It was about time we took the van for a blast down the motorway if only to get the tyres turning and the oil pumping around the engine, so we settled on a picnic on the seafront at Hayling Island. There was a stiff cold breeze blowing, but it was nice and sunny. Our first selection of a parking place was on too much of a slope which made it awkward to walk around in the van, so we put our food away and moved about a quarter of a mile further along the sea front.
Once we had found a nice level space we turned on the gas, boiled the kettle and settled down for a mug of tea. There was no need to turn on the van’s heating as the sun shining through the windscreen warmed us up nicely.
Here we are parked nice and level. We spent an hour or so enjoying the view and enjoying our lunch before heading home for dinner. Hayling sea front is a nice quiet place in the winter, it’s ideal for a long walk along the beach and what’s more – the parking is free in winter!.
Here is the view we enjoyed while relaxing over lunch.
