HIGH ONN

As we are encouraged to recycle wherever possible, I've reused a post I made 2 years ago! Not a lot has changed other than we have a different MH and there are a lot less rabbits on site.

We journeyed south 50 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 5 days.

The site is on a former WW2 airfield although there's little evidence of its 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. 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's 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.
