We have just returned from a 10 night stay at Grin Low.  On arrival we were greeted and welcomed by the most friendly and nice warden we have ever come across at a CC site or elsewhere (and we told him so) his explanation of the site, the facilities and the local area was second to none so despite the monsoon rain outside our holiday got off to the very best of starts. We arrived when there was plenty of choice of pitch so we chose one fairly close to the toilet block which also is home to the only water and waste point (and also the motor home service point) we felt that some other pitches were quite a long way from the facilities which may be an issue for some people. The utility block was spotlessly clean and was functional even when the site was full over the bank holiday weekend, it could do with updating but I have seen a lot worse. My only criticism would be that the water pressure was quite poor so the showers didn't knock you off your feet (shall we say). As the Bank holiday weekend approached a huge generator was delivered and was run 24/7 it was explained that during the previous two bank holiday weekends the demand for electricity was so great that it caused a power outage and the site was left with no power at all. So top marks to the CC for bringing in this contingency to ensure we were all powered up. The noise from the genny was tolerable given the possible alternative. Now down to my title. It has been mentioned that the CC are well aware of the issues with the site facilities however the lease with the council is due up soon and that the club (quite rightly in my opinion) is cautious about spending our money doing improvements until the terms of the lease are renegotiated to a satisfactory outcome so let's hope that the lease issues can be quickly resolved and then this great site can be improved further for us all to enjoy. Walking from the site is great but whichever way you go there is a hill of some sort to conquer. People have said it is an easy walk into Buxton, I would say it is a nice walk but depending on your level of fitness it could be far from easy as there is quite a hill to climb on the way back.  That said the walk (which took us about 45 minutes to the town centre) is lovely and we'll marked on good paths. Buxton itself is a very nice small town with delightful public spaces and a good selection of shops on the pedestrianised High Street. The site is literally in a hole in the ground surrounded on 3 sides by the towering cliffs of the old quarry, this is an issue for mobile phone signal and reception was not good. The worst thing ? The Crows that live in the cliffs -talk about noisy neighbours if you were allowed to go to the shops and buy a shotgun I would have been first in the queue - not funny at 4.30 a.m.to woken by their very loud crowing, give me sirens and the police helicopter noise of the city over that din any day! In conclusion a lovely site and area well worth a visit.
