Just had a lovely 5 day stay at the Hebden Bridge site, one of my favourites, although it is a very small site some people still can’t walk around the road to get to the water,waste and toilet dump instead walk across someone else’s pitch. Is it me or particularly in this age of social distancing does this annoy other members.

When ask politely to stop invading my space and maintain social distance they got grumpy.

Still the site is lovely Hebden Bridge just starting to get back to something like normal whilst observing the social distancing rules, unlike my pitch invader.

Oh I do R2B, but it's not here, it's "over there" where the seas and rivers are not polluted with sewage, the sites spacious, uncrowded and spotless, with 5 star facilities and patrons don't walk across your pitch. As you say, it's healhy to disagree. Believe me, you're definitely not one up on me

Well there we are as one Ex👍🏻, me 5 star lover too, obvs not driving. Not for me the dust bowl with a glorious view but a Hotel with a glorious view👏🏻👏🏻. True I am not one up on you with that-you are actually equal to me👍🏻

Btw-when i said ‘one up’ I wasn’t suggesting superiority, I don’t think like that👍🏻

You been driving around with your eyes closed ???? check our Mar Menor for example in Spain, and for your information the Med is one of the most polluted seas in the world, and this is the latest info on the Seine

"Unfortunately, the current state of the river is not conducive to swimming – it’s so dirty that swimming is actually banned for health reasons. Célia Blauel, responsible for environment and water policy in Paris, warned Le Figaro newspaper that anyone who disobeys this rule risks ‘a nice dose of gastro and a nice big fine’. The river is thought to be polluted with E. coli bacteria, intestinal bacteria, natural pollutants and faecal matter, to name just a number of the risks."

there is a €4 billion clean up project in the pipeline ???

some sites in Spain for example LV's are parked nose to tail, I love overhere but it is not all a bed of roses

Could be true or maybe it's because there is nowt worth seeing for most people but if you get a feeling of superiority out of sitting alone in a field good for you.

Places are popular usually for good reasons and sometimes it's a case of put up with the crowds or dont go. I dont enjoy crowds and given the choice usually avoid them but have made an exception for amazing places like Venice Florence Barcelona and many more.

More common ground😊, I fully agree with the crowds thing & your excellent choice of cultural icons. Field no-Forest yes. It’s good for mental health, more so now in these stressful times. Re superiority-never as I’m a big believer in choice, no size fits all. We are all different animals with common ground who should be capable of respectful debate👏🏻👏🏻

Why has a thread about walking over a pitch disintegrated into a debate around how wonderful life is anywhere but here?🤷‍♀️ Of course there are wonderful things to see overseas, crowded and uncrowded. Same here as well.

The really adventurous embrace the whole lifestyle and decamp to live in their nirvana, and do it properly instead of huffing and puffing to all and sundry about how awful UK is, how they merely endure having to be here, how their lives are blighted by not being able to travel, etc.....

I have lots of friends and colleagues, even family, who have done exactly this. They love their lives, but with the change has come a bit more respect and toleration for UK. It’s one thing visiting somewhere, possible not even venturing far from the closed “holiday” areas that indigenous populations can only labour in, but quite another to become part of another community. I loved Greece, liked its people, adored its history, but got to see some of the less savoury aspects, away from the beaches, temples, expensive shopping malls, and know that it has a very different face, not one I was truly happy in.

Holidaying somewhere, and living somewhere, are two different things.
