I'm not impressed by the fact that so many Clubsites are fully booked all summer, but only for weekends. This effectively precludes booking for any longer that 5 days middweek, which isn't long enough for a typical holiday. There needs to be a proportion of places on each Clubsite reserved for longer stays.

Only ever stopped at one racecourse site..... some years ago at Uttoxeter, when we went with friends. I have popped into a few, just to visit. Uttoxeter was fine, but a bit restrictive.... you could only enter andxkeave the site at certain times when races were in....

It’s only a few days per year though DSB😁 We really love Exeter, great walking and cycling close by, easy access to lots of places. Warwick is another favourite, stayed there a few times. Fakenham is nice as well. Gentle stroll into town, easy access all over North Norfolk. We re discovered Hexham Racecourse this year (no longer Club). Very scenic location, but not like Club Site at all. Good facilities though, and a good price.

Posted on 31/12/2020 10:29 by TakethedogalongI hope they can manage to staff more this year, recall the ask for those interested in training as Wardens last year?
On a personal note, fingers crossed the Racecourse Sites re open, it’s these we miss the most.
Posted on 31/12/2020 11:31 by MethevenThat will most likely be us next year, I can't see us doing our usual late April to July 'overthere' unless things progress rapidly. We are already talking on a few UK bookings for that period (away from the coast) and interested in sites within canal towpaths, but things might change

Oh, that is a blow☹️ I will have a look and see if they are still offering pitches. Long time since we stayed at Market Rasen, but Fakenham we used numerous times, and I used to camp there with my Sister. I hope Exeter doesn’t go, that really is one of our favourites.
It might be that Racecourses are looking to get some alternative income in other ways. The set up at Hexham, with some nice statics going in is very attractive.
Posted on 31/12/2020 19:51 by nelliethehookerI see that both the racecourse sites at Fakenham and Market Rasen have left the network, according to the latest issue of the club's magazine.

Warwick Racecourse is excellent for cycling canals Metheven, we rode for miles down some good paths one stay. Straight from Site as well.👍
The Minnows Site, no longer Club, down near Tiverton is good as well, beautiful canal based Country Park, teeming with wildlife. We used to use a very basic CL right on the path, but it’s gone now sadly☹️
