I am going on a 5day coach trip to western super mare in July. I'm not sure what clothes to take with me. At the moment we have this beautiful weather but it could all change by the time I go. I'm going with a friend to a pontins holiday camp so not a luxury break. What would you take clothes wise. There is entertainment every evening and we have an excursion to Cheddar Gorge and Bath. Should I cater for possible chillier, wet weather or just pack my summer clothes. I dont want to take loads that i will bring back unworn. What would you take???

A light rain mac would suffice. I'm sure the camp itself may provide umbrellas?

I've been to Butlins in Skeggy in terrible winter weather so I know how to get indoors as much as possible!

This camp is a mile or two from Weston-super-Mare town centre, but there is a bus that runs between those points. Your OAP bus pass means you can use these for free. So, if you need anything get that bus and pop down to the town centre. Inside the small arcade - Sovereign Centre is both Roman and Bon Marche, plus others, for you to purchase any other clothes you may need. Wednesday is Market Day and several nice, clothes stall are there each week.

Plenty of shops in Bath, from the usual High Street stuff (a huge M&S and Primark plus classier/independent shops too and all close together as well as close to the Baths if you go there). Not many at Cheddar and if you go up the hill it could be windy/chilly. Years since I went to Weston, not an endearing place if I recall. Plus the Holiday camp will sell basic stuff. Enjoy!
