Netflix at Holywell

Holywell dunes

We got up after eight so Lottie must have been as tired as her owners. We set out to walk Lottie at Holywell beach but on arrival at the NT car park we had to wait to see if our Motor Home could be parked as most of the car park was cordoned off.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“Oh that area is need for the film crew... they are filming a new Arthurian Series for Netflix.”

“So they are stables then?” I pointed to la long marquee with stable like doors.

“Yes there will be horses charging along the beach in the film.”

Meanwhile his friend had moved the barriers sideways into the film set area giving an extra row of vehicles.

The space was instantly filled by us several cars and another motor home.  We had to walk alongside the temporary road that had been laid down to get the film vehicles in place.




When we crossed the river Lottie insisted on going in for a drink. thirst satisfied we walked along the beach returning up into the deserted dunes.

The clouds started building quickly while we were walking back.  By the time we reached our daughter’s who was preparing lunch it was raining.

We relaxed after lunch until the rain stopped and then set out for a walk with the whole family. By the time we arrived at Goss Moor it was drizzling again. Lottie insisted on getting out so we waited for the family at the start of the path as cows were preventing us going further.

By the time they arrived it was raining heavily. Our daughter jumped out from the driver’s seat and jogged over holding a small child’s coat over her head and shoulders.

“I like the rain gear” I said.

“It’s Verity’s. Her coat was on top.

Nobody wants to walk in this.”

The rain was increasing as she spoke.

“We’ll see you later then,” Van-Man said. Fortunately the cows had moved away from the path so we followed the track until we met a large herd. We retreated gladly.

and down the other side

We had an entertaining evening with the family. The rain couldn’t prevent that.

We were fortunate to pitch in the dry and hook up to the electricity before the rain pelted down again.
