Why are we always disappointed by CLs?

Over the years we have tried perhaps a dozen or so CLs, and have almost always found them disappointing. The one where the chemical emptying point was "over there" (never found it); the one which charged £20 a night on account of having facilities - facilities that were in fact shared with an encampment of twice as many vans that were not on the CL and apparently used by workmen; the ones made uncomfortable by a number of other, often tatty, vans scattered around. Where are we going wrong?

The phrase "they don't come any better" is, surely, a comment on the quality which has proven significantly impressive. To follow its strictest interpretation would require a visit to every single CL on the network, something which even the most ardent CL'er is unlikely to have achieved.

The only requirement of this thread is "if you see Sid, tell him".

That is the way I see it CY but then I am not picky on strict adherence to terminology as I appreciate that phrases such as simply the best are not intended to be taken as 100% factual. Simply means very good from the users perspective

I’m hoping NTH will be publishing his-‘Guide to the UK’s CL network’ soon, now he can be classed as an authority👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

I’d buy it! He’s shared some cracking ones with us!

To use another phrase “great minds, think alike”

Top CL tip......choose your reviewers with care. There are the good, the bad, and the downright useless.

I've just posted a review of Patterdale Hall cl and stated "it doesn't get much better than this".....I could be wrong though as we've yet to try Shoulthwaite Farm!😊
