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?

I admit to nothing other than being a little hacked off with nit picking over names.

I just can't see the enjoyment of being behind the wheel of a car for that length of time or the need to travel that distance in a single day. However as TW said it's one's personal choice, just not mine.

It all depends how chilled you are driving. From age 18 to 30 I used to drive HGV’s. In those days a 32 ton artic which was the max gross weight in those days had a 150 brake horse power engine and no power steering, plus the driving seat was as comfortable as a park bench. An average days driving was about 400 miles. Today’s modern cars With auto transmission comfy seats and an engine with more bhp than the wagons of yesteryear are a pleasure to drive

So the 2hrs driving then a break advise was not observed

Posted on 05/10/2020 18:18

2 hrs is just advice. HGV drivers can drive for I think it is 4 hrs without a break by law. If they had to have a break every 2 hours they would get hardly anything delivered.

I do not think "professional?"drivers would adhere to any advise if it was not a legal punishable offence ,hence the Tacho

Fact is they are allowed by law to drive for more than 2 hours There were no Taco's when i was an HGV driver.
