We journeyed south 200 miles to High Onn which is located near, well nothing much at all, it's in the middle of nowhere! I suppose the nearest known town would be Stafford in the Midlands. We chose this as a stopping off place on our way home and will stay for just one day. The site is on a former WW2 airfield although there's little evidence of it's former use, just the tops of some air-raid shelters showing in the nearby fields and slabs of concrete which I assume are the foundations of buildings. Their present use now being hard standings for the caravans and motorhomes. None of the runways now exist as they were all demolished and the land returned to agriculture at the end of the war. The buildings however were subsequently used as accommodation for displaced Polish persons up to 1963.It is quiet except for the birdsong and not frequented by many families with children as it doesn't have a toilet block- we have to use our own facilities.
The weather was good when we arrived at lunch time, however by evening we had a few spots of rain. Timmy really enjoyed the dog walk area which is enclosed and remote from any roads- it meant he could run free! He spent most of the evening looking out of the windows for rabbits and squirrels
