BRIGHTON CC SITE - FEB 2014

2014 BRIGHTON CC formally ( Sheepcote Valley CC ) and approach.

I won’t go into the disabled bit anymore as I’ve put it on my profile and I think it puts peeps off.

On our first trip of a the New Year ( Doog, Misty and I ) we stayed fairly local at Brighton CC, I had phoned a month or two earlier to make sure they allowed dogs as they didn’t advertise that fact on their webpage.

I was informed by another member they did, but I had to check and he was right.

I had read about the approach road problem and was a bit concerned to be honest that I might get accosted by someone so I took my rolling pin just incase, ( and I had the two dogs ready to lick anyone who came one paw from the door ), didn’t need it still you can never be to careful.

I think it would be very difficult if I had been driving a larger vehicle or towing a caravan on our arrival as there were several coaches on the approach road and quite a few caravans and motorhomes, I thought at first that they were travellers or pikies as we in Kent call them but I don’t think they were as there was no sign of litter and dogs tied up outside in fact there were no signs of people fall stop.

On enquiring to the temporary warden as to who was living in them he wasn’t sure himself but the CC are making moves with the council to get them moved, probably means double yellows all the way down at a guess, still moving on as they say.

The Site itself is as good as all the other sites I have visited although they had a toilet block being done up and therefore closed and I found out the hard way as I thought it a good idea to park as near as I could ( What a plonker, I put it down to old age ) I wondered why everyone else was parked at the top by the other one, still it was quiet, uhmm.

Local amenities easily reached by walking, cycling, ebiking uhmm, or car, beach about a mile away next to the Marina ( and the added attraction of a one hundred percent Travellers campsite, they get all the good spots, don’t they ) where there is in the marina itself an ASDA, MCDONALD'S, WETHERSPOONS, RESTAURANTS OF ALL KINDS OF CUISINE, CASINO, and other shops I didn’t bother to visit, not forgetting the expensive houses and yacht people.

Dog walk none on the site, you have to take your dogs off site which is no big deal.

Brighton itself is about two miles from the Marina, I ebiked it several times as the weather was glorious for the time of the year. there were hundreds of cyclists there and runners.

Well that’s about it, points out of ten……...10

p.s wouldn’t want to live there though, to many people….lol.
