In the light of the moans I have read on CT over the time I have followed it I thought it may be time for members to re write the CC site rules and terms and conditions of use.

 

Over to you.

DD, I trust you understand what you are 'liking'. 

I also find if offensive that you suggest those of us who follow CC rules are fools.

It saddens me that you find my poor slimily of Douglas Bader’s saying offensive.  No offence was meant but I offer a thousand apologies if it was unintentionally caused.  I have no idea what you mean about liking and I shall never find out as I will bow out of the thread once I have made this post.  

Thank you for the apology, DD. I'm surprised you are bowing out as you feel so strongly on the issue.

As for the other point, I feel no more should be said on that.

CC Rules are precisely why I HATE CC sites but if forced to stay through circumstance, I will obey! 

Putting your van in the precise location so that the little white post has to be (what is it left or right?) exactly positioned behind is completely and utterly pathetic. Keep to your own pitch and what is the problem?

I obey but would really love to park the van upside down with nose in sometimes. It would be fun to see the apoplectic objectors.

so what you are saying is that you would like to see the efforts of those who are attempting to keep the resonable and tolerable distances between caravans totally thwarted just for pleasure. 

Now this I saw recently. A row of four empty pitches all spaced equally apart by pegs. First new occupant arrives and decides to personally move peg to suit his needs, just to be I guess two more metres away from the service point. Next in puzzled by lack of space for his car now moves off peg to the right by a good half caravan width. And so it continues until last one in complains that there is now no room to place his car in the correct spot if he puts his van on the correct peg and if he moves over, no room for his awning. I wish now I'd been busybody enough to have intervened but there again I guess I just might have been called an interfering fool who obeys rules, one  who attempts to insists others do foolishly likewise. 

 Some it seems get their pleasure in perverse ways!

So where IS your own pitch?   Well, for habitation units it is immediately to the right of the peg, and for tow vehicle parking it is immediately to the left. (both looking from the access roadway)

I note that on some C&CC sites the pitch limits have been delineated by fixing strips of wood along the ground.  This must surely help those who are afflicted by some medical condition that stops them comprehending left and  right.

Often the case but not always, on some sites non awning pitches have car to the right. On some awning and non awning pitches the car needs to go in front. In all instances I guess the peg shows only where your caravan or motorhome goes. As some pitches have no grass between them the only reference point to getting things correct is the peg. Then site specific directions, good will and understanding come to play.

I think the sad thing about the rules is there made because a small minority at some stage haven't considered others while on site.

...That is just the scenario that has propted some site wardens to spray paint arround the pitch marker,and  i noticed on a site in Norfolk where the site staff had screwed a plate on the wood suround of hardstands
