Anyone been to this site in Clitheroe, Lancs? http://threeriverspark.co.uk/

Is it a potential place for a meeting?

I stayed there a few months ago with my daughter Ian.
There is a large field with hook ups that would suffice as a rally field.
Good facilities there as well,and a bar and pool too i think

Some friends know the site and say that it is OK, a pub nearby, also not too far to walk into Waddington where there are a few pubs. 2 miles to get into Clitheroe and right by the fell, for the walkers.

OK, it's booked. Tough Northerners in Vests 2013 will be held over the weekend of 22 March at the Three Rivers site in West Bradford, near Clitheroe.

Looking further ahead to 2014, we are looking to move the Tough Northerners event to August. Isle of Man anyone?

Isle of Man's very nice but a complete rip off to get there.
The Steam Packet have you by the short and curlies, you could get to France and back about three times for the cost of a IOM return.
Limited number of sites as well. We stayed at the Laxey council owned site, smashing spot but not sure it would be OK for a large number.

The only way we could make it work is a large group booking, all catching the same ferry there and back. A friend in the Morgan owners club did it last year and it didn't work out too bad.
