What on earth sort of sat nav have you gotnot so old wrote: Thanks Mike, We have a sat nav, but last mile is not on it and I wondered if it was going to be one of those single track windy things. Jimmy isn't into reversing the caravan !

As Mike says the entrance to the site is straight off an "A" road.

The address shows Earith Rd, however, Mikes map shows Sheldon rd. My sat Nav - Garmin Streetpilot deluxe. It is 7 years old and still a great Sat Nav, but unfortunately it doesn't tell me that the road is straightforward. It also needs a street name and number to go on. which is usually great, as it will take me right to the door. Post code alone it won't take. I therefore set it for 1 Earith Rd, which doesn't quite take me to the site. That is no problem, because it will be signposted, but I just wondered what the road in was like. Thanks to Mike I now have road and location

Try "86, Earith Road, Willingham" it doesn't become Shelfords Road until a little way past the campsite.
1, Earith Road will be about a mile away down the road actually in the village - but still on the main road though.

It's a nice road; just don't oversteer left or you will end up
in the river! A right hander before the entrance to the site
on the right. From the Earith direction.

Thanks Guys.
I will reset the sat nav and watch out for the river
. Also decided to bring my son's Tomtom, (which I don't like). Just in case!!!! I never have direction problems, but Campsites are apt to be a bit vague in address. This one's not so bad though!
Cheers Anna

Stick on the A.14 to Bar Hill (which is where the two lane section ends eastbound) follow the B.1050 north toward Longstanton, Willingham, Earith or whatever it says.not so old wrote:Thanks Guys.I will reset the sat nav and watch out for the river

Go through/past Longstanton then into Willingham, which is a very long village (about 2-3 miles long) and as you leave it you are on a very long straight road (dead straight for just about as far as you can see) when you reach the LH bend at the end of the straight the campsite is on the inside of the bend.

From the North (Earith/St.Ives) direction it is indeed wiggly with a sheer drop into the R. Ouse on the nearside.not so old wrote:Thanks All,

From the south (A.14/Willingham) it's about as wiggly as the Greenwich
Meridian - which it almost follows!.

Thank you John for the invitation to Join you. We had a lovely time (didn't want to come home really). It was great to meet up with all you lovely people and your gorgeous doggies. We had really good laugh, plenty of Vino and the sunshine was a real treat. Can't wait for next week!!!!

Re: Roseberry Tourist Park, Willingham, near Cambridge
Thank you all for a really good relaxing weekend which I was in
dire need of after the past hectic month. I haven't sat down for
so long for ages! Many thanks Anna (hope the spelling is right)
for the tasty food and hospitality; John and Andrew for putting up
my tiny tent and bed - I'm only a weak woman - the adorable doggies
and so good to see Chris and Ginge beat the bandits by coming out of it
better than before. So Mike must have ordered the gorgeous weather!
