Er, not sure I understand your question!!! Combine harvester harvesting in the field behind until the early hours, dogs in kennels barking all night and peacocks on site cooing in the early hours!!!  Would that not disturb you?!!!!

We have got a rant also, just come home from a week in Whitehill Park, Paignton,on the day we arrived there must have been a meeting of Subaru owners we counted 20 u can imagine the sound of all their big bore exhausts, a few of them stayed for the whole week which i suppose by then we blocked the noise out.Our other neighbour carried on playing loud music one night and then decided to sing along until 1.35am we did complain this time. We all enjoy a good laugh and good music but there is a limit to the time and the comfort of your surrounding neighbours.Sorry to have a moan.(

Peacocks and combine harvesters are part of country life.  If there is rain forecast then the combines have to work through the night in order to get the harvest in, otherwise the farmer will face the huge cost of grain drying plus a lower price for grain with a high moisture content.

All part of camping in the country at harvest time, and complaining about it is a bit like complainingn about the dawn chorus or a cockerel crowing!

hiya all. looks like we had a lucky escape this weekend. originally wanted to go to sherwood forest on a return visit.  but were fully booked up for ehu. so went to trentfield farm instead. where we had a fantastic weekend. so peaceful and not full so we had loads of room. the only noise we had was the combine harvester. but knowing what farmers go through when their corn cant be cut, because of the weather, we were happy with the sound and it beats drunken noisy yobs. it is after all part of the country side and a very welcome sound. there was also a large barge went past about 11.30, but then again im at the side of the river in the middle of the counrtyside. my idea of heaven.

just remembered what the information book from trentfield park said, something along the lines of  "if inconsiderate noise from unruly campers in the night, ring the site phone, or go to the house whilst its going on,dont wait till morning to complain about it, its too late then!" cant remember the exact wording but it made me smile and felt very secure knowing i had someone just a phonecall away as ive had some spoilt nights elsewhere in the past.
