Amazing site and wardens and an observation on club policy on centralising buckets

Second visit to this new to us, area of Yorkshire and what a find, scenery everywhere, the cute wee village of Grassington, the choice of at least 6 pubs within easy stroll and best of all an amazing former quarry nearby to explore. The roads were fun in our 8-metre motorhome and I as passenger certainly enjoyed the scenery, the driver, my partner wasn’t quite so keen on his drive down Patley Bridge High Street, the other route out to Skipton involved less swearing. As many have already reviewed, this is a very attractive caravan site, large well spaced pitches, well laid out, with lots of hedges and trees to give that country side feel and excellent facilities, between the shower block with an incredible 9 shower cubicles each (all immaculate) and 4 service points strategically around the site, it really was a joy to stay here. I also appreciate the work put into creating and keeping the superb dog walk mown and cleared, thankyou to the wardens, Hilary and Ed, who are an absolute credit to the club, who hopefully will recognise and reward them for their amazing effort to keep this site going. I now include an observation of a club policy, not voted on by members, which sadly appears to be copying the other club, with the intended removal of the individual service points waste and recycling buckets, to a centralised point at the site entrance. From observation of this in practice at the other club’s sites, this copied policy will prove to be a poor decision for environmental and cost reasons. As campers will have to walk longer distances to this point, their previously sorted recycling will for the sake of less hassle, now be combined into one bin bag and all put in the landfill bucket. Also, rather than walking, they will drive to the bucket, using the generally larger diesel vehicles required for towing, not a criticism just a fact, that generally members are older and less able to walk long distances. And the increased volume of landfill costs significantly more per tonnage for removal and disposal than recycling. This is therefore going to prove to be a poor environmental and financial cost policy, as well as an imposition of a policy not wanted, or of benefit to the actual members, whose club this should be for. Other members take heed and call out this imposition too please.
