Revisit to Hawes
We have been to this site a number of times because of its location, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Six years on from our last visit, there have been some changes, including better marking for the site one way system - just a shame that some drivers and cyclists consider it's only for other people and not for them! Main bugbear was the usual one, not restricted to this site but universally on Club sites it seems - speeding! We happened to be sited on the stretch of the site road leading to the new exit - another change since our last visit - and very few, if any, outfits kept to the speed limit. How hard can it be to drive on tickover, or cycle at walking pace?? Another interesting new to us feature, also causing some confusion, is the two lane entry road to the site barriers. In general it works, but we saw more than one outfit going out via the entrance. I'm pleased to find that the system of meeting the outfit, checking you've booked to stay, finding and pitching first before going to the site office to pay and get the barrier key, has been adopted here, like the other sites we've visited this year. One criticism, which has been mentioned in other reviews of the site, is the recycling method. A central recycling system may work very well on a small site, but this isn't the most convenient point for most people, especially those with poor mobility. Using the service points can only be better, despite the signs protesting bags being saved.
