"The Lake District Walker", based in Cockermouth, offers affordable, fun days out for everyone, with at least one organised guided walk a day, every day of the year. Log into their website:- www.thelakedistrictwalker.co.uk
A good percentage of our clients are "Motor home" owners, and visit us many times a year. For clients who are just starting off with a motor home for perhaps the first time, especially if you do not intend to move your unit off site once pitched, without any other form of transport, you will probably miss out in seeing a lot of what our area has to offer. However, we can offer a little guidence about the site, the area, and the area's facilities.
There is no "daily" Bus service directly from Millhouse, only once a week to Penrith on a Tuesday. There is how-ever a daily bus service through the summer months, (Saturdays only in winter) between Carlisle and Keswick, which calls at Caldbeck and Hesket-New-Market.
TV reception is excellent. However, it is worth noting that our area is one of the first TV areas in the country to switch totally to" digital". The analoge transmitter is now switched off. It is important that if you are booked to stay with us, "please ensure that you bring a digital equipped TV". Satellite reception is good on any of the pitches away from the trees, (which line the river).
Vodaphone and T. Mobile provide a rather limited, patchy service on the site. Other networks are not so good in the immediate area. There is how-ever, a pay-phone 200 yards away (next to the village hall).
For those who bring a Lap Top, we have recently installed a "WI-FI facility", which provides internet connectivity for the whole site, (Millrace, and CL). You can literary sit by the river on one of the picnic benches, or in your caravan or awning, and communicate with the whole of the world, (or read our web site), all day. You can simply gain access to the WI-FI facility by a current password, obtainable from John or Dawn. All we ask, is that you contribute the low minimal charge of only £1 per day that you use it, towards its installation and up-keep. Just use one of the envelopes. ( We will be aware of your successful connection and usage, as it will be memorized in the system log )
All the Electric Hookups have a rating of 10amps, which is 2.5kw. Used with respect, 10amps should serve you well with the most of the lighter needs of the modern Caravan or Motor Home. (Lighting, Television, integral Battery Charger and low wattage equipment). However, we do recommend that to avoid any unnecessary tripping of the local mcb, for space heating, water heating, boiling the kettle, you lean more to your Gas equipment.
There are two mains drinking water taps, one on the CL, and one on the Millrace. Both are fitted with a male quick-fit snap-on "Hoselock type" connector. To make filling easier, why not fit a female quick-fit connector on to the other end of your filling hose.
The MV waste emptying gulley is situated just with-in the Millrace gate. It is designed for you to park on the road along side, and use your own hose or one of our unique extending adaptors.
