🙂 Ponies and pigs in the camp
🙁 Nearly being arrested for having a horsebox!
We booked a cheeky weekend camping in the New Forest . Holland’s Wood is a great campsite with lots of tress and spacious camp sites. They allow dogs and firepits. The only word of caution is not to arrive at midnight towing an empty horsebox! We got pulled over by the police who thought we were stealing New Forest Ponies!! Once we had emptied it of camping contents we had to take it to them and they locked it up until we left!
We had plenty of visitors to our camp!
We took Nick’s boat and launched it at the nearby jetty and had a thoroughly enjoyable morning on the water. The dogs were very quiet as they were completely carsick!!
We took the boat to Henry the VIII’s tudor Hurst Castle which was very interesting to visit.
We headed back and cooked up a storm of splayed lamb on the braai – delisious!
The next morning we were ready for another day’s sailing! A couple of funny things happened. Nick had dropped us on the beach and we were standing next to a group of fisherman – when Nick got back he sailed his boat right onto the fishing lines and snapped them – it was rather amusing to watch!!
Then we all hopped on the boat so that we could head back to the jetty – except that we hadn’t realised that we were in fact in the middle of a speedboat race! Hilarious!! Never a dull moment with our Nick! Fortunately we survived and lived to see the magnificent sunset!
