I checked the website and it said they were open. I drove 27 miles to find a sign at the entrance saying the site was closed due to hazardous conditions. There is a sailing centre there, as well as other stuff, and it could be that I thought. So I rang them, to be told that indeed the site was closed and that the car park is being resurfaced. I asked the guy to update their website; to either alter the word "open" to "closed" or to remove the information completely to avoid anyone else making the same mistake. He just said that it was all over Facebook and WhatsApp (neither of which I use).

Lesson is that if you are driving any distance, ring up first to find out if they are open and also to check that you mention the location you are intending to visit (I have made that mistake too, the phone had been rerouted to a different site). :(

Are you going to drive to Whitwell every day and update us all on the shop's open or closed status? Seems the least you can do to avoid any disappointment from the emtb community.
