Bacon Cheese burgers are about as good as it gets

just read the back of the deposit reciept. no commercial vehicles allowed, dunno if my small van (vivaro) qualifies as a commercial vehicle?

edited to add - it is, but so is a pickup, i bet there will be pickups there.

the shitters are far away it seems...... can't be worse than on site.....

[kaip]

how did you find this site after, was it easy to get to and from the download site

[t8yman]

the bus home could be a trial, it was only at :48, so if you missed it, it was an hours wait- so a taxi was in order (£15) otherwise it was fine. the pub at the top of the street was great too.full english (a nice one as well) was £6.

If I was going again, I would stay there again.

We flagged down one of the shuttle buses and the guy rerouted it via shardlow for us. Another night we got a cab on the meter. £9 between 3 of us. Sweet.

Campsite was great although we had to walk to Downlaod on the Friday due to Traffic. Not the campsites fault though. As T8yman syas the buses home were a nightmare. We caught one every night but it was touch and go if we would get on or not so a little too stressful for my liking. I would suggest you bus it in ans taxi it back.

T8yman - I think you lot were camping about 100 yards up from us. I was going to come up and say hello but what with the weather and being with the family made it awkward, Plus I feel odd saying Hi I'm The _Hedge off the interent....

Who was the guy with the green North Face jacket in your group? He look well smashed in the pub on the Thursday night
