The CL runs parallel to and below the quiet Grosmont road leading out of Sleights from which it is overlooked by housing. The site has two levelled sections. The furthest from the entrance and lowest is all hardstanding on which pitches 1 & 2 are located. The first higher section has two hardstanding tracks for pitches 3, 5 & 6 (5 & 6 nose to tail and 3 oblique to 6) along two sides of a shared rectangle of short grass. This provides space for awnings and sitting out. With all 3 pitches occupied it felt intimate. The grass also provides access to the CL’s recycling and water disposal point and is where pitch 4 is located which was not in use. All the hard standing including the access track is rough & bumpy crushed tarmac and stone. The pitch allocation board on the way in is not maintained. I was notified of our pitch number by text 30 minutes prior to arrival. I didn’t see this as I was driving so on arrival went in search of the owner. Later I found a sign stating that contact with the owner should only be by text. The owner has to come to the pitch to turn on the EHU before the £5 worth of electricity (12 kWh) can be used and to add more kWh in multiples of 12. Neither happens instantaneously and the owner told me he wouldn't come out at night to add units. A fine view across the Esk valley is obscured by a high hedge running along the site’s north western boundary. The site is very quiet and in July was sunny. It took us about 2 hours to walk into Whitby via the Esk Valley Walk and Ruswarp. We returned using the Sleights to Ruswarp road, which was quicker and easier. The road isn’t busy and has footways at each end and narrow verges along its length. The same road provides easy access to the ‘Cinder Track’ cycle and walkway that follows a disused RW line between Whitby and Scarborough via Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar. The cycle to Ravenscar and back from the site and via Whitby took me about 3 hours. We also walked from the site to the Falling Foss tea rooms. The best route we found was along Little Beck from Iburndale. We treated ourselves to an excellent fish and chips in Sleights where there is also a bakery, Spar, PO and butcher. There are good public transport links which we didn’t try.
