Ratios

I think there is, for many folks, a need for knowing exactly what you are going to get, and Club Sites give this aplenty. You only have to read some of the CL reviews to realise some new users are a tad unclear about what they are going to get, comments like “ there was no one there to meet us”, or “we had to find the tap and waste point ourselves”.

We have pitched up in garden centres, pubs, Rowing Clubs, churchyards, quaysides, forestry car parks, all legal. It’s what we love best to be honest, every stop off a mini adventure. Usually so much going on, to see, to taste, and above all space and usually peace and quiet. (Dartmoor next to firing range wasn’t quiet granted, but a lot of fun🤣)

My dream is to turn up in a converted double decker to a Club Site🤭 

Singing Summer holiday with Cliff? 

Would this be close to fulfilling your dream?

If I find the magazine I will re-read the article, but I thought it said ratio was now 50:50 but amongst new members there were more motorhomes. Doesn’t really matter, the take away is more motorhomes than caravans. Like a lot of others we are members for the CLs . Club sites do not offer what we want as a touring motorhomer. I think the extract copied above about shorter stays, moving on etc was really important. It shows that their own research shows what many of us have been saying for some time. There was reference to breakout groups discussing what the club should be doing in order to facilitate member interests, but no detail of those discussions were given. That is the really crucial part. 

I actually found the Council report bland and self congratulatory. Apparently no discussion about anything. I have been unable to find any actual minutes anywhere. Maybe I have not looked in the right place. As we never here from our elected council members we never know what ideas are being put forward.

Erm, no. Not a Cliff fan😁 We have seen a few like that, certainly one or two at Exeter, and a conversion complete with slide outs arrived on farm Cornish site we used to use at Bodinnick. American coach conversion.

No, I am thinking proper double decker. Downstairs for sleeping, bathroom, kitchen. Upstairs is lounge/dining, with an open top sun deck. (neat little silent butler lift for food from kitchen to dining installed🤣), tow a Jeep Wrangler, and might fit a sun canopy🤩 Now I might just pay £30 a night to stick that on a Club Site. No hook up required though, we would have solar panels. 

Check out this example, absolutely lovely. Not really geared up for a lot of touring as shown, a lot of loose stuff around, but what a finished project and source of adventure. Slightly off topic I know but, it is a true motoring home😁
