We had visited a few times soon after the site opened but stopped going because there was a young local element who regularly toured the site on bikes causing trouble for the wardens and on occasion members. We just didn't feel safe at the time so after a several years we thought we should give it another try. What a surprise! The club have (unlike at Bridlington) have allowed the trees and shrubbery to grow thus making the stark new site much more pleasing. The wardens really care for this site even washing posts etc after strimming the grass. They are happy to have a chat no matter how busy they seem. Can recommend the canal walk to Tipton lock although the refreshments are basic they are cheap. Be aware of the path over the lock gates - our dog misjudged the narrow path and fell in! The market in Chesterfield is also worth a visit. There was however one negative - a big one for us that the club can't do anything about. We arrived Thursday and it was so so noisy. The site is next to an industrial estate and that along with the proximity of the M1 made the noise pretty intolerable. Even overnight, the earplugs had to be used. Friday offered no relief. By Saturday it was much much quieter and much more enjoyable. The industrial site was closed and we think there was a change of wind direction. We will definitely go back but not midweek.
