If the ground is too soft and wet to take a mower, surely the site should be closed until it dries out? I certainly wouldn't take a motorhome onto ground like that.
But then it would be denied to those that can cope with a bit of damp, something quite common in the UK.
Hopefully if the ground is soft rather than simply the grass too damp to mow, the owner will be selective with what units can use those pitches.
Closing a site because it is unsuitable for a particular type of unit, or client, seems OTT.
But the problem is that some will ignore what the owner has done to protect his grass. It's just happened tonight in the dark, a large M/H has just driven onto the Cl we're on and straight off the H/S onto the grass and guess what....yes got stuck!! This is certainly not the only time we've seen this happen, either.

If I may share a canny trick I've picked up over the years re grass clippings, this trick also works with Autumnal fallen leaves(non Autumnal too) if I know there is grass on any pitch not just CL pitches I wear Wellingtons,
I thought it was "Crocks" that were part of the regulation CC Uniform?

I'm waiting for someone to come up with a "sanitised" ultra premium pitch for those who have difficulty coping with great outdoors in general! You know, insects, visiting wildlife, other users, other users children, others users pets, other users BBQ, real grass, pretend grass, grass clippings, trees, leaves from trees, offensive countryside smells, noisy countryside animals, birds singing, cocks crowing, cows f*rting, sheep leaving bits of wool about, and as for rabbit poo..
I think they call them "Travel Lodges" or something like that.

Oh, they are so last decade! Even my waterproof 'go walks' are old hat my daughter tells me!
