Would you help

The 'road blockers' that I meet are usually concerned not to be a hold up. That is why if they obviously are going to be a while I switch off the engine and if they seemed to be concerned let them know that it is not a problem.

I would not think it any sort of a problem, except for those who leave everything to the last second. You know the sort, have a place they need to be but never leave enough time. Myself, if I know I need to be somewhere at a set time, I build in a contingency. Clearly when leaving the site, wether with or without caravan attached, this is always a risk at certain times. Just allow for it.

This blocking business causes unnecessary bad feelings amongst fellow tourers.  If somebody hitching up is obviously holding things up unnecessarily, i.e. stopping and talking, then a polite word is in order (in my opinion). The danger of rushing to please somebody waiting could cause something to be missed and in the worst scenario, cause an accident. More patience for others please.

Some folk do need to employ a bit of common sense though. The last time we visited Chapel Lane we were on pitch 62. Beyond 57 there are three separate ways to the exit which are clearly visible. However, it did not stop someone stopping along side us with engine running until we hitched up. Lack of observation perhaps.

Common courtesy suggests that preliminary work should be completed before blocking takes place to minimise disruption. We experience similar problems with yachts arriving to use the club crane to remove masts without first having removed sails, disconnected electrics and slackened rigging. There we are also constrained by 'time and tide'.

What's wrong, can you not afford one?

Your statement is a double negative so you are telling me that I can afford a white van, you also make the incorrect assumption that a white van is more expensive than my top of the range 4X4 and twin axel 2017 caravan 🚘🤑😉

Too true John - some  years ago I rushed as I was causing a hold up and drove off with the Jockey wheel still down - the kind people I was holding up caught me!  And more recently I couldn't get the lights plugged in due to the angle I hitched at so drove a little way to get off the road for the people behind - again people rushed to warn me I hadn't finished!  Grand lot most CCers are!  Most that is but there will always be an inconsiderate one somewhere!
