Which pitch
We spent 2 nights here as it was convenient for a visit to the NEC motorhome show. On arrival I was told that we had booked a grass pitch. This was unknown to me and I've never fully understood the Caravan Club differentiation between pitches with or without awning. I'd booked the last available pitch which was one with an awning (even though we don't use one) and all became clear as the grass pitches could take an awning and the tarmac pitches couldn't! Yes, that's right the non-awning pitches are on tarmac, which I believe is used as a car park when races are held. Obvious now. Anyway, the 'van ahead moved on to a corner pitch and we set up alongside. We'd already connected up and were having lunch whilst the other folk were still manoeuvring their motorhome back and to. In the end they moved elsewhere and another motorhome moved on to the corner pitch. Some time later, they too moved off and it transpired that the pitch was very boggy and they kept sinking. So be warned where you set up. Anyway, the new wardens were very friendly and chatty and the facilities were fine. We visited the Mill gardens, which were a delight and ate in ASK, where the food and atmosphere was rather disappointing. I think it's a good site, location wise, if you're visiting for something specific, it's just not one of the CC's most glamorous sites, but it is excellent value.
