Leaving because unable to book

It was busy when we were on a Cl near Looe a couple  of xmases ago

before moving on to Hillhead for New year

I did 24 hours in Penzance Cornwall a few years ago! Admittedly I did go on the train overnight, and then came back towing our old van with OH. Still enjoyed it though. We have done weekends in Cornwall though from home to Fowey, some 350 plus miles in the past. Length of Yorkshire end to end is not far off 100 miles, so we regularly do this as we live in the very South, but love Northumberland/Durham area.

We got to know the areas of Cornwall we visited extremely well, that's Penwith, Restormal districts. We also learned not to be down there in August! A good map and an intimate knowledge of local shortcuts is of great value! But not with a huge caravan on the back

Delighted  to  hear  that,  JK  'cos  that  mobile chippy  deserves  all  the  custom   he/she  can  get  !!  ( Not  sure  which  of  'em  is  the  Boss   )

Best  wishes,  may  your  days  off  be  productive 

Glad you enjoyed a few days at the Autocruise owners club ABM, same time next year for Trevithick Day?

We've definitely got one of the best chippy vans in the south west

Mmm? Does the south have ANY decent chippys? Peter Kay and 'doest tha 'ave owt moist?' springs to mind. 🤣

Course we have and oggie shops, too. None of your old black puddin stuff down here. 

This is a myth and the myth is raising its head once again! If you try to book two sites for the same days the system will flag up that you are double booking and won't let you do this! Why does this myth still prevai, is it that some just wish it can be done because it suits their arguement?

I  just  might  be  there  JK,  and  I  promise  you  I  will  try  my  hardest  to  react  nicely  if  you  speak  to  me,  honest 

The  ability to pack up and take a touring trip seems to over unless you actively book up when booking dates start at the beginning of the year.

many of our mid week to mid week breaks have been marred by a site being full on a Saturday night but having spaces available on the Friday or Sunday night.

seems the club is happier to take £30 for a night and loose £200 for long booking.

tried asking if we could take any cancelled booking, but neither the wardens (why would they, as their computer says no) nor the club are able to manage a reservation system.  I am no spending  my day sitting punching buttons in the hope I can pick up a cancelled booking on a site I am already pitched on.

Why not use CLs and commercial sites then, Tony. There's usually a much better chance of getting on one that you select.
