Well it’s been nearly 10 years since we were here last, and this weekend saw us back to a Saturday departure – so a short weekend again!
Journey to the site is straight forward, only held up by the roadworks on the A1. The way back will be the A19 I decided. We arrived to the access road and with a little juggling of vehicles we got through the single track lane and into the site. We couldn’t remember much of the layout of the site, only memories of a nature walk and the river itself sprang to mind.
The site was full, so only a few pitches to choose from. We settled on #23 and set camp up. The weather was good for the day and we were able to enjoy some sunshine before retiring for the night. TV signal is poor, but there are TV points on the bollards which pulled in a perfectly good signal. Mobile signals seem fine as well. We took a stroll around the site to capture the nice weather, but didn’t get on the nature walk.
Sunday, weather wasn’t as good and brought us some rain. Shame, we would have liked to get on a walk, but we stayed in all day and relaxed. Monday soon came around and we departed for home. A shorter weekend with no BBQ – seems strange after enjoying our new longer weekends. Never mind, next one will be back on a Friday departure!
