Watch out for the birds

We have stayed at this site on several occasions in the past so I was looking forward to visiting here again. A warm and cheerful greeting from the wardens on our arrival was a good start. We had planned to get two pitches together as other members of the family were joining us. We chose pitches 17 & 18 as these were reasonably close to the toilet block and would present no problems to my OH whose walking abilities are limited. For me pitch 18 was a bad choice as it was partly underneath a large Oak tree. For the entire stay (8 nights) we were being hit by small branches falling from the tree. I really believe this tree would benefit from some tree surgery. I realise that in these times of austerity some cut backs are inevitable, smaller pitches were obvious everywhere on site since my last visit, but don't cut back on safety. When we got home the worst was yet to come, bird droppings everywhere on the roof of the van and the awning. What a mess. An hour and a half's cleaning still did not remove all of it. I don't hold the club responsible for that, birds will be birds but at he end of the day it all adds up to a spoilt holiday. Whatever you do avoid pitch 18.
