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 !!

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 ,

Ah, I see! This is a re-hash of the Cirencester thread. I thought that had all been said long ago🤷🏻‍♂️

Been to both sites and I don't recall any problems at either.

Also been to LW quite a good number of times, it was our goto weekend when working being so close and first time according to the records was 2005 and I can't recall any traffic lights even then.

Certainly not there in 2019.

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.

Lower Wensleydale has never had Traffic Lights.The section from the bridge to the gate is King’s Highway and out of the responsibility of the club. The bit from the gate to reception is short and has several passing places like near entrance, the dog walk and even on the hill. Folk just have to use the mirrors supplied and help each other! Not too difficulties is it?

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

InaD, I had little choice but to cross it because it was impossible to turn round and to reverse back round the corner and back up the narrow slope would have been very tricky. I was also apprehensive about weight limits but my confidence was boosted at the thought others must have crossed ok.

It was actually a nice site in a nice location.

I cannot recall Traffic Lights at LW, and we were last there a couple of years ago🤔 All it needs is good observation. I think there is a notice asking MH’s to give way to towing outfits, which seems good common sense to me. Never had any problem with all our visits there.

The notice to my recollection is solo vehicles give way to towing outfits which would of course cover MHs towing vehicles or caravans too.👍

That could be it Micky👍 Makes even more sense. I just remember reading something, but not traffic lights.
