Thursday was a short journey from High Onn heading north east through Stoke-On-Trent, Leek and arriving at the Buxton Caravan and Motorhome Club site just after noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing notable about the journey was that the A53 from Stoke To Buxton was an absolute shambles for pot holes and poor maintenance – won’t be long before the caravan needs screwing back together yet again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site is extremely peaceful, situated on the floor of a dis-used quarry – judging by the road names, presumably this was Grin Low quarry. Given we are almost at mid-summers day and the daily high temperature was a cool 13 degrees, maybe this should be called “Grim” Low!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The views over the campsite are pleasing enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facilities here look all recently refurbished and we have a nice spot tucked away in one corner of the campsite, complete with a fully serviced pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
