Trip 4: April 2025, Kilnsea,Spurn Head. It took us 2.5 hours to get to Kilnsea including a quick rest break. We were soon set up although I do wish we had a windbreak with us for a bit more privacy. We walked to the coast and passed the pub and out onto Spurn. The idea …
Trip 17: October 2024. WashBrooke Farm, Fenny Bentley We found our pitch but it was quite steep and we broke a ramp trying to get level. The warden allowed us to change our position which is better and we managed to pitch without the broken ramps. We are still -1° out but we can cope …

Trip 10: Pateley Bridge, July ‘24 Our journey to Pateley Bridge took us 3 hours but we managed to miss any big hold ups on the A1, although south bound was a different story. We chose a spot and quickly set up before eating our lunch. After an hour or so of reading we went …
