 can anyone reccomend a cl Cumbria (preferably south) or west Yorkshire that has good off lead dog walks from site. Near or on a river or lake would be good but not a deal breaker. Nice rural views.

Hope the access is okay for you spk Undecided  but as Kenny has had a look and has the same size van as us ... and the same car, I don't think it's for us.  We will look forward to your report though, and hope you have a great time Smile

Similarly from us. We too were thinking of trying the site on the way home from our current trip, but will now give it a miss. Look forward to spk's review/report.

Sorry I have put people off this cl but this is my personal finding on this site.

Don't be sorry Kenny Smile  We would prefer to rely on the judgement of another caravanner with a similar outfit to ours.

Agree, LR. Surely that's what reviews are for.

Thanks spk Smile  From your description, I suspect that your outfit is considerably shorter than either ours, Kenny's, or nellie's, so access hopefully won't be a problem for you. I'll still be interested to hear how you go on, and your report will no doubt be of value to many members. Hope you have a great weekend Smile

thanks Lynn

I am experienced in driving all manner of outfits and vehicles incl MH, wagons, plant, tractors and larger / longer outfits than my current one so I will try to ascertain the difficulty of a larger set up whilst navigating my way there

well this is a great site I will post a review later so will stick with the specific report on access.

don't panic Mr Mainwaring.

you turn down the side of a church in the village and after fifty yards a ninety degree left turn over narrow bridge, it is no problem at all I do not think any outfit would struggle as long as you take it wide, bloke on site with 7m van and 4x4 agreed its no problem. The access road is single track (with some passing places) but not narrow enough to scrape sides of van on hedges but it is narrow and meeting oncoming traffic (unlikely as it is) could pose a problem so I would say if you are not confident at reversing it could be stressfull. Once you reach the site its an easy but tight left turn.

so yes access is narrow but no worse than many other sites so unless you are inexperienced I would not wory about it.

 

hope that helps
