Eriba Man

This is night No.59/2019 living in my caravan. The dogs and I are pitched at Pitrennie Mill, a farm CL near Fordoun. Embarrassingly close to home (!), but a really nice little site which I've passed hundreds of times on the Auchenblae to Fettercairn road.

To be honest, I was looking forward to the peace and tranquillity of a good CL. CL's (by C&MH Club rules) are 'strictly' limited to 5 outfits. I say 'strictly' because I'm absolutely sure a member visting who spotted more than 5 would definitely report it! I drove north through Aberdeen, then past Ellon, Mintlaw, and arrived here around 1230. The site is near the main Fraserburgh to ...
