The easiest way to make touring cheaper

“BTW, I think you're right, customers shouldn't just 'meekly' pay up, if we think prices are too high, we should vote with our feet and leave Club Sites to those who have actually weighed up the cost and thought it at least acceptable and at the best good value?”

I’ll ignore the condescending stuff at the start and say the quoted comment is blindingly obvious, BB. Nothing new there and it’s good to see you are seemingly amongst those of us who find club site prices acceptable at the right time in the right place. Good for you - it proves we should all keep open minds and not restrict ourselves in any way. 

This isn’t a battle between ‘us’, the members, and ‘them’, the club, and it’s good to see you and others appreciate that. 👍🏻

Some club sites are placed near to local towns and some are not. You choose what is good for you. A strange choice using Borrowdale there mind, if you want a walking holiday with Wainwrights on your caravan door step then there are none better? If you want to while away your trip to the lakes in the pubs and the curry houses in Keswick then why would you choose Borrowdale?

  CS,  Many members who do not know the Lake District would assume, looking at the address of the site, Borrowdale CAMC site Keswick that it is ideally placed for the town of Keswick would they not?

TF, I have kept away from CC sites for a while now due to the prices. My feeling is that I go away to browse an area or visit attractions and don't spend a lot of time on site. We are happy to use our own facilities so it makes more sense to us to pay less. Some people may enjoy spending a lot of time on site and of course they are entitled to their want and view. One thing that has crossed my mind though is that CL owners and the like may see an increase in customers due to people like you and me and put their prices up! Hope I am wrong and only time will tell.

JD yes that is a danger I agree.

CS, your earlier comment regarding my choice of second hand car is hardly relevant, so I will treat it with the distain it deserves!

we should vote with our feet and leave Club Sites

I think perhaps TW that perhaps BB means after his recent stay at two club sites, where I assume he meekly paid up the price and didn't think it acceptable or good value? (Although that is strange as he went from one club site straight to another?) he won't be going to any more sites?

He can't really go to another club site after writing that can he?

not very friendly there TF? oh well

Oh swifty, sorry Burt, that was not your point, you said Borrowdale was not handy for Keswick, and for someone like yourself who loves pies I can see the attraction

Now you're changing your point?

I give members more credit than you and others do. I am sure they would at a map to see where all the club sites are in the Lakes and if it fits in with their interests? I really can't believe that anyone would book a site based on an address. They would look at the site, see how far it is from Keswick (or whatever) and then decide to book. 

Or do they just put the post code into their sat nav and go?

Hmm, there was me almost congratulating BB on his open mindedness in choosing to use club sites recently but you’ve thrown a different light on it, Corners. 

Time will tell. Will he or won’t he walk from the club and will he or won’t he use club sites in future?🤔

 I am sure we will be there to remind him if he does?

This is very harry Potter isn't it? here  Of course I'm not saying that BB is anyway like Lucius Malfoy, or I'm harry, but I do see you TW as Dumbledore?
