As many pictures as I could grab in the first week to give a sense of what the caravan has in it and, frankly, I could have done with a decent SLR lens and a tripod. But these should give a vague idea of the internal layout and the quality of the fittings at least

A few pictures of what's in the site, which seem to focus on the outdoor swimming pool (there's an equally good indoor one) and miss everything else. I'll fill this album out a bit when the season's up and running this year.

A few of Pagham beach. I like Pagham beach: It's a great bit of coastline, blue sea and you don't get sand in your face all the time. And you can walk here. (Small) kids tend not to like Pagham beach because of the pebbles (buy jellies). If you have to have sand, head to West Wittering, which is glorious as long as it's not too gusty... About a 20 minute drive away.

The nature reserve that sits alongside the site - you can jump over the wall at the back of our van and you're in it. Not many pictures, as you can walk miles around it, but toddlers can't, hence these are all I could capture on a very brief sojourn. Every now and then something rare gets spotted and the reserve is swamped by strange bearded men with very expensive looking cameras and binoculars... even if you don't like birds, you can't help but be impressed by some of the varieties you can see here.

An attempt to pictorially represent what walking down to the Nature Reserve looks like. In essence, it's a jump over the wall and 5 minutes down the road - or you can walk to the entrance to the site and then it's more like 10 minutes. How far you then go is up to you - if you're prepared to stretch your legs, the Crab & Lobster at Sidlesham is within reach....

A few scans taken from some of the Church Farm literature - some of the site facilities and some of the caravan itself, with some frankly disturbing individuals modelling a perfect family holiday. The guy has rotten taste in pyjamas.
