A super early start saw us heading up the lush Northumberland coastline in good time, arriving at our chosen site slightly before 12pm. Potland Farm, we’ve been here a few times before as one of our chosen local sites. We were warmly greeted by Mike as usual and began setting up on pitch 3, a new one for us! The weather was doing well, some sunshine breaking through. We initiated our set-up routines and were soon enjoying a rather long Saturday due to the early start.
Sunday, and heading out for church we discovered something new, namely the padlocked gate at the entrance! Recently installed since last year, the site now has a height restriction barrier along with padlocked gates. The padlock is accessed via a number, which Mike forgot to give us, so we had to disturb him early doors, although a fellow caravanner came to give me the number. After accessing the gates, we soon made haste on our travels. Upon return our only fellow caravanner had gone, leaving the site to ourselves! I washed the ‘van as the weather was still very good and then settled for the evening. Another smashing little weekend away. To note, there is now toilet roll in the wash block, another first!
The site has big pitches and EHU is 10A. A toilet is provided along with fresh water, waste water disposal, bins and CDP point. Arrival is via a height barrier and gates, so check this before entering. There is enough room to pull off the road before you meet the barrier, so just take care. A great CL and one we will continue to return to.
