Sunday 18th October – Thursday 22nd October 2009
I didn’t have any problems approaching this site. The climb out of Otley is a bit steep in places if you arrive from this direction. The gate to the CL is off the farm track but is far enough down to allow all outfits, irrespective of length to pull off the main road. The field is mainly grass and is sloping for most of the area. The pitches at the bottom are more level and have a little hardcore; these were popular with motor homes. Front wheel drive vehicles may find it difficult to reverse outfit uphill onto pitch when ground is wet.
The market town of Otley has all services including two supermarkets although there is a convenience store and takeaways in the suburb of Newall to the north of the River Wharfe. There are no local bus services that pass the site and the walk back from town is steep in places.
TV reception was a little hit and miss from the pitch I was using. This I believe was because the farmhouse was in the way of the signal. Digital UK say the new aerial in the adjacent field will be switched on in 2011 and transmit a digital signal to the area. I didn’t use my satellite dish because of the many mature trees surrounding the site. One motorhome with a rooftop dish had reserved a particular pitch because of a gap in the tree line which allowed a clear view of the satellite. They must have been before.
A convenient pub a few hundred yards down the road was under new management and hopefully will continue trading in the future. Meals are available and it has a good selection of hand pulled beers.
Analogue signal was poor from my pitch [3]
No digital signal from pitch.
£8.00 per night.
