The young couple that ran it recently did a fantastic job...opened up the central part and made it brighter and far more attractive. They even had their grandparents running a small caravan in the car park serving sensibly priced teas and coffees. But as usual Robinsons got greedy and upped the rent, forcing them to call it a day.

Hope they make a go of it.

One hurdle can be that you have to get enough bikers to spend something. So many turn up, shoot shit in the car park, but spend nothing.

The Caravan in the car park idea - appears to be a good one.

The amoumnt of passing trade you get up there you'd have thought Robinsons would have been right behind them.

I think them average speed cameras had a bit of a death knoll for the bikers ,as i said before look at the Ponderosa and Tan Hill (I know theres A S C's on the road from Rosies cider shop ) dont seem to do so bad with bikers and other tourists.
