What a lovely christmas break. We expected rain and we expected it may be cold but what we didn't expect was 60-70mph winds for 12 hours all at once, very exciting it was. The next morning we moved to a pitch where we would be able to put the motorhome cab and the main weight of the vehicle straight on facing into the wind. All this was orchestrated by one Phillip Bastow the owner of the site. Lovely surroundings here with unbelievable drinking water pressure along with a floor grated grey waste access for motorhomes. The black waste looks very new still with a metal hinged cover and hosepipe. Barnard castle was a lovely place with loads of different private shops and businesses along with a backup from Morrisons and the coop. We will certainly return soon.
