Title: Found a cheep OFF ROAD site near Skipton North Yorkshire
Post by: Miniman on September 28, 2005, 16:00:08
Found a Cheep OFF ROAD site near Skipton North Yorkshire. £15 a day.
I called in today and asked about the site and whilst speaking to the owner he told me it is used by CLUBs so I would need to phone and ask when the site is Free so if you are interested then you will have to let me know and when I have a few people interested I have to ring him and see when it's available.

So if you are interested and local ish then let me know.

Cor.  That's almost localish for me.

I'd be interested, certainly. Not sure when I'll be able to make it oweing to MOT and suspension troubles (couple of months until both are sorted, at a guess).

I work shifts, so I've got no real preference with regards to what day of the week.

Can I vote for defintely interested, but not to bothered about which day. I'm semi self employed, so can move work round to a certain extent to fit in, and there's just as much chance of me having a rush job on a weekend as a week day. So My vote is everyday, but I suspect the weekends will win though.

I was only annoyed cos I held it all day a Whitworth, right from the get go :D , then shortly before closing Huw, managed to wedge his discovery across some ruts, and none of us, could get anywhere near, so we had to winch him  sideways out of the ruts. :lol:

Very interested, Skipton ain't too far for me.  If anyone wanted to travel up or down I could have use of a large house at Skyreholme for not much dosh (£5 each) given a bit of notice.

Mmm. Sounds interesting.

Could it be one of the existing sites used by 'Pennine Land Rover Club' & the 'Yorkshire Rover Owners Club'??

Not sure what its called but its up near a place called Lothersdale and Near Cross Hills just off the road. I have not been for a walk onto the site but it sounds like I am going to have to as there has been plenty of people interested now between here and landyzone.

The farmer is sound aswell he also got landys but I think he has lost the urge as its there for him all the time.

OK I will take a look up there this week and get some photos.

Sounds like one it's one of their RTV/CCV trial sites. I'm sure they 'share' one up there.

If we choose the days right we could either go over to Whitworth, on Sunday, or Up to Scarbrough for a return visit to Langdale. And I'm sure other will have other venues worth a visit.

When is the next Whitworth? I haven't been for a while. I seem remember they were going to beginning\end of month. If so it'll be too short a notice ofr this month, but we might be able to dovetail it for next month, or possibly one after.

Call me soft if you will, but I'm not overly keen on camping in summer, but come oct\nov I prefer a roof, a warm bed and a good woman.
