I know a few members are like us and mix in a few none Club Sites into a tour. Thought I would open up a thread for folks to post website links to any nice sites they come across, that might interest others.

This one to start with http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk/camping-caravan-sites-cirencester-glos.html

Just off A433 few miles from Cirencester, so ideal for Cotswolds area. Plenty to see and do in area, Pub is nice for food.

It’s the law, Fish, nothing to do with this club's rules.

 

Whoops, sorry, I forgot the 'no discussions' advice. 🤐

Just wondering why would anyone opt for a CL when the other club offers so much. Is this the main reason for the decline in the network?

They might not want to put in a toilet, which IMO would be a must if one is going to allow tents on the site.

If you mean the C&CC it offers me nothing that I cannot get from CMC and in some ways, with regard to their sites and my preferences less

Some of you may already know of Low Sizergh Barn Shop (especially if you've stayed at the CAMC Kendal site).

They have just opened their new campsite - a C&CC CS.

5 caravan pitches, 10 tent pitches and a camping pod.

Too near for us, but handy for the M6 etc.

P.S. I had better mention that the farm, shop and now campsite are run by a branch of our family!

It’s useful to know that some sites allow tents, might be useful for us, we still have our tent, and love sites like this.

How could you tell the difference  between a dog owner and a non-dog owner, I wonder?

The Dog Owner would have a dog leash; the other person wouldn't?sealed

The one who looks a lot less stressed  ,   and is dressed for the weather will be the dog ownercool

Plenty of us are glad there are no dog owners there.

You come across to me like the woman who once asked me to put my dog on its lead while I exercised it in my local country park (Burrs to be precise),  because apparently her 2 kids were frightened of dogs. She was most put out when I said no & suggested that a Sat afternoon in a country park was perhaps not the best place to be if she/her kids were frightened of dogs. ☺

I witness regularly the selfish way dog owners behave. Exercising their dogs on football pitches, childrens playgrounds, On club sites even when they have dog walks. etc. Multiple dogs on leads in towns getting in everyones way. But most annoying is dogs off lead with livestock. The dog owners stock answer " my dog is OK with sheep"> Lot of nonsense as the increase we see in Sheep being killed.
