"There were an elderly couple seated near us who were surrounded by dogs, some were behaved others not so. They complained about dogs being allowed when people were eating."
"A pain to get there, down a very rough, pot-holed track with stupid speed bumps - you'd puncture all your tyres if you drive faster than 10mph."
"Horrendous speed bumps on the way down, you can't be in a low car... at all."
"Really stupid rules about where you can and can't eat food.... there's no shade at all outside where you can eat."
