It's heathland, mostly gorse but with a few twiggy low trees.  Our pitches all have very good outlook.  They have an unobstructed FOV to within a five degrees of the horizon to east and west, southerly to about 5 degrees and north to about 5-10 degrees.  There are some trees that limit the horizon to about 15 degrees in the s/w direction.

Carole has a named plot as she's booked for longer.  None of the other plots (325/326or 327) have names on, so Mark and myself would be next to Carole, leaving 327 as the empty plot.  There is also the option of booking for longer as some of the others have in the past.  At the moment the three pitches are booked for 3 days (two nights).

I think the price is £14 per night inc. hookup but I don't think our plots for next year have TV and water points.

The only thing you'll regret is if it's windy and rainy because it's very exposed (the sea is visible from some plots).

It would be great if you could come Mike.

Hope that helps.

I think the price is £12 per night.

That's a shame. 
Is there a good terrestrial signal there? Otherwise I'll have to bring my satellite dish.

When you book do you have to pay a deposit?

I have not paid for any pitch.  They're being held under my name till I confirm the booking, at which time I'll have to pay in full.

If you want one then let me know and you can pay me when we next see each other.

Ok Mike, the pitches have been booked and paid for.

Pitch 326 - Mark    Fri 1st April 2011 for 2 nights
Pitch 327 - Robert  Fri 1st April 2011 for 2 nights
