Good journey up from Stratford on Avon. Arrived Southport and first job some laundy, then a lovely hot shower (after cold showers at Stratford). Good weather so had a lovely walk along the seafront to the pier and into town for a coffee.
Pitched up site very quiet caught the ferry boat into town. In the evening decided to eat in the restaurant as it was OK last time, BIG mistake new management !!!! Fish n chips M had 2 egg chips and Honey ham £24 asked for large chips got french fries mushy peas cold and a compulsory service charge Never again, I think this site has now reached its sell by date and we will find another next time in the area. Shower the coldest since Morocco 4 years ago. And we do an average of 70 campsites a year ??!!

Caught the first ferry into town (Usually 2 an hour) as it is raining we decided to go the the cinema to See the new Avengers film GREAT. Lovely cinema with reclining seats. Came back to catch the ferry and had to wait 45 mins. as they had reduced the service to 1 an hour while we were in town…. we don’t seem to be having a good time here SO CAMPERS BEWARE at Riverside.
