I have noticed over the last few months the frequency of cars being moved before 7am is on the increase. Just yesterday at Chatsworth a car pulled of the site at 6.00, not with caravan but still shutting car doors and engines are not silent. 3 weeks ago another couple were getting their van ready for departure from 6.00, pulling off the pitch at 6.55, possibly there had been an emergency but as stated at the beginning, I feel this practice is on the increase, perhaps I am being a grumpy old man? But I think at best, is highly inconsiderate. What are the rules? What do others think?

Regards

Do you have to move the caravan off a seasonal pitch, thought it was only the occupants that have to vacate the pitch, if so then surly it would be a lot less stress and heavy work for your wife and yourself to stay at a cheap B&B for 2 nights.

That's right, cariadon, you can leave the caravan on the pitch and go away yourselves for two nights. We usually prefer to take the caravan with us though!

He doesn't, his wife does it.

She does most of it but it is one job she can't do entirely on her own! I have to help her with the poles and threading the awning through the channel.

We did once leave early when staying on the Cirencester site at 06:30 a.m. We hoped that at that time of the morning there would be less traffic making the journey quicker and easier!

So the earliest I leave site is on November 9th this year, it will be about 3.00 am. Oh yeah we'll be closed and I'll be hightailing it for that ferry to sunnier climes!

And your furrowed brow and tired look will slowly disappear as you get further south "over there"
