Lovely site with welcoming, friendly and helpful wardens

A vist to this site is a lovely experience. Greatly enhanced by Kath and Eddie who are the most welcoming, friendly and helpful wardens. They make such a difference to the whole experience of visiting. The site itself is delightful and interesting with a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. It is brilliantly situated for road cycling with a choice of tougher routes (such as crossing Grinton Moor from either Leyburn or Redmire - or both on a circular route) or less demanding routes towards Newton-le-Willows. During a very brief stay I didn't have time to explore the running much. Both Kath and Eddie are accomplished triathletes and are able to advise on cycling and running. Yes, the facilities are rather dated and not up to modern standards. But I found them totally adequate. And they are kept spotless. There are two aspects of the site which are less than ideal, which have been mentioned in other reviews. One is the lack of wifi. There is none on pitches (no masts, and as a managed, rather than owned, site the Club is unlikely to invest in masts). The one time I tried to use my tablet sitting on the bench outside reception there was no internet connection. More serious is the access. Especially for a motorhome leaving the site for a trip out after 1.00 pm when there is a real risk of meeting an outfit coming the other way causing the motorhome to have to reverse a fair distance. Those with a car need have less concern. But overall this is a lovely site with the most lovely wardens.
