Maintenance 2009

October 2010 Leaf removal to prevent build up of mud.
September 2009 Annual maintnance of campers' road track.
Drainage and road surface. small digger








Another 40 tons of road surfacing delivered this year, for the 3 turning points.
We spend a few hundred £'s a year on this.
There's about 500 metres of this road to tend to.
So we charge a £6 one off, car entry fee for the whole of the campers' visit or £3 for their day visitors' cars.

Bo'ness steam train

An extremely agreeable day outing.
Only 12 miles from your campsite.
Run by enthusiasts & volunteers.
Get your ticket punched.
Everyone along the embankments waves to you on the train.
Well worth the £9 or £7 concession.
You can buy a stationmaster's hat in the shop.

Using 2 trailers to carry there camping equipment.
3 punctures later.... Where do Edinburgh residents like to visit in Fife?
Answer - Pittencrieff park and Burntisland baths with flumes - only it was closed due to flooding.
