We avoided the Easter traffic by arriving on Thursday to a friendly reception from the site team. There were plenty of pitches available on Thursday except for the serviced pitches of which we had one booked. Perhaps the Caravan Club has underestimated the demand for such pitches. Friday of course saw the influx with every pitch taken up. No need to think of food on Friday evening as the visiting fish and chip van serves up very nice grub. Local taxi companies were very willing to pick up from the site to take us in to some of the excellent restaurants in Barnard Castle for an evening meal (essential if you want a drink with your meal). The pitches are well spaced and comfortably large enough for car, caravan and awning side by side. The site is maturing nicely and although it was too early in the year to see the shrubery in leaf, it is growing well. Toilet block was immaculately kept and a pleasure to use. Almost certain we will be back again sometime. A few photos of the site can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/g0cqk/albums/72157664480316163
