Does anyone know why the position of the pitch peg has been changed?  (Is it on all sites?) I don’t really want to look out onto my car from my awning and would much prefer it was behind my caravan with the caravan in the middle of the pitch.  It also means the grassed area to the side of the pitch remains unused or a s that the intention?

And yet, on a recent peg free zone site week, lots of people randomly parked, left side, right side, nose in, nose out, across the pitch and… 

No was was put out, no one was inconvenienced, everyone was happy. Even people proudly displaying their caravan club sticker happily joined in the random pitching free for all, freed from the tyranny of the peg.

Could that be the AS site you mentioned before Harry? Care to name it because it doesn't sound like any AS site we ever stayed at. undecided

We use club sites, but not exclusively.  The fact that we have to park to one side of a peg doesn't get me worked up in the slightest; why should it?  I'm on holiday, and there to enjoy myself, not let something as insignificant as that get in the way. It's how it works on club sites, no member (or non-member for that matter) is obliged to stay on club sites, so if that arrangement doesn't suit, the answer is very obvious.  I can't understand why it seems to be such an issue.

When are we likely to see any pictures of this fictional site you were on? as it seems you can find a picture of a dealers storage area to  unsuccessfully try to make a pointundecided

Please let me know where this free for all site is and then I and others can give it a wide berth.  That utopia you describe calls for that wonderful attribute consideration and I’m afraid some sadly lack this. I’ve witnessed those who tip up on sites and choose to pitch however they like with their paraphernalia placed all over the place with windbreaks and barriers staking claim to land ownership all achieved with a total disregard for safety and personal comfort of neighbours. These folk, the inconsiderate although few in number, really do exist and do pitch amongst us!  Do you not realise that if you ask the site staff they will help where they can with alternative pitching if it is possible. After all, it’s the staff who will have to sort it all out when it ends in tears. Not a pleasant task and very stressful I’d bet.

Oh, I think we've all twigged that Harry is a "wind up" merchant Bill, right back to the time he expressed his interest in "collecting" rages!  laughing

Just wonder if "white peg rage" made it to his list.  surprised

If that’s the case you and echo have wasted a lot of time and effort in attempted dialogue with him in this thread. I think he’s just misunderstood 😎

You seem rather fearful of being in any proximity to other people.

It’s mean to be be going on holiday, not an exercise in precision formation caravan parking.

They are very easily distressed. Place an upturned bucket over the sacred peg and watch the resultant curtain twitching and sly walk byes to see if the pegs been KIA or removed.
