The Nightmare Road to Cirencester Camp Site.
Everything about this site is lovely except the stupid design of the entrance road. The old pot holed road was much better. This road is narrow, snake like with huge boulders down the side and passing points that are in such stupid positions that by the time you see something coming towards you it is too late to get into the passing point completely unless your rig can move sideways. Whoever dreamt this up obviously has no qualifications in road planning. I except that as long as you don't meet anyone than the road is just about ok, but upon leaving last friday we met a very large caravan rig coming in. He should not have been there as entrance is after 13:00 and it was only 11:20 but he was there all the same. I had a larger camper van behind my caravan and a motor home behind him. My wife had to get out to wave the oncoming rig down to get into the passing point to the side of us (which he probably couldn't see). He couldn't quite fully get in there so we had to move very slowly passed him, I reckon there was less than 2" between the side of my caravan and the back edge of him whilst all the time keeping an eye on the stupid boulders on the side of the road. If another caravan had followed the oncoming one down then I think we would still be there now. We love Cirencester Park, have been numerous times but we won't be going again until something is done with this road. As someone else said, "It's an accident waiting to happen and it's not going to be my rig that gets damaged.
