We stayed here for four nights in early October and other than one rather wet day the rain gods were conspicuous by their absence. The site is well situated for walking on the fells without too much travel and the wardens were very helpful in making suggestions. Penrith is a short car journey away where there are some really good bakers and butchers selling artisan food. Much has made in the reviews I have read about the site being tired,and while certainly the showers show a degree of wear and tear I wouldn't subscribe to describing them as tired and, they have underfloor heating , not something one finds on all sites.They are also spotlessly clean. I would hope that the next time we visit this site, probably 2016, the club will have invested in Wifi as mobile signals are all but non existent and regrettably in this modern world one does needs access to email
