Visited Clacton today, what a contrast to France.
Car park on the sea front £4.40 for 4 hours, and it was empty.. so turned out and headed north.
Free parking along the prom was full, lots of motorhomes and one RV parked up.
North prom was quieter so parked up to take the dog a walk and look for a toilet ... what a joke, they were all closed, after a 15 min walk finally found one at the pier .. the smell was enough to turn your stomach.. does bleach cost so much ? oh:
Bought an ice cream cone for Chaz £1.60 .. another rip off
Headed north toward Frinton in the hope of finding a place for a pic nic.. finally found a beautiful country park with beach parking just outside Clacton and it was all but deserted ..
then saw the Pay and Display .. £1 per hour .. so dug deep and bought a ticket .. under the watchful eye of a parking attendant .. and of course there was a height barrier, 5ftr 9in .
Four or five old wooden pic nik tables were dotted about, none usable, all trashed and burned out.. so at £24 for a days parking it must be the most expensive grass in the UK ..
What a waste, a great place for an aire but not even allowed to day park :Angry:
What a sad excuse for a holiday resort, run down rip off Clacton ... no facilities for motorhomes, but plenty of expensive car parking..
why does the UK not wake up .. no wonder we head off in droves to France and beyond .:Angry:
