    Peace in our time

    If "Alfred" really exists good luck to you. The message was that the Cris/Brian/Clive thing has gone on long enough. Perish the thought that the spirit of Kanga lives on!

    Peace in our time

    Can the mod please vet all categories & threads as the NO RESPECT row seems to be duplicating like a virus in all areas! "Alfred" seems to be intent on throwing petrol on the fire, with refs to Cris etc. As a tentative contributor to this forum, I am minded now to stop contributing or lurking...

    Practical Caravan Magazine

    The latest edition is a tad better than of late but I agree with you abt the screwdrivers: nearly as sad as the drainer episode. The best mag is the CC one free to CC members and covered by the yearly sub.

    Favourite Food For Vans

    We really appreciate the oven now we have one. A roast chicken is a great easy meal; proper crispy baked spuds are fab; oven chips for the kids! For summer we bought a George Foreman grill, well a cheaper looki likeee really, and we use it in the awning or outside for most meals. Capitalises on...

    Recommendations please

    Strid Wood nr Grassington is a lovely site next to the Wharfe, with nice big hard pitches. Losehill in Castleton is a winner too, lots of nice pubs within walking distance from this one.These are both CC sites. Hope you have a great time wherever you go! Lorraine

    Bingham's Farm, nr Bridport, Dorset

    Thanks for the info. We are booked for August. Trying Binghams as a change from Eastfleet Farm which was a bit over-busy and with overstretched facilities last year. Will try all the pubs as suggested! Lorraine

    Dog Poo AND Waste Water

    I agree with Lord B. 3 yrs ago we visited a site on the east coast which boasted a "green lane" down to the beach. It was in reality a brown lane, with hundreds of deposits , & we had to take a detour of 2 mls when it was dark because you could not risk walking this lane in the dark.The site had...

    Hard or Grass Pitch

    Hard pitches tend to be level, they are cleaner in the wet and better drained. Drawbacks: hard on bare feet, need rock pegs for awnings.

    Campsite in Derbyshire?

    Losehill Caravan Club in Castleton is great for families. You are a few mins walk from Castleton which has loads of nice pubs. There are caves, walks and reservoirs on the doorstep. The site is a luxury one with huge flat pitches. There is a family room with internet access. I'd suggest booking...

    It all seems quiet

    Will this forum survive the Lickhill meet? As someone who has always shied away from rallies as being cringe-making I am intrigued as to the difference between the PC Forum event and the clubs' traditional version. I hope it will mark a new type of rally & I may attend in future! We went away...

    Warning for France etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cris you were v thoughtful to post this topic. Some of us are v susceptible to bites & stings. In N Brittany a few yrs ago I was bitten by sand flies - the site was on the dunes - & I was v ill with an infected bite. Mossies make a mossie-line for me but less so for the husband. He is wasp prey...

    chatsworth park, bakewell, cc site

    Caravan Club site so you get the more mature vanner, not so many kids. Beautiful area & ideal for walkers. The site is in the old walled garden of Chatsworth House; you go thro' a gate & into the estate grounds. Nothing on site for entertainment but village is 10 mins walk & has several pubs &...
