Brooks on Tour

We returned to Morn Hill following a very enjoyable trip in May.  On picking up the caravan from storage we had a problem with the motormover and ended up having to man handle the caravan onto the towbar as we don't have space to reverse if all of our storage neigbours are on their pitches.  We phoned Webbs caravans in Salisbury en-route.  Webbs suggested we call in to their service centre.  Webbs sorted out our motor mover problem and we were soon on our way to Winchester.      The weather was warm although the sunshine was intermittent. We chose to pitch on the lower site again and although the road noise seemed louder than we remembered it didn't bother us. The sky was very unusual with interesting cloud formations.  We found a four leaf clover on our pitch.  Hoping this is good luck. Wednesday we needed to stock up the fridge so made our way to the local supermarket.  We spent most of the afternoon snoozing and readi...

We arrived at Morn Hill Site on the outskirts of Winchester in just under 2 hours despite the heavy traffic and us going the wrong way twice!  The road from the A303 to the A34 South is not clearly signed and we ended up going North.  We also missed the caravan club site entrance and had to find a suitable turning place on a busy dual carriageway.  On arrival at site we found that some Alde heating fluid had again leaked from the header tank, this has been an ongoing problem for us with no one really knowing why it happens. Morn Hill is an all grass site, the site is split in two, the upper site (where the site office is) is flat. The lower site is on different levels each "site" has a facilities block.  There are lots of trees and the main road runs along the side of the site, I think road noise is more noticable on the upper site but we were not really aware of it from our pitch on the lower site.  Friday night there was torrential rain acommpanied by thunder...
