    A night in the port

    December 12, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    So a very wet, and as good as dark by 2pm, winter drive East to Newhaven. Fairly mild but we had a few bursts of the heating on.
    John read that if we arrived before five, then we could stay in a lovely spot on the beach for £10. A photo from June 2022 (SEE PICS) shows how nice it was last time. But today we rocked up to 2 very closed barriers. So next stop was the pub car park but when I asked, they said 2 were already booked and they needed to keep spaces free for locals. A trip to nearby Seaford beachfront was OK but only 12hrs allowed. Ended up opting to stay parked on the port by railway station along with a few other campers. At least there's (a short walk to) posh toilets.
    Photo looks like snow but it's just heavily floodlit. Lot's of activity going on.
