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.

On many CCC sites I have found it a pointless waste of time. Particularly so as I would just pick the first suitable pitch. Not as if I need to circle the entire site nor await a guide. A site plan would be useful and particularly one with a north arrow

It’s a much more personal approach than that of this club plus it has the benefit for the warden/site owner of knowing units are pitched in an acceptable manner.

It is an approach that I neither want nor welcome and they have not stayed to see that I have pitched in a reasonable manner

I could report you for trolling but can't be bothered. I leave all that reporting nonsense to others.

A parking area would be of more use.

Not if you have mobility issues, especially on sites with steep inclines and if it is overcast I like to know where North is.

There are parking areas on club sites, they are labelled new arrivals and often have room for 6  outfits on larger sites, I can't remember seeing less than room for three outfits (car and caravan) even on small sites.

Leaving an outfit parked will just cause more congestion and affect those arriving after it.
