Set off Friday 1pm to Freemantle Park farm CL (RG26 5UD, Hannington, Hampshire) for 2 nights (12pn with EHU) 31st July to 2nd Aug with Ali and Julie to see the Highclere Battle Prom concert on the Staurday evening. We had a reasonable journey (only 50 odd miles) arrving after Ali had just setup.
The site access was a challenge with single track roads unsuitable for HGVs all over the place, we successfully followed the directions after one turn around, but Ali came in down the unsuitable route apparently not something he is going to repeat. The worst for us was the last couple of hundred yards which involved a stretch between high hedges about 2.5m apart (van is 2.3m).
Had a meal outside Friday evening, awoke refreshed. I decide to christen the shower, which worked very well although the water pressure is a bit low.
Had a BBQ off for lunch cooking all the meat we had brought along with salad and coleslaw. Set off for the Proms about 15:40 arriving about 16:10 (doors opened at 16:00) the carpark was probably about 2/3rds full already, setup table and chairs and awaited the entertainment (people watching). Best bt the Spitfire flypast over Highclere and the setting Sun, the 1812 and some of the truly awful singing.
Very good weekend
Freemantle CL
- Rural, access single track roads, 1 mile to pubs but not an easy walk!
- Very tidy, great views, EHU (2 posts of 3 sockets). CWD, drinking water and bins, no seperate water for CWD. Right next to the Hannington Aerial tower so reception for TV and phones good.
- 12pn with EHU
