Lovely site in great location but vehicle and bike speeding needs addressing
This is a site in a stunning location, with super staff. Close to the country park and it's beautiful beach with easy access to the Millennium cycle route for perfect off road cycling.
However, the Club needs to urgently address the speeding/road use issues (vehicles and bikes), especially on the inner road past the toilet block where there are no speed bumps, before there is a serious accident.
Especially worrying were the children riding at very high speeds, some on high spec bikes, round the one way system the wrong way, with no regard (or use of any bike bells) for the safety of pedestrians, other site users or indeed themselves. The stretch of road without speed bumps, forms a loop with the outer road, and is therefore just too much of a temptation for young riders for racing - despite there being a much better option to do this on the newly opened National Closed Road Circuit, within the park and a few minutes ride from the site!
For the record, we are grandparents, and keen cyclists and we love to see children out on their bikes.However been nearly run down by them, on a regular basis, does not have the same appeal.
