Obviously members that complain about poor or narrow access to club sites have never been to Low Wensleydale site or the Kendal site ,I have not seen any complaints about these site ,perhaps is that us northerners are better drivers and can  managed them !!

The "worst' club site for approach for us is the one at Derwentwater. The main road in needs a strong nerve and then the approach over the bridge at Grange village and through there can be tight. I know they have widened the actual entrance to the site due to the number of "accidents" that happened to those that misjudged the turn, Northerners included.

Otherwise I hope the OP was said tongue in cheek as these territorial chest thumping comments are tiresome.

Been to both sites several times. It’s often, and the case for both of these I think, that the first time is always the worst, particularly after listening to the comments of a timorous few. Thing is, I’d bet that after all these years there have been very few really challenging incidents at either. After all, aren’t we courteous and helpful to our fellow travellers and anticipating problems may just be more of an issue than the approach itself. Once you’ve done these approaches a couple of times you know the score and no real problems!

 TW and SteveL, Metheven appears to be able to access it. Might be you cannot process MP4 video?

See my post above, PD. 

I’ve viewed it on an old Pad running the previous OS.

PD, I have no problems accessing your video (Samsung tablet Android 12); that bridge isn't for the faint-hearted!  I see you gained confidence as you got near the end, speed went up from 1MPH to 5MPH  wink

Both worked ok for me on laptop.

I though other guests appeared surprised that you'd made it!

I can’t get either link to work PD.


Unless they have been installed in the last year, Lower Wensleydale does not have traffic lights. However the very narrow section with no passing places is very short and you can see if anything is coming before you start along it. I thought Fairlight Wood more challenging. I don’t recall the Kendal site being an issue, although it’s a long time since we visited.

Certainly had traffic lights in 2007/2008 Steve. The only time we've been to that site.

Last time we were at Kendal CAMC the road was very pot holed but that was probably 8 years ago.

So there seems to be plenty of site with poor access roads ,so why are there so many comments about the access to cirencester park ,
