.I also contacted Saga this morning as like other members i could not find any reference in my documents regarding this. I am waiting on someone phoning back but the opinion seems to be that there is crossed wires somewhere. Is it possible that Heather had breakdown cover included with her car...

Interested to read of the van losing his skylight. I travelled on the A64 from York to Malton a couple of weeks ago and in the space of 10 minutes met 3 vans coming from the Scarborough direction with their large wide open. Could be a costly mistake by forgetting to check they are secure before...

Hi Dave, I would agree with john & nic the road from Stirling to Crainlarich is the best and in my opinion the easiest. There is no way i would go up Loch Lomond with a caravan, don't even like it solo. If you live in Glasgow why don't you take a picnic some day and try it, possibly making it...

jo-anne, I can confirm everything that has been said about B'Wood Grange. We stayed there for 10 nights at the beginning of August and although busy you did't feel hemmed in. As someone else said the pitches are big and there were some very large motor homes on site when we were there. There...

The comment from the lady in Scarborough is very relevant. I have heard a number of small site owners complain how much it costs them to have rubbish (recyclyed or not) uplifted and this has to come through in site fees. On a large CC site a short time ago i was amazed to see the cardboard etc...

Following the recent adverse comments re 1% of CC wardens can i speak in support of the other 99%. I have recently returned from 10 days at Beechwood Grange CC site in York. This was during probably the busiest time of the season with the site full most nights. There were lots of people about...

CC site at Beechwood Grange is within cycling distance, also if you wish you can leave your cycles at the Park & Ride at Monks Cross approx 5/10 minutes away. This is a large with site with approx 85% large hardstanding pitches. We stayed there for 10nights at the beginning of the month and...

Hi folks, thanks for your helpful replies. Sorry i did not explain myself properly. Philspadders got the reason why it happened in one. The van is new but the car is not as i have to use an adaptor which as has been mentioned on previous posts gives excess lengths of cable. I had it tied up with...

Coming back from holiday today and the cable from the caravan 13 pin plug came loose and was trailing on the ground. By the time i discovered it the friction had worn through the outer casing and some of the wiring rendering the cable usless. It is only approx. 6 inches from the plug, can i cut...

I would also like to highlight a case good service. The stiching on my porch awning became undone. I emailed the "Canvas Repair Centre" in Burton on Trent. Within 10minutes got a reply asking me to phone them. Spoke to Barrie who quoted a price including carriage. Awning picked up by carrier...

Thanks for that info Moonstone. Have booked Warthill Grange for Tues & Wed of this week before moving to Beechwood Grange on Thursday but may try Meadow Farm next week. William

Has anybody used any of these two sites. Any comments appreciated. William
