You may or may not have read ours travels to Bridlington this year, in fact last month, but we forgot to tell of our beach combing. We walked along the high tide marks and I found a tennis ball and what I call an extra bouncy ball. Sue found a play mobile figure of a …
Trip 13, August 2024. Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club , Bridlington. We arrived at the campsite after a 2.5hr journey and we managed to get a pitch along the fence.
