Total surprise of the area...great
Hi...Just been to the Blackshaw site for a few days...marvellous place.
We were totally surprised by the area ...never been to the region before ..our journey to the site via Buxton from Chesterfield was a total feast of views.
We arrived on site to be met by Emma who was so helpful ..the pitches were mostly level and well drained ,gravel,..some had recently been refurbished.
We got a pitch by the dog walk ..this had recently been overlaid with bark and the Jack Russell loved to push his nose everywhere.
We asked about the local 'eating' pubs that take dogs and were pointed to the 'Lazy Trout'..couple of miles away at Meerbrook...lovely menu and food and we were made welcome with the dog...so were about another 6 owners.
We walked the Lake at Titteshaw and this was most joyful with plenty of birdlife ...not too strenuous but a few hills in places.
We thought we had blown the overload fuse on our pitch but it turned out that our internal fuse was the culprit...Anthony on site was most helpful to sort it tho'.
All the toilets and showers were immaculate, clean and fresh and next time we will definitely use the excellent 'dog wash' facilities
Locally the area is enchanting...we went to the 'Hollybush 'pub and were surprised to find it had TWO canals by the side and excellent menu ..
All in all a great three nights...we will be back for possibly a week next time ...so much to see
