To be fair, and it is different for me because I have lived around here all my life but I don't get the attraction, I try to avoid driving though at any given chance, just too busy! plus all the best roads are on the hills above, but driving a pair of pikeys I think they would be lost on you! If you do come back again take the road from Holmfirth to Greenfield (Greenfield road as it happens, A635 I think)great scenery if you like spare, baron moorland, The Huntsman is a good spot to stop for a meal, then drop down to Dovestones res. More to the point it's long, and straight! now we have the campers we have got a new lust for bobbing out to into the country and staying at sites, went to one near matlock the other week, i think were off to castleton soon, having a beeter time than slobbing about in the day and going to the same pubs at night, i had a T3 multivan before so having a blast having all the creature comforts of the karmanns oh i dunno, we had fun blatting round the bends, its the straights that kill us as they run out of steam I take it they're both oil burners then?

yeah seem quite nippy setting off, just run out of steam quick, although we goit past 80 mph on the motorway

No worries - after mel got to it with the soapy pledge, and some elbow grease, its come up a treat.

the site was very nice, not huge mind, cool pond in the middle, has shop and loos, but no on site pub, the one we went to was only a few mins walk, food was lovely but expencive!

i cant remember what it was called, we walked through the site and down a muddly lane for five mins and came out on a road behind the site and the pub was there

Yeah, 'ar lass knows the head chef.

The other pub down the road is meant to do decent fodder also, the Travellers rest, my mates bird works there.

Small world eh.

There should be some of my business cards in the shop on the campsite.
