Unfortunately this CL wasn’t all we hoped it would be. There had been a lot of rain, the owner sent an email saying we may have to park on the gravel. When we arrived the farmer didn’t know we were coming and had let sheep in the field, so there was quite a bit of sheep poo. The ground was absolutely sodden, and we got stuck trying to manoeuvre. The farmer pulled us out, so we parked on a very small patch of gravel. We couldn’t walk on the grass at all. We thought the owner should have cancelled our booking as the ground was unfit to use. We booked at a CAMC site not far away., and left after one night
