Recently visited two sites and the differences were startling. Stopped for a couple of nights at Chapel Lane and, having ben there many times, was disappointed by the run down appearance of the site. In spite of having 70 occupied units, only the small ( 3 male wc's) was open! Both this block, and the slightly larger one, are ancient, with shower water running across the floor, poor ventilation, discoloured grout and a general air of decay. Most of the hard standings are covered in weeds and the tarmacked areas have months of organic debris lying about.
On then to Hawes and what a difference. This site is looked after to the nth degree and is beautifully presented by the hardest working team of wardens I have observed in a long time.
I notice that planning permission has been applied for for camping pods. Members have Caravans or Motorhomes and do not use pods therefor why are they needed? The money needed for projects like this should be used to upgrade poor sites which DOES benefit members. Site fees are now very high and I for one resent poor sites!
