Visiting Borough Bridge, Knaresborough and York

We visited the CCC campsite at Borough Bridge. This is a nice quiet site on the banks of the river Ure. It is prone to flooding so the electrical hooks ups are raised and there are two large signs informing you of the flood alert warning. There were no alerts when we were there.

Heavy rain did cause water to collect on the pitches and roads.

This is a nice site. Outside the site is quite industrial and it is near the A1M.

We visited Knaresborough, Mother Shipton’s Cave (the oldest tourist attraction in England) and York whilst we were here.

Fabulous Findhorn aire in Moray, Scotland

We were attending a family wedding so we decided to take our campervan and stay at the Findhorn aire. We were also joined by our son and daughter in our son’s recently converted Caddy Maxi. You’ll have ready previous posts about the conversion if you’ve been following our journey.

The aire at Findhorn is brilliant. It’s clean and modern, with an electronic booking and access system. Everything worked perfectly from arrival to departure.

We arrived late the previous evening and loved the lack of light pollution. This is the view from our van at 10:30 pm. With the correct conditions you can see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately we did not on this occasion.

It’s a few minutes walk from the aire to the beach.

There is a maximum two day stay so the aire was emptying the day we left and provided a good opportunity to capture the Caddy Maxi in the foreground and our Ducato in the background.
