We stayed at Unity in July, its a wonder the miserable faces of the wardens on the yellow field didnt frighten any burgulars off!! Its easy targets for thieves though everyone out of their vans enjoying themselves, we alwways keep a look out for people we dont recognise snooping around, we should all be more vigilant these days!!

When they catch em they will let them off with a slap on the wrist and send them on holiday.50 lashes would better i think.i dont think they would steal anything else.

I've twice visited friends up at Northam Farm during the day in August and never once been challenged entering or exiting the site.  You can just drive right on in with no barriers or security at all.

We were at Unity Farm the week before last. The biggest problem they have is that they are only a few miles from Weston Super Mare which I was told a few years ago has more drug rehabilitation centres per square mile than anywhere in the UK. Whilst this may mean they have all been rehabilitated quickly, I suspect it suggests they have a very big problem.

The link did say the thieves operated between 11.00pm and 4.00am, so the people were inside asleep at the time. Quite frightening when you think about it.

Yes you can in the day time Ali but at night there is a secruity guard on the entrance all night and yes they do check who's going in and out.

Ah I see!  Sadly though thieves don't discriminate between day and night and if they are having probs maybe a barrier with a swipe card would help?

The site we are on is tiny but we have an RFID card and the barrier is always down, without exception.
