Within the campsite, BBQ's are permitted only when raised off the ground, properly supervised and with a suitable means of extinguishing a fire available nearby.

If you see signs of smoke or fire, call 999 immediately. Please help us protect our park, woodland and wildlife during this period of heightened risk.

Recipe of the month - Healthy Pancakes

Blog

Ingredients

• 50g self-raising flour
• 50g wholemeal or wholegrain flour
• 2 x eggs separated
• 150ml skimmed milk
• Berries, eg strawberries, blueberries
• Low-fat yoghurt

Method

1. Sift the self-raising and wholemeal/wholegrain flour into a bowl (any remaining flour from the sieve can go in too). Add both egg yolks and a splash of milk and then stir into a thick paste. You can add any remaining milk but do it a little at a time to prevent lumps in the batter.

2. Whisk the egg whites separately until they stand up in stiff peaks and then fold them carefully into the batter – try not to squash out all the air.

3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, pour in enough batter to make a pancake about 10cm across.

4. Cook for just under a minute or until bubbles begin to pop on the surface and the edges begin to look a little dry.

5. Carefully turn the pancake over and cook the other side for a similar time.

6. Add your favourite healthy snacks – we recommend blueberries and strawberries with a little low-fat fromage frais!

7. Enjoy!
