I'm sure this has been posted before but isn't it about time the Club standardise check in time.. and introduced a standard process . Its so frustrating that sites seem to have a multitude of arrival and depart times . Surely anyone leaving can get off pitch by 11am at the latest . Thus leaving a clear hour for narrow approach roads etc . All new  arrivals then know mid-day is a fixed time no matter what site you choose. This makes most difference to those on first day as the extra hour for pitching  is nice to have .  Wardens can open and close toilet blocks etc to suit the site and the staff . Why is that not possible ?

defensive?, hardly....just like to reply courteously these days as, if my (prodigious) memory serves me well, you used to get really upset if I pulled votre jambewink

If I have a little humourous dig back then I'm 'antagonistic'. If I answer you politely, I'm 'defensive'. Never going to get it quite right for you, am i?

however, enjoy your early arrivals. Guess that's the advantage of renting your own pitch in the same place.

sorry, but I can't make sense of your last sentence undecided

Wow you don't like your views/opinions being questioned do you BBsmile

I use italics to make clear it is from someone's post and not my words, I find it easier than using quotation marks. Have I debated the word better that you used or did I just ask whose definition of (it being) better are you using? or are you trying to avoid any answer? 

As for deflection, again you saying that doesn't make it true, and do I really have that power? I would have thought that yours and anyone's posts stands on its own merits and nothing I can do would affect that?

Was I talking about you, specifically?undecided

of course, if you think that's the case, by all means give us chapter and verse....

Why would I have been "upset" by any of your "leg pulling", BB (yes I can read, understand and even  speak a little French when necessary! smile).

But to explain my last sentence, a little while ago, there was a thread running which produced a whole lot of criticism of certain site users. You posted a  list of what you called "selfish" characteristics, first and most memorable of which was expecting to be allowed to arrive early when sites had a stated "earliest arrival time"! (Or, there again, maybe you never wrote any such thing! surprised)

Oh yes it can as some rural postcodes cover large areas, and hence the instructions for some sites "do not follow Sat nav to this site on final approachsurprised

Posted on 29/08/2021 12:32

Following sat nav is fine I do it all the time. Just don’t do it blindly. I use lat and long for the entrance and then check the route against the CC instructions, adding way points if required.

We always check route instructions for a site we have not visited before, ,we have  only once been misled and that was by a diversion that took us almost into a very narrow lane ,just stopped in timesurprised

So how many full postcodes do you know, that covers a 27/ 54 mile area.  so that would be between 729 and 2916 square miles

All the apps and devices i use ,use postcode so that could not happen today

Posted on 29/08/2021 13:00

I can use either and I presume post code was not to hand Having put in Tredegar I would normally pick the nearby sites (as I would also do if using a post code)and chose the exact CC location.
