Our LPG gas ran out this morning and without gas or electricity, we couldn't keep the fridge/freezer operating. We could have taken the one spare pitch with power but decided that it was time to move on.
On our way we stocked up again with supplies in Asda. In Haverfordwest we asked about LPG in the garage at Morrisons but they didn't know of anywhere. We then found a Texaco garage and they weren't at all sure but suggested another garage. Fortunately, a man behind me in the queue asked me what I was looking for and he suggested that there might be a garage on the road to St. Davids. He phoned his father who used to run the garage and still lived next to it. Yes, they did have LPG! The man was on his way to his father's house for Sunday lunch so he suggested that we followed him in the motorhome. He was very good, driving at a sensible speed and even driving twice around a busy roundabout to ensure that I didn't lose him! Three miles outside Haverfordwest we arrived at the garage and we filled up with nearly 20 litres of LPG, enough to keep us going for a number of weeks. Our experience of Wales has been of lovely, friendly people but this was exceptional. Needless to say, I thanked him very much for his help.
We wanted to investigate the coast north of St. Davids and south of Fishguard and I had identified a campsite in the small village of Trefin (pronounced and sometimes written as Trevine) and we plotted a route across country. The Prendergast Caravan Park is quite small and only has space for about 8 tourers (and only 3 with power) but it is a very neat and well cared for site. For a site with such good facilities, including a laundry block with washing machine and tumble dryer, the charge of £10 per night including power represents excellent value. We booked in for 5 nights but may well decide to stay longer.
We chose a pitch next to the tiny stream running through the site and passed the electric cable under the footbridge to reach the hook-up point in the next field.
