Weekend not long enough.
Arrived later than we usually would due to the road being closed between the Ribblehead viaduct and Hawes. We hadn't known about this and it was slightly annoying as we had no signal to contact anyone re - alternative routes and diversion signs were for roads suitable for light vehicles only. We did get through luckily as the workman were opening the route just as we were thinking about turning around and going home. Note to self - check local information as when mentioned at the site to the wardens, they had no idea about it. Anyway, usual welcome on arrival and very nice wardens pointed us towards a very good pitch that had earlier been vacated and they were spot on. It was a raised pitch overlooking units below in a very secluded area. (pitch 54). All usual club standard facilities, clean, tidy and as well maintained as possible in what I would call a wildlife haven style site. Not to prim and proper but that in my opinion keeps it fitting into the surrounding area. Some of the pitches were in need of refurbishment but it would spoil this site to have stark gravel perfect sized pitches especially within the back drop of such natural beauty. We did think that on the lower part of the site, it looked a little crammed. Great dog walking area. A walk around the site is long enough for a 'wee' walk but ample walks off site in every direction. We will definitely visit again for longer as there are plenty of places to visit. A weekend is enough for r&r however.
