I know when we find them we like to keep them quiet for ourselves But can anyone recommend a good CL in the south lakes or Yorkshire dales area? Preferably with EHU though not essential. More importantly nice walking, and peaceful, maybe a pub nearby. I promise I won't tell anyone else

I must say
We just arrived at woody kiln farm cl
Outstanding facilities
16 amp hook up , water tap and tv & satellite hook up on all pitches 3 hardstanding 2 grass .And super fast wifi (fast enough to stream) and all for £10 a night . Owners cannot do enough for you . 20 minute walk to the beach .
Chose this one as it's perfect for a part of the pembrokeshire coast path which we have not done .
Pub in village which is a 2 minute stroll (not used yet) a mini market just over a mile away .fair views from all pitches .
Only downer is a rookery a field away .
Not in the book yet .Google woody kiln farm
It's in my top ten of cl's I have stayed at

Beg pardon! I forgot to mention site name. Ashfield House Caravan Site., under Pickering in book. Basic facilities, taps, Cdp, but free reliable wifi. Location is all in this instance! 
Crows as well, and seagulls. But we love them, give me natural sounds above traffic, city noise, TVs, anyday!

How have all the M/Hs managed on the wet grass?

MHs have been fine. We got the gate pitch we were on last year, but as a large MH with new owners was due in, we helped out by moving onto CL area, but up by hedge near facilities, and put our MH on its waffles, just in case. (We had Jeep with us as well).
Smallish PVC Autosleeper walked ground carefully and pitched up accordingly, with no problems. Large van arrived with a pretend 4x4, he unhitched and decided to use motor mover. Bad move, before he could even get it moving his van had sunk, he didn't check
the ground before unhitching. OH got him out with Jeep, put his van on pitch, then he nearly got car stuck in same place! 
Smaller van arrived later, again unhitched and proceeded to twirl van around with mover, ensuring pivot wheel sank in good and proper! Bit of shoving got him out and into pitch. He
was then given some wood blocks to put wheels on to prevent any more sinking.
All visitors had been told ground was a tad soft. In truth it wasn't that bad, but just needed some care and forward planning! Such as a proper 4x4, walk the ground first, use your big mover rather than your hand gadget and bring some blocks to put wheels
on! Great spectator sport though, and at least we were able to help! Ground had dried up greatly as I left in Jeep, OH won't have
a problem!

Yes, Jeep and me at home! OH had fun, wasn't too stuck, but needed a bit more than owners car to give it a push. We suggested helping, to avoid damage to grass, they were a very nice couple, looking a tad worried! Very busy all CLs around, lots of folks
up there to see Flying Scotsman. That looks a nice CL at Fox and Rabbit, but a bit pricey. HS though I think!
If your Oh can't sort them out with the Jeep then there would certainly have been some problems. Hope they
thanked him in an appropriate manner.
Guess you are back home again, by now.
