Note to self, buy a tow rope

Another example of why wardens should be allowed to allocate pitches to avoid this happening

Not only did it spoil your visit but no doubt damaged the pitch for the next visitor

No sense in putting motorhomes on pitches they will most likely get stuck on

Allocating a hard pitch to a motor caravan would have required allocating a grass pitch to a trailer caravan. Why should another member who arrived earlier be deprived a dry pitch simply becaue they do not use a motor caravan? Much better to close pitch and cancel bookings that way everyone gets deprived of a stay.

I was present at this incident , and to put some balance on it here is a different view .

Yes the area was very soggy , and everyone was having issues with moving around ,  with regard to pitch allocation I always thought hardstanding / grass pitches could be pre booked , but apparently not .

Unfortunately this member did not help the situation in carrying over his annoyance over the disagreement regarding pitch allocation . and was a bit surly with the warden .

If the warden did not have a tow rope ,that is unfortunate , but not a reason to be unpleasant, nobody had a tow rope , not even me .

I was one of those who helped to push the motorhome off the pitch , and despite repeated requests to be light on the throttle , the member used full revs , lots of when spin and  left serious ruts in the grass , which I understand from the warden will take months to put right .

Finally , I was on the adjacent pitch with a caravan  and managed to pull off with no wheel spin or drama

The warden then intimated that all the grass pitches would  have to be closed due to the wet conditions

Wardens are permitted to tow off caravans using towball and caravan hitch but not motorhomes. Mayday will recover however with no additional charge. 

As for pitches not suitable for a motorhome then they are not suitable for me and I shall not be stopping if told to use such a pitch
