We had a walk to a Lidl (Mick had found it out in the car earlier), to get a few things we needed and also some beer and wine, on the way back we had a walk by the mariner. Later, Mick thought the wine was disgusting and I thought the beer was not very nice at all, this put me off going into Lidl for quite a long tine. Now I know that Lidl do very good beers and wines and we were just very unlucky this particular time.
Back at the side we had some time in the pool. The weather was good until the late afternoon when the wind started to get up and it continued to get stronger through the evening, until it was a full blown storm by the night.
Mick & Bren eventually decided to take the tent down and bunk in with Nicole and Tim. Tim and I attempted to secure a tent that was blowing right over but as it had been erected incorrectly it was impossible to do anything. Our own awning "is not for use in strong winds", according to the bumf that came with it but we put some heavy objects on the skirt and hoped for the best.
We watched films in the cabin again that night.
Ralph and his lot where supposed to be arriving that night (the others didn't know though, it was still a surprise for them) but he had been held up by the fact that there were no ferries running due to the bad weather. He eventually texted me from the site gate about 06:00, as the gates are locked on a night they had to wait until 08:00 to get in but I had a walk over to see them and brought the girls back to the van for a sleep.
Day twelve or Day fourteen
