Not the greatest views I've ever seen - but oh so handy for lovers of Black Pudding

Cracking location for a Club Site. 30 minutes easy walk into Bury (or take a bus / train)and then 30 minutes on a tram into central Manchester - off peak return tram fare £4.00 per adult. Magic. But why go into Manchester when you have Bury Market on the doorstep? Home grown Black Puddings, Rag puddings (never heard of those before) charcoal flavoured Cheddar, whimberry pie and a superb meat / fish market. Walking around the market, traders offering samples of their wares to taste - three laps and that's lunch dealt with. Although you may try a "Spam, black pudding and egg muffin" - heart attack on a plate - but it's just got to be done once in your life. You won't get that in Mickey D's! Oh, and Manchester Tarts - be careful, my sainted old mum warned me about those. East Lancashire Heritage Railway on the doorstep with your very own (almost) station. Hop on and off with hugely discounted tickets - don't forget your membership card on the train. Site facilities were generally clean is the best that can be said. Washing machine AND tumble dryer were out of action for the whole week we were there and the grass was far too long notwithstanding recent rain. There was far more than a few days growth there. Our (hardstanding) pitch, in the downpours that we encountered, became a bit of a quagmire and when mentioned to the wardens provoked a response "Someone else said that". Other pitches were in a similar soggy condition. I note that there is some attempt to rectify the drainage problem with new shingle on some pitches, but currently this is not enough and more needs to be done - and fast. Winter is upon us - and it's only August. Local pub - The Brown Cow - on the doorstep is a noisy local pub. If you don't want a noisy local pub - don't go there. But you'd be missing a varied and reasonable menu at sensible prices with friendly staff and, if you talk to the locals, they will be happy to speak with you. Huge numbers of dogs on site - generally should the Club be introducing a nightly fee for each dog so that the owners pay for any attendant costs? Site needs sprucing up a bit - location is a delight.
