Longleat - Pitch 129
This story happened on: 13/08/2012
After reading another story warning of pitch flooding I thought I'd post mine here.
We are currently staying at Longleat Club Site - an excellent site and the first time we have visited. Yesterday (Saturday night/Sunday morning) we had torrential rain and the pitch flooded. A quick walk around revealed this and Pitch 130 to be the only ones.
A chat to the Warden - they were not concerned and blamed the heavy rainfall we had had. Fair enough. By around 12 (Sunday) the main water had dried away but there was still surface water on the chippings. The ground was still wet on Monday morning and a little bit of rain this morning (not torrential like before) has once again flooded our pitch (but not 130).
Needs a few more chippings to raise it to road level I think.
Not much can be done now - and the Wardens didn't seem to be bothered about it.
What we did find annoying was that a family moved from this pitch last week due to flooding (they told us). The pitch should have been closed off or a poster put into reception warning visitors.
Hope the heads up helps someone out.
