Has the club abandoned pitching guidelines? I've always been told quite firmly to reverse the van onto a pitch with the nearside corner next to the peg.
I'm currently at Malvern Hills and people are going freestyle with people seemingly pitching in any direction they want. I wish I'd been told this when I arrived as I would have ignored what I thought was a rule in favour of a better view.

I like that approach TW and can recall several sites where there was that sort of hands on friendly attitude. Some went further and asked if we would like help in reversing, unhitching and setting up, but invariably they were site owners rather than employees. They never gave us “pitching instructions”, and none of those sites had any sort of pegs.

Happens also on club sites, Mrs C got taught to reverse onto a pitch by one warden and many times been told if we needed to pitch help just ask.
While there might not be a peg there will be some system in place to ensure the correct 6m spacing (unless you're talking about abroad but then why would you be here?)

Now Burt, sorry Arthur, you know it upsets other posters when one answers for someone else
Why should I like it or not? Have I ever said one club, or even one site/country, is better than another? No, I have always said pick whatever system, site is best for you. You're the one that keeps pushing only one way?

As they are currently only doing contactless payments, we have found it quicker than most of our CAMC check ins. The balance of your payment is taken on the morning of arrival and you don’t even get out your vehicle. An information pack is handed over and you follow the bike. Generally we have been asked wether we would like to be close or far away from the facilities and occasionally any other requirements. Sometimes we have been shown a pitch and asked if it’s OK. In other cases shown 2 or 3 and asked to choose. I think it depends on how many they have free, as all our bookings have been HS with EHU. Our maximum wait for a guide has been 5 minutes to date. I didn’t think I would, but I quite like the system and would not object if the CAMC adopted it.
