Monday 31st August – Friday 4th September 2009
The final approach to this site is narrow in places but because of numerous passing places it did not present any problems. The only thing that needs to be mentioned is that you need to ensure that your best china is well secured as the road between the B5277 and Meathop resembles a ride on a big dipper if you drive too fast. Reception is in the middle of the site but a novel little roundabout allows you to look for a pitch in any direction after booking in. Much of this site is on hardstandings and the recent wet weather had made the few grass pitches unusable.
Reception stocks a few basic provisions but everything else is available in nearby Grange-over-Sands. If you find it difficult to live without a giant supermarket you will have to travel further afield to Kendal. This site also has a visiting fish and chip shop van and I am not sure it was the same one that was at Low Park Wood so we never tried it just incase.
Realistically the nearest public transport is in Grange-over-Sands were buses run between Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal. A rail service between Barrow and Lancaster also runs through the town. There is plenty to do within driving distance of this site and full details can be found in the onsite information room. Judy [who was on a weeks holiday] and I did intend to visit the Hotel cum bar cum restaurant close to the site entrance but never made it.
Still haven’t found out what TV reception in Cumbria is like in a caravan with a roof top directional aerial. Once again we used the TV hook-up available on this site but you will still need a digitally compatible TV or box. I find it hard to believe the number of people who thought they would not need a didgy box because the site had TV hook-up.
