Hi all,
Apologies if this has been posted already but I couldn't find an exact thread.
My wife has booked a 4 man bell tent in Sticklinch (new off site camping) and I booked a similar tent in Worthy View a day or so later when they became available again.
We obviously need to cancel one of the bookings (before May 6th) but we're stumped on which one to cancel and which one to keep!
We're driving to the site by car and will park in the relevant dedicated campsite car park
Worthy View
Pros:
Close to Stone Circle, The Park and naughty arena
Seems to be an amazing view from the campsite
Cons:
Steep gradient from Tipi field and Stone Circle on and steep steps from Stone circle field to campsite entrance
Not somewhere where you'd pop back for food/drink supplies or costume change half way through the day to prep for evening/night
Sticklinch
Pros:
Relatively flat (slightest of gradient) all the way to campsite
Close to The Park (very close to Carmageddon but not an area I'm that fond of)
Probably not the worst campsite (not great but manageable) to go back for food/drink supplies or costume change half way through the day to prep for evening/night
Cons:
A significant distance/walk to everywhere else
No view as per Worthy View
We've not real problems with the steps and don't mind going back up them at the end of a night. We also have no mobility issues (we're in our early 40s)
Which to go for? Maybe correct me on my impressions above and anything else I may have missed. Below is an awesome graphic that should give context where everything is:
