A1/m62 overnight stop (1 Viewer)

[sdc77]

I have to go up north soon with the van and I intend to incorporate a late overnight stop in the pontefract area.
Would prefer hook up (to use my new cable) but not essential. Will have the dug with me.
Anyone any suggestions. .? Probably won't get there til about 8-9pm.

How close to Pontefract do you want ? Teversal CCC is close to the A1 but is about 50 mile south and is an excellent site. Another a lot closer is this one http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=12118. Its a CCC certified site but Im sure this time of year they wont insist on membership

I'm a member of both clubs but I was thinking more of a small cl type place or pub/farm stop that won't mind me turning up late ish.
(Teversal's a great dog site innit)

Have you looked at Britstops? Quite a few although not so many with EHU.

I've been a wee bit lazy there .. the book is in the van and it's cold outside. Just wondered if anyone recommended anywhere

Used to be one. Pear Tree Farm. just off J33 opposite (Knottingly Road) side to the Truck stop. but not currently showing?. BTW. How about the truck stop?

We stayed at Moorside campsite over weekend Jct 22 of M62 on Saddleworth moor hookup nice views good dog walk into Delph
2 miles from M62 (manchester side) think it was £16/18 per night, site rules must use H07 cable for hookup thou, hope that's not a problem

HO7?. That`s a spec; for use in industrial applications surely. Why would anyone need to "require" that sort of cable.? Useful in low temp conditions. BUT?.

I`d love to see the reasoning behind that?

Sounds good gh. I'll have my new (almost compleye spec)cable by then too .. so long as I can turn up late.

Thanks for that. It appears pear tree farm may have changed now to a different business.. I don't really fancy the truck stop tbh ...
The reference to the cable is just a wee joke between me and gh ..Nothing serious

@Gorse Hill is it this site ?

It's a Young bloke that runs it and very helpful and we didn't get there till gone 7 after work, lives next door to the site can't see there being a problems and looking at the setup I can't see any probs but can always give him a bell just to confirm

Teversal CCC is near the M1 near Mansfield not the A1
