I was surprised to see “Site Full” as I arrived in the evening, yet there were still plenty of pitches to choose from. It seems that the Club has decided to run this site at half capacity until it can fix a transformer that supplies its electricity. I’d have been quite happy not to use EHU but such an option did not exist. I witnessed a French and a Dutch motorhome arrive speculatively and be turned away in spite of all the empty pitches. Goodness knows what they thought. The Club seems to be missing an opportunity here. European mlotorhomes do not need mains electricity. I can only assume that they cannot be trusted not to use it. Speaking of motorhomes, it is a shame that the pitching areas are not made level. The new name suggests that the Club is aware of the needs of motorhomes but that is not evident here. Even hydraulic levelling could not cope with the slope on one pitch, so it was fortunate that there were plenty of alternatives even if they were not level either. Pitching aside, this site is in a lovely location. It’s within an old quarry, set low down and surrounded by rock, so don’t expect a phone signal. It’s a pleasant stroll down into Buxton, with a choice of three supermarkets. If the strain of carrying your shopping back up to the site is too great, the wardens have thoughtfully provided the number of a taxi firm to bring you back. Even though we were prepared to move to any other pitch, we were still expected to leave by noon. As a concession it was possible to extend our visit until 2:00pm but no longer. So, although we enjoyed our stay, it seems that the only material change to the way the Club is being run has been to the uniforms. We won’t be rushing back.
