    turning point

    Dave wrote "People just jump on 4wds coz they look big, those who drive big engined other cars and MPVs use the same amount of fuel and in some cases push out more CO2 and other nasties, they just don't don't attract the same resentment (unless its a BMW of course)" I can't agree with that. I...

    Caravan and Camping club CLs

    The CL's are the only good thing about the C & C C, and although it pains me to say it, worth (even if the only thing) being a member for. We have stayed on dozens of them, and are usually between

    worried , verrrrry worried.

    Maybe it never came back and he's still looking for it!

    Learning French

    I bought a CD course that I play in the car, helps enormously with the pronunciation. (First I borrowed one from the library, to see how well I got on with it)

    Caravan Club - Norfolk Line prices

    Sorry, only the bottom half of my reply appeared there. It should have said "Thanks, you have got a good price there, I've always booked direct, but I'll try the Caravan Club next time, I was disappointed in Norfolk Lines this year when I tried to book with them......etc....."

    Caravan Club - Norfolk Line prices

    I've switched to SeaFrance as Norfolk Lines are charging for extra passengers as well, so with three kids they have priced themselves out of my league entirely. Sea France in October half term

    Motor homes

    No, it's just you :) Seriously, I'm a motor caravanner, and we're all friendly. I'm sure there is a them and us attitude between some motorhome owners and equally some caravanners, but like you, we have three kids, and say hello to everyone, and everyone answers us. I think as it is easier to...

    C&CC OFFICIALS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

    I'm sure the "one pitch for the duration is for the benefit of the 'guests' isn't true. This was the very reason we weren't allowed to book the campsite we wanted, as the days we wanted were available, but over different types of pitch on the same site. We couldn't book online as the C & C C...

    Staying at Disney

    Definately only motorhomes for overnight stops, I can't remember the price as we have a season ticket, but it was dearer than the car price.

    C&CC OFFICIALS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

    Please do not patronise me by "thanking me for your support". Whilst it is good that a representative of the Club has joined and is responding, I would be grateful for a serious discussion. I am disappointed that you appear to refuse to accept that there is any need for further discussion, I...

    Driving in Belgium & Brussels sites

    I've been there, and cyclists always have the right of way. Everytime. It's something you really need to be aware of, particarly in towns, where you see them, you know they've seen you, and after you have now dismissed then from your mind as in every other sane country they would have stopped...

    Staying at Disney

    Sorry it's too late to answer MAM's posting, but we've only recently come back from Devon ourselves, but I hope it helps every one else. And as it's a private aire at Disney, it's strictly motorhomes only I'm afraid, no caravans or tents are allowed to stay.

    Staying at Disney

    I have been here a few times. Quick (long) summary It is just a tarmac car park, officially it has a waste point and water taps for use by coaches and motorhomes between the end of Easter to the end of Autumn. In summer, the dumping point, designed for coaches, is open, and you can drive on...

    C&CC OFFICIALS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

    As a correction to the above, I should have said in the UK parks & touring section, not general. My apologies for the confusion.

    C&CC OFFICIALS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS

    Hello Ruth, do you not think that having over 5% of your membership being dis-satisfied is a worrying number? On the average small site of 60 pitches that must mean at least 3 were upset by the experience. You have mentioned your magazine as a source for feedback, I cannot remember you ever...
