It never was jv. I've run that other site as well and until recently has never needed a "satellite" site. Bit '80's that I think. Are you "privy" to the plans for here and that other site then jv?

I think if recent experience is anything to go by we must expect more leasehold sites to disappear. When the original leases were signed years ago I expect the owners had little interest in what the land could be used for beyond being grateful for the lease income. Now of course they see high value investment and return on providing static accommodation so they are considering whether it is worth continuing with leases that don't give much of a return. Alternatively having a low value lease on land they may well wish to sell could be another reason?

I appreciate that Carnon Downs camping is not a like for like replacement but it is in the South West and I am sure the Club are looking at their overall portfolio of sites and buying where it is possible so they  are less dependent on leases?

I cannot see that the land of the Marizion site ix good for anything other than a campsite. Perhaps the lease is being hiked to make it much less viable to run?

Estate will have to be careful what goes onto Site. We used to use CL couple of hundred metres away, we got there one time to find a huge old mine shaft had opened up, one of farm barns had disappeared😱 Thankfully no one, human or animal hurt. The woods all around are covered in shafts. Site has a public right of way through it as well. Close season, when it’s shut up, it’s a lovely enclosed area. Apart from hook up points, you wouldn’t guess what it was used for if you enter via old slate stile, or gate at the bottom. Such a lovely location.

Winter of 17, two shafts opened up on the 3ways site in the February I think. It was very interesting to see how it was repaired as the holes were breathing shafts from an uncharted mine. Only just finished before the site opened. There are photos on site in the old phone box.
