Just returned home from 12 days at Meathop Fell, and our first stay in Cumbria/The Lakes. Everyone said 'bring your waterproofs' - so we did, complete with wellies etc - did we need them ? No ! With the exception of our first night and following morning when we had light rain, and our last but one night, when the heavens opened, the weather was brilliant ! The site is well situated for exploring the southern lakes and small towns, easily accessible, and having visited Grange, and nearby Cartmel several times I think we both had a considerable increase in body weight! Grange has a butcher to die for, and Cartmel, the home of sticky toffee pudding needs no further explanation !! As for the site - excellent location, quiet and peaceful, with a very nice hotel/bar 5 mins stroll away. Staff could not be faulted and the 'facilities' were spotless at all times. The site is well laid out but in my humble opinion a tree surgeon could be well employed for a few days ! The site is well covered offering much shade, no doubt appreciated in the height of summer, not so good in the autumn. Some of the pitches had quite a slope, but there are plentiful blocks around for levelling purposes, so no real problem. All in all, a great break, and we will return at some stage to explore the north of the county !
