Greetings,

Nice to meet up with you Jacquie and John, we enjoyed our meal at the Grosvenor, hope you enjoyed your day at Cleethorpes.

We were hoping to get back to the site after tea to see visit StAubyns as well but I was not too good and was in bed by 6pm

May have a mosey down in the morning if I feel OK before you go.

Would love to be there as we like Thorpe park in the quiet season! Have you tried the pub near the site that does a fantastic carvery for (last year) £4.95 in the week? If you have'nt then the directions are, first left hand turn out of camp site, and pub on your right. Also, if you like Chinese or Indian, there is a restuarant halfway to Cleethorpes, at the side of the boating lake, who do an eat all you want for (last year as well) £6.95, or in week for pensioners £4.95!! We hope to be going back later in the year.

Greetings,

Well we got down to Thorpe Park and met Geoff and his good lady (StAubyns) they seemed to enjoy their stay at the caravan site.

The eating places in Cleethorpes are very good domannhal, the The carvery pub you mentioned is the
The Trawlerman and the carvery is at present priced at £3.49 during the week, which is superb value, but costs £5.99 on a Sunday.

The Oriental on the lake side you mentioned is also superb, this is behind the car park and there is normally plenty of room on here.

We like The Grosvenor on Humberston Road, this is a Sizzling pub, which offers a good menu, many served on a hot skillet, the Sizzling pub chain do special offers from time to time and information and discount vouchers can be had off their web site. Here

Well, much to our surprise, we really enjoyed Thorpe Park Very Happy It was good to meet Jacqui and Peter, its always nice to be able to faces to names Very Happy

We were very pleasantly surprised at the sea front outside the site, particularly the walk past Humberston Fitties to the RSPB Reserve at Tetney Marshes. We did spend quite a bit of time in that area, even getting up early one morning Shocked In the opposite direction, its a very pleasant walk into Cleethorpes through the sand dunes. Which ever way you go, its just a tarmaced walkway/cycle track, so no cars

We did not try eating out as we rarely, if ever, eat out these days, probably too many bad experiences in the near past, but we may just try one of the recommends when we we return, which we will.

Also, a seafront with plenty of seats, to while away the time with a camera and watch the shipping entering the Humber Estuary. Its the first time I've seen Spurn Point ferom the opposite side, although very much in the distance Very Happy

Was nice to meet you as well Geoff Very Happy and as you say not a bad site at all considering it was almost full and kids every where Rolling Eyes it was quite quiet. We also walked miles along the front pity about the bikes though with the terrorists Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes Laughing

We had a nice time out with Peter & Chris (Humber-Traveller) and the meal was good at the Grosvener was good to see Pete hasn't lost his joy of food Laughing

We have now moved down the coast to Anderby on a CCC holiday site Ronam Cottage, £7.50 pn including electric or £5.50 without electric, its not a bad site either flat field which drains well and about a mile and a half to the beach and plenty of dog walks. Plenty of room if anybody is looking for somewhere to go its on till 6th July.

Hi Jackie, we are coming to Sandilands, a caravan club site, just down the road from Anderby, on Thursday. Will you still be there? Have you been to the sea front at Huttoft yet? It's usually free to park there and it's right on the beach. A lot of campers take their motorhomes there and camp out for the day.
