At the end of September we are looking to move sites from Tavistock to a site near Gretna Green, going to break my duck and look for a club site midway between the 2 that is very close to the M6, would only be a 1 night stopover midweek, dont want to drive thru country lanes miles from the M6

We stayed at Malvern in July and it’s 10 miles from the M5. Chose it over the CL at Droitwich Spa Marina but would likely go for that next time at only 2.5 miles from the M5.
Have to say though that the food at the Hanley Swan Inn was superb so maybe not!
Also stayed in York and initially booked Beechwood but changed to York Caravan Park as it looked more appealing and it was a good choice especially if you like huge individual shower rooms with toilet and basin.

It's unfortunate that Birmingham was placed exactly where we want to break our journeys. That’s why we generally head for Staffordshire going north and the Malvern area heading south.
No doubt Rufs will decide the best plan for him and allow for the first few miles via Tavistock and Mary Tavy being slow ones.

(Give or take 40 miles?)
