An enjoyable fortnight
A friendly welcome from Mrs Redman, I grew up near here so a lovely chat about days gone by. The CL is maybe one-third hard-standing, two thirds grass, with the grass fenced off due to it being winter. I did therefore feel that allowing 4 vans onto the hard-standing made things a little cramped. Three vans would have been more comfortable, as we were a little too close for our liking. I did actually need to speak to one couple about keeping the noise down, something I have never had to do in 20+ years in the club. I felt uncomfortable about doing this, and told Mrs Redman so.
Having said that, the site was pleasant, no views as such but interesting countryside in the lanes round about. The lane past the site is a bit of a rat-run, but nothing especially bothersome.
One toilet was open during our stay, not sure why the shower was closed as social distancing regulations have been scrapped now, perhaps there was another reason.
The mobile phone and internet signal was not great, it kept coming and going, maybe being under the airport flight-path had something to do with that.
There is a rail line nearby which is useful for travelling to Bristol, Worle has a station but you pay to park. Yatton is slightly further but possible to park up a side street near the station for free.
We were unfortunate enough to suffer three named storms during our visit, and did need to delay our departure for a day as it was too risky to tow a van in that. Mrs Redman was happy to let us stay an extra day.
I would be happy to return when the grass is open, but due to overcrowding would not visit again during the off season.
