Monday 28th September – Friday 2nd October 2009
Don’t try to approach this site any other way than the route shown in the directory. All the routes apart from the one from the A6070 are very narrow and would be extremely difficult for towing outfits.
The farm seems to be hanging on to the side of a very large hill and has great views. Most of the pitches are level and are all in a terraced field above the farm buildings. The owners are assisted in running the CL by Ron and his wife who live in their caravan near the farm building and are loosely termed as the site wardens. Apparently they were touring the UK similar to myself, but arrived here and didn’t leave, if you could see the views you would know why.
On arrival you are given an information leaflet that explains all the local facilities. The nearest public transport is on the A6070 in Clawthorpe about 1 ½ miles away. There are some facilities in Burton-in-Kendal which are explained in the leaflet but for anything else you need to travel to Kirkby Lonsdale. This is not far away down the narrow country lanes that are passable with care when solo.
This is one of those sites that everyone must visit at least once during their lifetime. The views are amongst the best from any CL I have visited during my travels, and you can see for miles when you are not in the clouds.
My stay covered one of those periods that will probably become regular for most of us during the next few years – I had to re-tune my digital TV system so we could benefit from all the improvements that are taking place to the service. Not a great problem for someone who does this every four days. So at the appointed hour I re-tuned and would you believe it. I was receiving fewer channels than before the switchover. ITV 3 & 4 had disappeared, Is that progress?
