Heading for the hills

Today we drove 'uphill' from Scottborough to Dragon Peaks, arriving just before lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days there, although the weather was rather variable.  On sunday night we had rain of epic proportions which continued on into Sunday so we took the opportunity of driving up to Westville to collect a spare part for our caravan mover from Eric, the chap who makes them. 

 The caravan park at Scottborough is situated right on the sea, with a lovely swimming beach off to the left.  There are two beautifully kept pools set on the rocks, handy for when swimming is banned as it was after the heavy rains. The park is very well kept with spotless ablutions and well-maintained grounds.
The beach is perfect for long walks, and there is a constant lifeguard presence during daylight hours.
There were plenty of fishermen fishing from the rocks, and few seemed to leave empty-handed.
 Scottborough is a typical South Coast holiday town with the usual amenities and a fair selection of shops and restaurants.
During one of our strolls round the caravan park, we met Val and Mick Stevens.  Val is an artist and had this lovely seascape, which she had just completed, on display for sale.  She works in pastels, oils and mixed media and is planning to set up a website featuring her work in the near future.  Meantime 031-7028008 will find her.
