The CC in their wisdom have an up to the minute booking system via the t'interweb. But if you don't book within the first couple of days of the web being opened you have no chance. We can only go away at weekends and Cumbria is booked up for the whole of this season. If you phone on a Friday morning there may have been some cancellations. But I can not do that - I need a couple of days. There are endless cancellations and no shows because of this system. Something needs to be done. Why not allow only say 5 bookings to be made in advance. Or if you can only book more than 3 days in advance - so weekends can only be booked a week in advance. After all who knows in January what you will be doing the third week in August? It is a shambles and needs to be sorted. Any Views? MC
