Monday 14th July – Friday 18th July 2008At this site it is difficult to imagine that you are less than 2 miles from junction 25 of the M1. The views over Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire are superb and not what I expected. The helpful owner was on hand to assist with advice on the best place to pitch on this part sloping field.
On the drive down my trusty tow car had developed a minor fault and Dennis the site owner pointed me in the direction of a garage in nearby Sandiacre. The staff at R & K Sandiacre Garage were very helpful and quickly found the problem and made a temporary repair. Whilst doing this it was noticed that the fan belt was in poor condition and needed replacing. Not bad for a car that was serviced by a Nissan dealer just over 1000 miles earlier.
Because of my car problems I only managed to get to Kedleston Hall on the
outskirts of nearby Derby, however there is plenty to do in the local area. I haven’t heard much recently about The American Adventure Theme Park, however if it still exists it is not far away.A regular visitor that was on site told me that there are several good walks from this site however I did not find a bus service or any shops within walking distance.
