Arrived yesterday (Saturday) after lots of deliberation about travelling especially after the stormy night we had endured at home in Sth Cumbria. We checked all roads were clear and apart from a detour nearer home due to fallen trees, we set off. Arrived safely but alas, the wardens were bearers of bad news, they had no power, no water and no phone signal or landline due to severe outages caused by Storm Arwen. Because of all comms being down, they had no means of notifying us earlier. We decided to stay using our own facilities and the local shop/garage did have large bottles of water to purchase. We managed a night but sadly with no news about how long the site would be entirely off grid, decided to bail this morning. We did have some mobile phone signal so we're able to contact another site to chack availability as we were reluctant to go home as this is the last few days of annual leave we have. The wardens at Wharfedale didn't charge us for our stay after all, we didn't use any facilities or electric. We used a considerable amount of gas however and thank goodness, we have 2 leisure batteries. We are now on the club site at Southport. The wardens here have had some issues but nothing on the scale of Wharfedale. If someone from the Head Office of the club reads this, please can they get some gas upto Wharfedale as the wardens are on their last bottle and cannot vacate like the rest of us and moving forward, if storms are going to be more frequent and damaging, it is vital that the wardens do have comms to help them manage such occasions. We are all so reliant on the digital age, there must be a technology available so that no business is left completely isolated. We are not disappointed, we have managed to survive Storm Arwen. We are sad for the Wharfedale wardens pretty much winging it at present and will visit again as it's one of our favourite sites in the most beautiful county of Nth Yorkshire.
