Stayed here for last 5 days because of my aunt's funeral.
A very interesting site. Excellent wardens and full of wildlife. I understand there are only 18 touring pitches the rest being taken up by storage and semi permanent pitches. Facilities , excellent.
Now it is right next to Gatwick's main runway, as advertised.
So I took the opportunity of becoming a real anorak and doing a bit of plane spotting. Breathtaking it
was until a fully ARMED police officer from the sussex police force approached me. He was built like Arny Schwarznegger (?) and his pistol did not look tame , never mind the fold up truncheon on his side.
Ok , he was very decent and just doing his job in the light of all the terrorist attacks we have suffered in recent years. No parking offence but a full identity check etc. What a shame those terrorists have now reduced our police force to checking every innocent plane spotter.
Shocked as I was . I have to welcome it but it does show what fear some quarters of the UK have to live in??
Ok , park the car elsewhere and you are welcome to stand directly beneath the flight path.
Cheers
Alan
