252. Canned

Cannes

Villecroze to Cannes

Set up on a very large site

Waiting for the buggy

Short drive today meant that although we departed late, as always, about two in the afternoon, we arrived shortly after three so had plenty of time to set up in the sun and warmth which was a lovely change. Although the site welcomes twin axle caravans it was a tight show getting down the tiny little lane down the hill to our allocated site, lead by a man in a golf buggy with Jacqueline and Fyfe on a RT watching the back of the caravan for its swing making contact with poles, trees, signs or, heaven forbid, another camper. There was much grinding of the rear jacks as the undulations of the road as it dropped through sharp corners. The biggest was turning off the road, I could see the white gouges in the road while we were waiting for the man in the buggy. If it weren't for the significant ride height flexibility the Disco offers with its air suspension there would have been a lot more grinding at the back and front of the Giantavan, depending on the undulations. Looking at the jacks when setting up I notice that one foot is almost worn through. A job for a man with a welder!

After setting up, with resistance from the children who wanted to swim in the beautiful, deserted camp pool, we went for a drive through Cannes and along the beach front. Certainly didn't disappoint and Fyfe got his Ferrari quota for the day.
