We booked a 5 night stay at a CL. All packed up an ready to go, when the weather dramatically changed to gale force winds very heavy rain and some foggy patches. After much deliberation we decided to cancel our trip as the forecast was the same for the duration. My question is should we pay for the time booked, or agree to visit in the very near future? The site manager said we did not need to pay them and that all their bookings had been cancelled. We really feel bad about this as it is their living. What should we do?

sometimes needs must when you're still working ..... I don't want to have to take days of work just for traveling. I got off the ferry in Pompey from the IOW the other week and drove home in one go all at a steady 55mph-ish

For me it's an age thing. As I've got older I found that my sensible daily range reducing. Fortunately now retired we can take as long as we want and our journey between sites is often less than 100 miles. Last year in France chasing the sun south we did two days of 250 miles, although that was exceptional, our average was about 70 miles. The days of 250 miles were easy driving on French Autoroutes and rather quicker at 110 kph in a MH than it would have been towing. In fact if we had been towing we wouldn't have done it. When young we drove to Sorrento in 3 days. I think I would need at least 10 now.

As posted many times "over there" for motor caravans , "over here" is best for car/caravan

I prefer it over here as well JVB. When towing we used to favour Sunday's for motorway driving as there were less HGV's to tangle with. Now we travel any day and just pass them, they have a lot les affect on our MH than they did on our Cadiz.😀
