We spent a peaceful night in the car park. I wanted to drive past Esbjerg and then up the west coast which looked interesting on the map. There are two quite large inland stretches of water with spits of land between them and the sea. There is a road over the spits. In fact, there was more land either side of the road than there appeared on the map. On the right (the inland side), there was flat farm land with many wind turbines in view. On the left, for miles there were holiday chalets, many of them thatched, quite randomly placed and with an occasional holiday village along the way. Beyond these, to the left, were high sand dunes, covered with marram grass, with the sea level on the other side. We drove for quite a few miles along a very straight road. The traffic was very light.
Our destination was a free camper stop on the coast, with an indicated ten spaces. The Camperstop book listed it under Lemvig, although the town itself is some miles away. What we found was a long, busy car park overlooking a great beach stretching a long way in each direction. We bagged a flat space for the camper, having arrived early afternoon. Most of the other spaces were already taken. We've whiled away the afternoon and evening in the sunshine.

We decided that our walk around Ribe
yesterday was sufficient to soak up the atmosphere of the very lovely
picturesque little town, and G also went back at 10 pm to follow the
Night Watchman on his rounds .
A much cooler and more comfortable day,
continuing the drive up the west coast of Jutland along a couple of
strands, and we are now parked in a large but isolated beach car
park. It was full to overflowing with cars when we arrived,
unsurprisingly for the first Sunday of school holidays, but only
campervans are allowed to stay overnight. The beach is lovely, the
sea calm, and the views up and down the coast beautiful. Reminiscent
of Norfolk.
Geoff had a walk, I had a lovely swim,
so we are both happy. With water, loos and outdoor cold showers, and
a washing up station all provided, and all free it may be hard to
drag ourselves away.
