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 M6undecided

Chapel Lane, just south of Birmingham might be an option - within easy reach of the M42

There's also High Onn - get off at Juncion 12 of M5 (I think).  No toilet block though...

 Good choice ttda, we have used that CL a couple of times in the past. Very handy for a stopover and little time lost.

If it was me I would still push on beyond Birmingham before stopping for the night.

Oi, Mikey! That was my idea! wink

(Though I'm sure TtDA would agree!) 👍

Hi Rufs, I guess you are starting from the Woodovis site again - you are a rarity on here!  Try the Horn of Plenty hotel restaurant nearby if you fancy a posh lunch. 

Going north we often leave  the M5 at Tewkesbury after the unequal struggle to creep past Bristol, then on via the Evesham and Alcester by passes. That points you straight to the Chapel Lane club site at Wythal - although we often aimed further east to see how Marc and Angela had developed their smart site at Somerswood. We remember them first starting.   Adults only these days.

From Somerswood you are straight on to the M6 toll road next morning and miss the worst of the Birmingham and the Black Country traffic.
