The best site in the network if you want to get back to nature. If it’s birdsong, red squirrels, unrivalled walks, fabulous scenery, then this is the site for you. It’s the one site on the network that we’ve returned to time and time again. And we’ve already booked for next year. For the uninitiated, there are a couple of things you need to know. Access is over a narrow bridge with a 6’6” width limit. Don’t worry, we’re 7’3” and have the best part of a foot either side. The narrow road continues through the village of Grange. It can be off-putting to those who haven’t towed on narrow roads. Lorries and the bus make it through several times a day. So don’t be put off. The site is in National Trust woodland. The Trust won’t permit the Club to use the usual gravel on hardstands so instead the club has to use a fine slate. It does get walked into the van, even in summer. Rain drains slowly through the slate, so it might pool on some pitches. Not many and not often. The site is in quite dense woodland with trees overhanging most pitches. Pine needles fall in winds, especially in autumn. And leaves. We make good use of the vacuum cleaner to keep on top of it. The dense trees mean some pitches can be dark and only a handful have any sort of view: we wouldn’t be permitted to have a site at all if the vans were visible from outside of the wood. But you don’t go there to sit in your van. You go to take in the walks, or to sit by the lake, or take a trip on the boat to Keswick. We’ve been more than 20 times and not exhausted all the walks from the site yet.
