The morning after the night before…

Being on the coast wasn’t exactly ideal after Storm Darragh swept through.

Our campsite was perched on a hill overlooking the sea, and while we were tucked away toasty warm sleeping in the van, we couldn’t risk putting the pop top up. The van was wobbling like jelly in the fierce winds. At one point, I found myself googling, "Can a VW camper van be blown over in gusts up to 82mph?"—the exact wind speeds Paignton was facing that night!

This morning, we met a friend for coffee and a windy walk on the beach before deciding to call it a day and head home. Even though the storm had settled, neither of us fancied braving another night of wild weather in the van.
