We recently had a four day break at a well known and popular site in Brean to break up our trip back from Cornwall. We stayed there once before, out of season and had a lovely peaceful time. However we had an absolute disaster this time which didn't help with the kids being off.
Our field was full of scruffy transit vans pulling dirty scruffy old caravans and the people weren’t any better. Looked like a travellers site and sounded like one too!! We even had to move pitches after getting smart arse comments from some of the adult idiots. However the main issue was loads of 5-10 year old kids razzing around on electric scooters at nearly 30 mph from 7am to dark. It’s a serious problem and an accident waiting to happen and something needs to be done about very young children racing around on e-scooters at high speeds. I mean these kids (none of whom had any PPE) we travelling at serious speeds and one nearly took me out as they travel virtually silently. I could go on! Beech / sunsets were as beautiful though as ever. Simple pleasures.
