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.

I know how you feel....it is not exclusive to CAMC sites.....we had a huge problem with this at CCC Cambridge when we were sited near the facilities but had not put up our awning.

Everyone just traipsed across our hardstanding, even though there was a path to the block.

Much worse than anything we had experienced on CAMC sites.

Even though I parked the car where the awning would have been, they still walked over our pitch, even between the caravan and the car!

If doesn't seem to bother folk on C&CC sites. They're more laid back in general and less territorial with a live and let live attitude. Perhaps that's why they call it The Friendly Club.🤷🏻‍♂️

It drives me nuts when people do that and they don’t get it when you say anything, loo at you like you have made the rule up, even without covid it is rude. ! Just because we haven’t put an awing up doesn’t mean our free space is a public thoroughfare.

I think you might be happier if you were to choose sites with enclosed hedged pitches.

We haven't found it a problem on any other CCC site, we have used quite a few, and we have no problem with people walking on the grass between pitches, but when you are sitting eating and people are walking right up along the side of the van, it does get rather tiresome.

Plus, the hardstanding had just had a fresh, thick layer of gravel put down so it was very " crunchy" when walked on, which at midnight is not ideal!

3/4 metres away in one direction was the grass, where they could have passed unheard, and slightly further away in the other direction was the paved path to the block, but of course that would have meant them walking about 20 metres further.

Otherwise, a nice site that we would use again.......but not that pitch!

Nooo, CAMC members can be equally annoying! I am more of a CL person really.

Looking back at the photo of BoleroBoy on a spacious hedged pitch I can’t help wondering why people who want privacy go to sites with an open plan layout - then grumble when they find that open plan means open access.
