Upon arrival at Mill Farm we arrived at the security gate and rang the bell. After a while a youth appeared and informed us that the owners were away. I introduced myself and ask if we could enter the CL field and site ourselves, yes said OK. Upon entering the field we found pitches 1& 4 occupied and also another caravan was site between pitches 3 & 4 this left pitch no5 vacant. Pitch no5 was a hard standing pitch, it also had a telegraph-pole/electric supply cable and was backed by high trees and it also had the main site water supply point on it. There was two electric points, one to pitch no5 and the other pointing to a grassed area adjacent to pitch 5. We took this to be a spare pitch, so we chose to park our caravan on it. The weather that day, had been described by the BBC weather people as the hottest day of the year. Also, we had purchased a new awning, but as we had never put this up before had problems sorting everything out and as a result it took us and hour and half to put it up and site our outfit. Prior to our visit my wife had been quite poorly and what with the weather and my frustration we were very glad as we finished doing everything. Just as I was putting in the last peg the site gat opened and in drove another caravan. As we were the forth caravan on site I presumed that this was the last caravan to arrive. As the outfit drove in, the lady passenger got out and closed the gate as the outfit drove in. I called out to her a,” cheery Hell,” but got no reply. I thought that she had not heard me, so I called out again, and again got no reply. Then the driver of the outfit walked over to us and told me that he was the owner and said that we must take everything up and move the 16 feet to our right onto pitch no5. I was taken aback by his petty and pedantic attitude. What significant difference would this 16 feet make? Prior to booking any CL site we very carefully choose sites that advertise grass, as we are old-time caravaners who prefer to site our caravan and awning on grass, as we do not like hard standings. In fact this CL is advertised within the members booklet as grassed and does not mention that members must only use the hard standings My wife and I are pensioners and have visited hundreds of caravan sites but have never been treated in such a rude and unfriendly way. If Mr. & Mrs. Marsden require visitor to park their units in a certain position they should have posted these instructions on the site. I was not going to go through another two hours or so taking my awning down , pegs out water moved and the putting every thing back again, so we decided to leave. I WOULD ADVISE ANY MEMBER NOT TO VISIT THIS CL UNLESS THEY WANT TO BE REGIMENTED AND ORDERED ABOUT. al at Mill Farm we arrived at the security gate and rang the bell.
