This is night No.60/2018 touring in my caravan. This is my second night at The Beeches CL near Tayport. It was a rather grey day, all day.

I've been here once before, a number of years ago in my campervan. It's a great location, handy for the shopping in Tayport and right next to Tentsmuir Forest. When I arrived, I had the huge field all to myself. Perfect weather for the solar panel. There's been some improvement since I was last here.
