Hunger Hill Farm Campsite, nr Lilleshall

Got off to a better start today. The sun was out nicely when we left so the shorts were on. We arrived at Hunger Hill Farm, near Telford, at around 5 pm after a 40 minute detour trying to avoid the M6 Toll Road.

Nice little certificated site. Just a field wiportakabin toilet block and Elsan disposal point and Farm shop selling home produced Beef and Pork and homemade burgers and sausages. There were a couple of camping pods on the far side of the field, and so far only 2 tents and 2 caravans. Site owner Ted came to meet us and said to pitch anywhere we liked.

We pitched against the hedge about 200 metres away from the toilet block. TV reception was very good. The sun had deserted us by now but it did stay dry whilst we pitched the awning. Mad had forgotten to get the bacon out of the freezer, so we had a quick Trip to Aldi, about 6 miles way. The had camping and caravanning gear on sale, so we bought a breathable groundsheet for the awning for £20. By now the heavens had opened and it seemed to rain all night. Had pizza and salad for tea and settled in for a little TV, wine and beer. The TV reception was exceptionally good.
