“floods”

Written on: 08/07/2012

as a tourist with a caravan and awning , Ihave never encounted floods like we got in the fields like we did here . we went 25 june 2012 and stayed for 5 nights . on the thursday we went to bambrough and came back to the caravan approx 4.10 pm and evrything was under water , it was more like a boating lake than a tourers field , we got no assistance from any of the staff , they were clueless of what to do in such a situation . all they suggested was to pack up and go home bearing in mind the A 1 was closed in both directions . my son and family had to cut short their holiday as all the bedding was drenched and clothing was soggy wet . it was a very disastrous ending to their hols . so if you go caravanning as a tourer make sure you dont go to the bottem end of the field because if it rains you will get flooded out . apparently it happened 3 years ago and they still havent resolved the problem . the toilet am
nd shower blocks only get cleaned once a day so i was glad it wasnt school holidays when we went as they would have been a right mess .
