This is night No.99/2018 living in my caravan. Now pitched at Yellowcraig C&MC Site in Dirleston, just along the coast from North Berwick. Taking advantage of the midweek offer of half price pitch fees, 3 nights (2 of which were discounted) totalled £40.10. I was glad to leave Bellingham in Northumberland. It was simply too restrictive for dog walking. Even a short dog walk involved a short drive. The site was also a bit shabby for my liking. What cheeses me off with these sites is that in each one I've visited over the years, the wardens tailor everything to make their work easier at the expense of hassle for paying customers. For example, the service point next to me had the waste water dump removed and a sign posted saying you have to use the only other service point across the site. Another example, at Dunbar, they've removed all the bins throughout the site so you have to traipse across the site to the entrance where the skips are located, and it's a big site....

This is night No.98/2018 living in my caravan. I'm now at Bellingham C&CC Site, situated on the ouskirts of Bellingham Village. It cost £12.95 for one night, which is reasonable considering this club charges per person, then pitch, and then a ridiculous (and robbery) £5.50 for power. If you try and book a non-power pitch, spookily they're always sold out or not available. Woke to torrential rain at around 0700. Took the dogs out into the forest a few times, I had an umbrella, but they two got soaked, twice. I'm running out of dry 'dog towels'! Had a peek out the canvas pop-up on the van a few times. It was miserable all morning, and I got a good soaking when we hooked up and left around 1200. It was about an hour to Bellingham. Pleasant enough drive along the A69 towards Hexham, then north to Bellingham. The site is OK, but the standards are far below the C&MC sites. The grounds always look a bit scabby, but maybe I'm just becoming a caravan sno...
