Monday 11th August – Friday 15th August 2008
The weather tried its hardest to spoil my visit to this CL. There was plenty of rain with high winds and gales. All this made the site very wet underfoot and caused vehicles to cut up the grassed pitching area. I have in the past seen cars banned from pitching areas during wet weather and I think using the car park at the entrance would have helped on this occasion.
The site is set amongst trees with a river running down one side so children need to be supervised. The trees interfered with television reception during the high winds although analogue and digital reception was satisfactory during calm conditions. There is a toilet and shower block with a few brochures about the surrounding area. The shower is operated by tokens that are available from the owner at 50p.
Inspite of the weather I managed to find something to do every day of my stay. There is a bus stop outside this site on the A383 and the Trago Mills shopping complex is within easy driving distance. Newton Abbot has a busy shopping centre and I found two supermarkets, one in the town centre. The racecourse is not far away for those who enjoy horse racing.
Analogue TV signal ok during calm conditions
Digital signal lost during high winds
