middle of nowhere. One has a pub nearby that would have been a good dog-walk with a cheeky pint at the end of it, but the pub closed, possibly due to the pandemic, and has never re-opened. So where to? Mersea Island? I had a look at Fen Farm again. We did that in March (I think) and it was good but grass...
