Background information:
About 4 years ago a consultant report was carried out for us to look into the feasibility of setting up a camping pod network on the Cleveland Way and Yorkshire Wolds Way. This concluded that it would be perfectly feasible, but at that time there was no provision of that sort at all on the trail and no obvious interest from anyone to take it forward. The number of campsites offering Pod style accommodation has grown significantly in recent years. These numbers will be monitored to see if there is a point reached where a network, with joint marketing can be encouraged. This has the potential for a LEADER project in relation to the setting up and joint marketing of a network
