we've just returned from a break in wales.
After getting to the site, we were given a map showing where to go for our pitch - and told to follow the one way system.
while negotiating a particular turn (at 10 pm in pouring rain) around what could be said to be a tight turn with the tow car avoiding the rocks to on the outside - the caravan (25ft) went over the inside corner and ended up beached on a very large rock.
with no way of unhitching (spare wheel causing obstruction) myself and a chap with his son helping managed after nearly an hour, all of us grovelling in the mud, to jack up the caravan high enough for us to pull the rock out with a tow rope rapped around it.
We were told by the chap he'd nearly done the self same thing - but in broad daylight, and that it turns out that the regulars and those on "seasonal pitches" move the rocks before hand.
We now have a gash in the floor of 7ins x 9ins x 3/4 ins deep.
(We have pics of the rocks where we left them after getting free - taken by the other half while I started to set up camp. we have pics in daylight (still where we#d left them) and a few days later after they had finally been put back into place.
Our question is can we claim against the site (as there are no warnings about the rocks - they are not painted and in no way highlighted.)
When we left the site earlier today - several regulars helped move a number of rocks as they could see that the length of our outfit was going to cause issues.
with thanks in advance
