How to pitch

Careful, this post is declined into attacks on people's choice of music.  Everyone is entitled to their own choice BUT there is no need to 'share' it with others who may not be so appreciative.

Amazing how this post has wondered from a question about pitching to music!

And whether it's more "manly" to dine inside or out! 

It's the way threads tend to go on here, C, and at least it's all been good humoured! 

Getting back on thread, perhaps that's the purpose of the massive awning - to accommodate the orchestra. 

We have a large van, but like to eat outside when possible.

We have a "canopy with sides " type awning, so eat out in it  when the weather allows, otherwise we eat inside.

if really nice, and we have not put up the Canopy, we would put out the table and eat totally outside.

It all depends on the weather and how long we are staying at the site.  We do not bother with the awning for 3 nights or less.ŵ

A good set of noise cancelling headphones Bluetoothed to the moby=bliss👍🏻

PS-not during the birdsong mind-that’s never to be missed👍🏻

"What I am always amazed to see is campervan owners ( typically) who sit outside wearing overcoats, bob caps etc for hours on end when any sensible person would sit inside their vehicle."

As for others I give the bobble hat a miss but as the saying goes "no such thing as bad weather , just the wrong clothing"

Key point, as many say, is we are all different and "sitting out" will be down to our preferences and tolerances.

For us when possible table and chairs are outside, if for a multitude of reasons, that's not best on any day we move into the awning.

Moving into the van is rare, we are talking Spring/Summer here, unless the temperature really drops.

Sitting outside, sun warm but not yet hot, croissants, jam a nice mango & passion fruit smoothie and freshly brewed coffee to hand is our idea of what being away in the van is about.

However, any good plan is adaptable so, having looked at the forecast for next week, on our first outing, I think there is a chance we will have all the above elements apart from the sun!

Navigateur.......you will have to share the headphones then and yes you will hear Dire Straights, but not the Pink one

CY you are an obvious fan of Chinese Whisper's a 3.6m Awning has grown into a massive one and a person playing their personal music in a fashion that is and would not offend others has become an Orchestra.

Can any mods tell me why my quite  innocent post was removed  

Of which I have again reported to Rowena
