There is not as much room to stay in Appleby. There have been restrictions put on by the Police and Council. My Brother-in-Law always went for 4 or 5 days with his caravan and parked on 'the hill'. Most of that has been stopped now.
I cannot get hold of him today but I will try to find out more details.
Make sure you have a good alarm system, at least 4 German Shepherd attack dogs and 4 spare wheels.
You may have just picked up on the fact that I am not a big fan of many of the travellers. I have time for the old school Romanies but not the chavvy Irish tinkers (and there will be plenty of them at Appleby)

My Sister-in-law reckons the Wild Rose campsite about 10 miles from Appleby is a good site. Her and her husband stopped going because of the crime in Appleby. Caravans were broken into and everything nicked. It now costs £60 per week to stay on the hill (if you can get on) so you might as well be on a site with all facilities for the same price as a field with nothing.
