A lovely CL

Based on a first visit - sadly only one wet afternoon and night - I can't help but agree with all the good reviews. It is a lovely spot and we were captivated by the large numbers of swallows flying around the field. I must especially mention the extremely helpful and considerate welcome we received from Helen, where she had reserved a flat pitch for us and showed us everything, despite pouring rain when we arrived. We were also lent an electric cable because I was concerned about using mine from the pitch we used. Generally we could not have been made to feel more welcome. It is a great site for running and road cycling. (I didn't fancy a swim in the rather green canal water.) There are numerous options for offroad running, including along the canal which is close by, although I had to be cautious of the male swam guarding his cygnets on the towpath. From taking part in events in previous years close by I also know there are lovely quiet lanes for road cycling and running. (I don't understand the previous reviewer's comment "the noise from the traffic was terrible". I doubt there is a quieter lane anywhere - I ran along its full length and didn't see one single vehicle.) All in all I thoroughly recommend this CL.
