Following a few days of rough weather, we were blessed with a journey of sunshine, albeit with some strongish winds! The journey to the site was not too bad, a bit of a holdup on the A66, but nothing drastic. We arrived at the site in good time behind a couple of other campers. I decided to try for the new pitches this stay and with the site fairly empty, this was not a problem. The usual set-up routine began, followed by replacing the smoke alarm battery to stop the ‘chirping’ 🙂
A nice walk into ‘Barney’ on Saturday. This route from the campsite takes you through Deepdale Beck and then across the river Tees into the town centre. The town itself is still looking healthy with plenty of shops and cafes, buzzing with activity, which is really good to see. Following a stop at Costa, we perused a hardware shop and then headed back to the campsite. A journey of around 3 miles in total. Weather has been fantastic, enjoying a BBQ for tea as well. Topped off with a couple of movies for the night time.
Sunday and a lot colder. Nothing planned for today, so we stayed inside and relaxed. Monday and the rain returned, although only the drizzly stuff, so not too bad! We’ve had a great weekend, not sure why Barney has not been on our regular weekend sites list, but it certainly will from now on.
