We are fortunate to have enjoyed visiting this gem of a site on a number of occasions and it never disappoints with a location ideal to enjoy varied walks with our energetic spaniel. This last trip was our first post-lockdown outing but was still as enjoyable as ever, in part due to the fantastic warden team who were outstanding in their efforts to ensure everyone enjoyed their stay whilst remaining safe in this current C19 world. So what is the “but”? Frankly the actions of some members who are in danger of spoiling it for the majority by their refusal to accept that rules and requests do not apply to them. The site has a narrow entrance lane with access shared with other local amenity users. Please don’t arrive before 1300 we are asked. Please don’t wait if you do arrive early the signs repeatedly say. So what happens almost daily - yep 2 or sometimes 3 outfits are sat from 1230 blocking the entrance to the other local users and on a couple of occasions, causing an issue on the main road itself. No pitches are that awful on this lovely site to warrant ignoring such clear requests but clearly some people think the rules don’t apply to them. Part of the magic of this site is the key to the gate in the wall giving access directly into the park 24 hrs a day. 2 clear signs on the gate request that all dogs are kept on a lead in the park. So what do we see on at least 2 separate occasions, yep, 2 other site residents with their dogs off running loose, even with the sheep grazing nearby. Our spaniel would’ve loved to hurtle around the vast green space but we are requested not to so he had to content himself with pulling my arm off on his extender lead. But the rules didn’t apply to these other members clearly. How long do you think the estate will allow this fantastic access to the park from the site if we all just ignored very reasonable requests? And don’t even start me on the number of people who won’t pick up after their dogs in the dog run - that’s just getting to frequent an occurrence everywhere, someone else’s responsibility clearly. The club and site do need to be congratulated on getting the sites back open in these strange times. The band system largely worked well and queuing outside is a small price to pay to have our sites back available. But there were still a number of people who didn’t apparently see the need to follow the very well explained system, or were just too focused on themselves and not others to care whether they put their band on the hook or more often forgot to pick it up again causing unnecessary delays. The chap who felt his phone call was the priority over his shower, but who unfortunately didn’t come to this conclusion until he was already in the block leaving others to queue outside in the rain whilst he took up space inside the block on his call, is another case in point. Come on peeps. Let’s stop this these selfish actions that enable us all to continue enjoying our site stays for as long as possible.
