I have put you on the reserve list, please keep updated on this thread for further updatesHi Jeff,
Any chance of being put on the reserve list for Sunday and Monday please?
Yes not a problemJeff we booked for all nights but due to a change in a hospital appointment we will have to leave on the monday. Hope this is ok.
Hi Jeff, We'll have to cancel this one as the van still needs brakes doing & an M.O.T. Sorry to miss you all, see you next time. Meduck & Lovelace XThis camp is for 5 nights, most of the pitches are on HARDSTANDING , The venue is less than 10 minutes off the M6 motorway
There are also 20 EHU points, these are only 6 AMP so only kettles, fridges, charging, NOT HEATING, these are only ÂŁ3 per night so please remember this if you try to overload it and it keeps tripping, also if you want this option let me know when booking, these come on a first come first served basis

Local amenities
Only a 5-minute walk from the club you can find a Post Office, grocery shop, fish and chip shop, hairdresser and traditional sweet shop. You can also find Goosnargh Tennis Club and the beautiful medieval church of St Mary's, dating from approximately 1281. They're also a wide range of excellent restaurants and pubs serving fine food in the immediate area, including the local specialities of Goosnargh duck, Goosnargh cakes, and famous local cheeses from Mrs Kirkham's, Blacksticks and Singletons. The famously haunted Chingle Hall is but a half-mile stroll across the fields.
Further afield (3 miles) is the delightful market town of Longridge – the gateway to the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe and beyond. Sainsbury’s, Booths and The Co-operative supermarkets can all be found in Longridge along with a host of specialist shops and a full range of takeaways, many of which will deliver to the site.
Exploring the area
The new City of Preston (7 miles) offers extensive shopping opportunities whilst Garstang (6 miles) is another “must-see” market town. Beacon Fell Country Park along with the Bleasdale Fells, form the backdrop to our village. This is a proper walking country easily reached (3 miles) by an extensive network of country lanes. Brock Bottoms (2 miles), on the way to Beacon Fell, offers leafy glades, cool clear pools and the gentle River Brock. This is a magic place where children can safely paddle, whilst your dog can swim in the deeper pools - an ideal picnic spot!
The Club is an ideal base for visiting local attractions such as the Roman camp at Ribchester, the ruins of the 14th Century Cistercian Abbey at Whalley and the famous Trough of Bowland whose lovely winding paths are popular with fell walkers and casual strollers alike.
If you would like to attend this venue please ask on this thread only stating your arrival day and how many nights you will be attending
