A magnificent site - spoiled by its users
This site is amongst my favourite top three of those I have visited. Magnificent views, astounding area, stunning pitches. But all that glitters is not gold. Sadly it is being spoiled by irresponsible dog owners. Be advised that I love dogs - big and small. But I have no wish to watch them defecating whilst I am sitting eating my breakfast / lunch / dinner. Will the better and more considerate dog owners PLEASE educate the less responsible ones that it is not acceptable repeatedly to let the dog do its business on their pitch / their neighbour's pitch / an empty pitch or the middle of the road? The fact that it may then be ceremoniously scooped up and disposed of is irrelevant. There are plenty of walks and a specific dog walk nearby for that purpose - I know that not all dogs cannot be made to 'do it on demand' and that accidents will happen, but increasingly, I find that no attempt is made to encourage the dog to use that facility. I don't wish to see this bodily function performed whilst I'm eating - or indeed at any time. Make the effort - take the dog for a walk - let them do it - clean it up - and we're all happy. Sadly too, pitched as we were near the entry / exit barrier, we witnessed frequent disregard for the 5 mph rule. With most modern cars 5 mph = first gear. All too frequently, we witnessed second and sometimes third gear being achieved long before the entering car passed the toilet block. No excuse drivers - and wardens cannot be expected to be there at all times, nor indeed to act on any reports by other users. They're not the police - we shouldn't need policing! But a radar trap on that stretch would reveal interesting data. More signage? I wouldn't want to see it and it shouldn't be needed - but what else can be done? Review should be 5 x 5 stars but the foregoing detracts from the maximum score. Magnificent and magical site - spoiled by the very people who should be caring for it.
