It is reported in another forum (Autosleepers) that all Club sites will soon have two pitch markers for each pitch - and you pitch between the two.
I havent seen it anywhere on Club info or this forum.
Anyone know any more? I know people like to get really exercised about "pitching to the peg"!

Does make you wonder why people cant follow simple instruction on how to pitch. My view is that Motorhomes are the worst: as they only have one vehicle they think they can take a liberty

It is a wel, known fact that it does not matter what information to help members on arrival, is given ,whether it be verbal or in a handout given when on arrival,
Many will then ask the staff about information that they already have in their possession

I can see this thread going around in circles. A lot of us have an axe to grind and will put our penny worth in. I've said it before, I think twice, the bit of paper you are given says GUIDE. The fire regs distance is the important bit, and if we had gravel pitches distanced accordingly we could go nose in/out/across etc and as long as the outfit and awning sat on the gravel all would be fine.
But we know that would mean less pitches, availability would be an issue and we would have to pay even more. The site would also no longer look like a car park with outfits in nice boring parallel rows.
I don't like these regimental car parks and so like others my first choice of site will continue to be a CL.

Quite a few of the CCC sites we used last year they said "anywhere on the hardstanding" unless you wanted to put up an awning, then it was "caravan right over to one side so awning is on hardstanding".
This works fine on their narrower hardstandings.
On their larger ones they say van in the middle, car one side, awning the other side.
Where spacing was tight (Glencoe) there were 2 pegs and caravan and awning had to be between the 2 pegs.

There is only one factor which should determine pitching and that is the maintenance of fire breaks the so called rule of 3&6. When a grass finger or hedge between plots is much less than 3m then the fire break will actually project into what appears to be available and useful pitching space. May be two pegs will help define that zone in which car, caravan and awning must fit.

You'll be one of them, then. 🤣🤣

We arrived on a CC site today and the instruction was to "pitch to the peg, as per leaflet". I asked the (relief) warden/site manager about the new two peg system, but she knew nothing about it's implementation. She did say, however, that there would still be some that wouldn't pitch correctly, whatever they were told or shown!!😁
