We had a fairly long drive today to the pretty seaside town of St.Valery-en-Caux. The camperstop here is very popular due to its location right at the harbour mouth with sea, harbour, town and cliff views. Being a Sunday and a fine day, the sea and harbour were very busy. Many yachts were milling around out at sea, only returning as the sun dipped towards the horizon. Not only were the boats returning home but so were the motorhomes. Apparently, many French motorhomers come here for the weekend, especially when the weather is good, the 48 hour camperstop limit being ideal for such a visit. This is an excellent camperstop and is another one that we will definitely visit again in the future.We got into conversation with an English couple who live on the Welsh Borders. They are semi retired and are keen motorhomers. Being an ex second-hand car dealer with contacts in the trade, he buys a motorhome in good condition, does it up, uses it for two years and then sells it. He aims to sell the motorhome at the end of the two years for the same price that he bought it. This means that they effectively have a motorhome for free. An excellent plan but only if you have the necessary mechanical and negotiating skills!
