What research do you do?

Whatever I can. Look on revue sites sometimes, look on Google Earth, Look on Google Maps. Most of the ones that I use have their own images also and often maps and also I read the bumph. The same sorts of thing that I would do for any private site.

I didn’t skip it at all CY, after reading IK’s-

‘£17 per night including EHU. No charge to use our Wi-Fi. Grassed hardstandings.’

i thought you must be joking because I don’t see Birch Hill Farm CL @£17 getting anywhere near club prices at all🤷🏻‍♂️

What research do you do? I have looked at the pictures of some CLs online and they look like heaven on earth, when you get to there it is a dump, good camera work. Also I have read reviews and the cl will have the most fantastic reviews, these when I have tried the site I totally disagree with them.

Recently I tried a CL at Kendal it had really bad reviews, I loved the place, fantastic view hard standing fully serviced and all for £15 per night.

Research - I check out Google Earth and the aerial views. I've often found things like the factory next door that nobody mentioned.

No grate farm. Have been to Mosergh. That is also a good spot. Only snag is from Preston you have to go through Kendal.

I didn't realise that Grate Farm has H/ S as it was only a grass field the coast time we visited, many years ago. Have just noticed that the reviews are 5 years old, and a lot can happen in that time!!

They have moved the Cl into the next field further from the farmhouse. Nice people. Also you can walk across the field using the public footpath to the garage, which has a shop selling papers and groceries.

Certainly on the list for a revisit, perhaps even this month. I wouldn't be bothering with the walk over fields in the current conditions, but could well use the lane over towards Brigsteer to take the dog.

As a CL owner, I think club members should understand if CLs don't make some return on their investment then CLs will close,and their choice of where to go will get smaller,and probably prices will go up,because of supply and demand.Whether a hobby or a business costs need to be covered or we are subsidising members stays.
