CL Price Rises

And hard luck to the ones who like a handbook to keep in the car. 

I've just found another cl whose prices are so odd it's difficult to comprehend.

Over and above the daily pitch price it says a shower is £2.50 per day EACH and you must book it, why, because priority is given to people with small vans and motorhomes. What is the definition of a small van and why motorhomes?

Will cross that off my Go To list

.

Paying and booking for a shower does seem odd but the small could apply to motorhomes, in the same way as in small boys and girls could mean (and usually does) both boys and girls being small?

As you say I wonder how they decide what is small? Length, berths?

I wasn’t aware of this JK. (Mind, given how the Club deals with communication, it comes as no surprise) It might seem very old fashioned, but because we really like to tour around an area, we have always found the HB very useful. I made the mistake of recycling ours earlier this year, and waiting for the website to load, every time you want to check out an individual CL is an absolute PITA. If the website was fast and reliable, we would use it less, but all the buffering eats into your dongle data when tethered as well.

Actually I think it will similar to the membership card where you can opt for a hard copy. Who knows it might change by then

So  unless there is a replacement hard copy of all the other information that is in the HB it will be another excuse for those who have not been informed of the rules and club site etiquette .as the excuse that it is all on line is getting more feeble as time goes by

we were in a Halifax branch and were told more people are now using the branch network as the websites are now getting too unreliable ,

But it seems not as bad as this clubs already is (he is a wavering member as it seems many are now)

Ha ha….😁My bloody mindedness struck on that one. I want two plastic cards. Some of the older type CLs we use like to see a plastic card. 

And to get discounts many establishments like to see a members card as proof

Using smart?cards as I noticed when I was using the buses and to visit OH caused more delay when people were using them for their fares than just tapping a debit card🤔

Have you tried the App, mind you an an update to that was promised and I don't think that has yet arrived. Thinking about it, it might be tied to the introduction of deposits.  I find it more useful for touring than an outdated handbook. However in the past I have found sites missing from it. One of these days the Club might have a common site database for all applications and also produce a handbook from it for those who cannot do without hard copy.

peedee

Tried it, occasionally use it. Not that bothered, it is flawed. We like to get out OS maps, lay alongside CL map, and study areas, routes, alternative routes, etc…… the “big” picture approach suits us in the planning stage. We utilise other Apps and site websites alongside. Those who stick primarily to Club Sites probably will find Handbook superfluous to their needs, but we mix and match our stays. It’s the endless buffering and clicking on this website to get anywhere that totally ****** us off. 

But, we would survive. With or without.
