    Hi Helen and Dave my apologies I managed to miss a couple of videos been so mad here in one way or another
    This one was a great video looks a lovely area and the pub was great and can see why you like the campsite as well
    A great tour of the lighthouse and explanation about the history
    In a link to our area Chance Bros Glass factory was about three miles away from us near to West Bromwich! Such a small world!
    They have been out of business some years now but made many lighthouse lights in their time glad that one is still going strong
    What an amazing view I bet you can see for miles!
    Great to see Alec and Sandra and their wonderful collection of owls they all seemed really tame and great how they behaved with the camera they seem such a lovely couple
    All the very best to you both Daniel

But I loved it not so when she washed my hair from the rainwater out of the waterbutt😮 my cousin and I used to count how many times the lighthouse would shine through the little wooden windows before we fell asleep it was magical of course I had to take my granddaughter to visit she loved the lighthouse the beach and my sisters little house by the sea thank you again for a lovely video Take care on your journeys 😊

    Just recently spent a week or so at Bridlington Caravan and Motorhome site near Flamborough Head. When I was there, the wardens spoiled my stay completely by their pedantic adherence to rules. 4 times I was told off for breaking their silly rules, that add nothing to safety, from what i did. They were truly overbearing, too officious and because of this ruined our stay. We will never go back there again. I would advise them, if I could, to take on new roles as traffic wardens. It would suit them well. Do they not realise that their main role is to welcome people and make their stay a happy one, so they come back ? Instead it seems to be a power trip for them, imposing their will, on victims who camp there. By the way, it is illegal for camp sites to use cctv, if they are not informing campers of it's use with proper and adequate signage and why they are using it. Camp sites must follow GDPR rules by law and not spy on people without their knowledge.

      All the best Neil

      ​@mentalneil They are only interested in money. I will just vote with my feet. On one point of note from the C&MC, how can they allow electric cars to be charged outside the pegged habitation area, bringing the fire risk closer to the next pitch, which in all other cases, where there is no money involved, is not allowed ?
