Where are THS listed on the website?

Or why not look in your site directory, supplied all members every 2 years, and search for a CL in the area you wish to visit. If you are not familiar with them they are small 5 van sites that offer facilities ranging from just water and a toilet emptying point through to all that a club site offer, and there are over 2200 of them spread through the British Isles.

If you had done your research about toilet rolls you will also have noticed that freezers were also in huge demand (to keep stocks of short life toilet rolls in)

I have tried that but as the CLs are mostly 'hobby' sites I've often had to leave messages and wait for a call back to know whether or not there' s space which makes for very laborious trip planning as one needs to know before planning a route and booking the next stop. It's alien to me to have to go where pitches are available rather than wander along and stop somewhere I want to be.

Having toured almost exclusively abroad by motorbike with a tent or by m/home for the past 40+ years I'm just not accustomed to, nor enjoy, having to pre-determine my route and overnight stops and the rigmarole of having to book ahead. I usually just get off the ferry and follow my nose, stopping on a whim (or an aire) or wherever looks interesting, maybe after just 10 miles or perhaps 150 miles. I've never yet failed to find an overnight stop of one sort or another.

Thanks for your replies. I appreciate that the U.K. is densely populated and that I have entered a steep learning curve. 

CCC members who have "paper membership" receive each month with their magazine a separate magazine called "Out and About" which has full details of every THS  due to operate throughout  the UK for the next few months/rest of the year  as well as details of rallies and weekend meets throughout the country scheduled for  the next calendar month. The information is easy to use as the venues are grouped into specific  geographical areas. 

I understand that regions of The Caravan Club used to organise temporary sites or weekend meets. (I don't know if they still do.) When I tried to find out more it was region by region and only publicised in the region's own booklet. In order to obtain a copy one had to contact the region directly. At that time there was no central information source as to what was available throughout the UK.

Spriddler, if you're happy with apps, the one you need is outandabout works a treat. See you on a THS sometime soon.👍
