Excellent Site - Route In Rattles Yer Bones!

Just recently had a two night stay on Burrs which was our first visit to this site. This is an excellent site which is deceiving as you approach it (its only 5mins from the centre of Bury!) As usual for the CC, the facilities were up to their usual high standard and the wardens were excellent and very friendly (think the lovely lady said they've only been there about 5 weeks) Got a great pitch facing the East Lancs railway line so spent lots of time doing the 'meerkat' piece and sticking my head up the awning when a steam trains went past. The Country Park is lovely for a walk or cycle, we completed 7 1/2 miles on our bikes although it was still muddy in places due to the time of year. The Activity Centre next door does canoeing if your more adventurous. The Brown Cow Pub which is next to the site is also very friendly and the food is excellent. There's no play area or much to do for kids if you have them so they'll need to entertain themselves when on site. As previous posts have stated, the entrance road into this site is a bit 'nerving' and you definitely need to have your fine china securely fastened as the cobbled section is a definite bone shaker!! As we left at around 2pm on Sunday, the activity centre was extremely busy due to the good weather and there was cars and vans parked everywhere which made it very tight to get out, especially when the owners of the vehicle just stand and stare as you squeeze past. This was not helped by meeting another member coming in as this entire section is single track and they hadn't looked ahead to see me coming out)......he had to test his reversing skills as there was nowhere for me to go!! All in all an excellent site and will not put us off returning, in fact, the wife has booked again for September!
