Truthful description?

What about the other lot?

They might say no problem whatsoever.

I am not sure NTH - it might or might not fit in with the way things are going but it is an option I will think of. 

It really depends on yourself just how much you want to run a CL/CS type of site and how far you want to push the issue.

In many ways I would love to run a CL again (did it in the 80s in Sussex) as there is much to share here - in particular the Barn Owls - and the peace - but I can't help wondering if the hassle is worth it - it certainly can cost a bit to set up.  I would go basic although electricity is fairly handy. 

The last time I was at the CC site called High Onn. I remarked to my wife that the access road could be a problem for inexperienced caravanners due to the  road width and lack of passing places. Certainly no room for outfits to pass each other.  We arrived mid afternoon so everybody who should have left the site would have left at noon and we met no traffic coming the other way. 

So narrow approach roads to CL's and farms  IMO is understandable,

 ,but  I would have thought that the access roads approaching a CC main site would have been made more caravan friendly particularly for those with limited towing experience.

I am not without towing experience after 35 years regular caravan usage 

From memory though the approach involes maybe 200m of narrow road with little intervisibility. Been once and shan't return.

.If the site owner/leaser has a say over the access road

I have certainly been on some CC sites that would not have been granted planning if the highway aspects had come to me for checking. When many were opened I suspect that aspect was more lax

Hi Pippah45..  I'm sure most members would welcome a new CL in the network - especially if you have wonderful wildlife to share from your potential site.  Our CL is on a single-track farm drive and we simply manage the access by ensuring anyone leaving is gone by 11am and new arrivals don't come before 12.  It seems to work fine (7 years).  We have also added a couple of passing places (as you suggested you did on yours).  

I'd happily discuss this with you and see if my connectiosn at the Club can assist, as (for my sins) I'm a Nominated Member of the Council.  Please email me on tedhj@btinternet.com   

I would also add that as a highway engineer in Cheshire I have, when still working, designed passing places on narrow roads in similar circumstances. These were within the highway and although done to a reduced standard compared to the main highway construction were not without cost. Is the narrow access over highway land?   

In the latest CC magazine there are reviews of CLs associated to pubs.  The review of one of the CLs is a bit glowing although the access road is terrible and they charge £18 a night!  The one and only review of the CL by a member highlights this issue and warns people of the access road. 

IMHO this CL is not accessible for a twin axle caravan and we would not dream of taking our caravan down that road.  Even with a single axle there is a good chance you coudl do what the chairman did to his caravan. 

The CL itself is very nice, but when we visited about a year ago without the caravan, it seem to be an overflow car park for the pub.

No way would I go to a CL that kicks me out by 11 am

your choice of course but if narrow access is a problem then it makes sense.  Not a problem for us as even if we are close to home we leave site by 10am, our choice!
