Thinking of giving up our membership

I was a Trading Standards officer before I retired, so I have seen/heard of some pretty dodgy dealings. I have gone through the contract very carefully and although nothing is ever really sure, I am satisfied with it. If we were younger we might not be doing it, due to long term costs, but we have looked into it carefully and believe this is the one for us. We are even fairly pleased that the site floods regularly (the vans have floatation systems) because this means they are far less likely to sell the site to builders for housing, always a worry otherwise. 

Interesting logic

This has been a useful thread, we have talked about what to do once we no longer want to tour. Like others we have toyed with a static but will probably not go that way now. Provided that we can find a coastal site with a seaview about 2-3 hours away we will probably go for a TA caravan and try and get a permanent pitch  would love somewhere like North Ledaig but not for a few years yet though.

Is there a marina charge for periods when you are afloat?

OOO,  careful,  careful  ,  you  might  find  yourselves  playing  "Piggy  in  the  Middle"    stuck  in  between  Tricky  Triky  &  Cyberyacht

Don't worry. We'll have fenders out.

There's a world beyond caravan sites - and all sorts of other holiday opportunities.

For a few years, while still working and prior to getting a van, we continued tenting, but interspersed holidays in small cottages in this country (converted barns and the like) and Gites in France. These gave the type of freedom we like, rather than a hotel, however as AD says now we are used to long holidays, I don't think we would find them so satisfactory.
