Superb site shame about change of arrival time
This site has always been one of our favourite sites which we have frequently visited over the last 8 years. Sadly in 2016 new wardens took over & the atmosphere has changed , the arrival time has now changed to 13:00 instead of 12:00. Although I agree that the arrival & departure time should not be the same I do think this change is unjustified as most people have left the site by 11:00. It would have more sense to change the departure time to 11:00 & keep the arrival time 12:00 as most people know the departure time ,whereas the arrival time depends on the traffic & unforeseen circumstances. These times have now been put in place at Broomfield which has a very narrow country lane & is much more acceptable.
We have never experienced a problem to the approach road to the site in all the years we have been coming here. Now we are finding people leaving later ,well after 12:00 probably due to the change of arrival time & abusing it. On our recent visit a number of vans were leaving as late as 12:30 which is not on. What doesn't help is the unwelcome attitude if you arrive slightly early & then being made to wait at the reception area until everyone has left. There are always spaces available especially at the beginning & end of the season so why not let people in, it's ridiculous!
So come on wardens try being a little bit more relaxed & accommodating after all it's the members who keep the club going.
