Hi Clive lovely update I too miss the caravan but with my mobility issues that was ruled out also not allowed on long trips abroad just wish we could go to New England .
Thanks Mel, I know this one already when it first opened, the pub The Red lion is very nice, but there is no footpath from the site, just grass and the road is too busy for Elaine's Buggy.Or this one

It says it is but I am not sure, It will be heaving with children as well ,,as they can "safely" swim paddle in the river there.
That's great , but 187 miles away from me, and a 4.5 hr tow.
Looking for a site with maybe 3/4 mile walk to a pub, but with a pavement suitable for a mobility buggy, preferably fsp.
We tend to see these sites 5 star reviews, have a quick drive to them say 1, 1/2 hrs, and then unfortunately find things are not as described,
ie. 5 stars because the fishing is great, sorry I don't fish,
Oh the Red kites are wonderfully, I have them around our house.
I don't particularly like wandering around Stately homes, we have Woburn Abbey 2 miles away.
Sorry maybe I am being too picky.
Sounds like you want a CL/CS at a pub - not that I've got any suggestions.
Yes, just like the Cl/cs at Hutton Le Hole, in Yorkshire but within 40 miles from us.
Thanks Bill, only 6 miles from us, nice walk down the canal to The three locks, or the pub The Dolphin.
Grove lock marina is another nice one right on the canal.
.Thats the pub just along the road from the nice CL where we stayed during a dire May two weeks in 2021. The landlord wouldn’t even open on Boris’ Covid Freedom Day on 17 th May 2021 on account of it being too wet and not enough people about ☹️
What a shame, when we had a week there, they could not be more helpful, even to the point of having ehu's in the carpark, for people. There was a large field behind the pub that had caravans in as well. Before COVID though.
Yes there was a caravan and tent gathering over one of the weekends in that large field. It’s a lovely area too.
Pretty scary at night time driving, came down from Newcastle, Middlesbrough, and then across the Blakley ridge, into Hutton Le Hole at about 10,pm. Didn't see another car over the moors.
Just looking at what miles you did in the Woosie Club i thought that would be no problem
Keep up BB😎. Mr and Mrs Hutch aren’t too chipper hence the reason we are trying to find something suitable nearer to their home.
Yes but not for a quick weekend away. When you are waiting for a couple of hospital appointments.
Actually i am not to happy i have been to doctors and hospital for the past 17 weeks but at present enjoying our long weekend in Bridlington
We have now and had for many years caravans with every facility we need. Now with the technology of a modern PV solar panel, then throughout the summer we don't need sites as such, along with not needing their current prices.
Whilst in recent years the availability of rallies like the C&CCs THS [temporary holiday site] are not as abundant as previously, we can find & afford to camp for weeks on end, sometimes at £12 pun, with for us the big plus of great company.
One alternative to being priced out of caravanning.

For us it just a glitch again this year, with hospital appointments, this year for me it has been eye problems since January. And a trapped nerve in my neck, Restricting on how far I could drive at a time.
Then when we were ready to get away I noticed that our favoured places were charging for a caravan and 1 person, 2 nd person was an extra £8 ,

I have noticed that prices have risen at a lot of sites, but there's still good value around - our average at CLs this year is £19.53 per night, all including electric some with toilets.
At 9 and 11 years old respectively, the costs for car and caravan are both fully amortized so despite the cost of diesel and sites, caravanning is still inexpensive.

Dynamic pricing certainly is still a thing. We tried to book a CAMC site last week to try the new van, phoned on the day to check for cancellations and was offered a road side pitch, which was fine. What was not fine was the £48 fee plus £1.25 per child. I offered £30 which was politely declined.
The site still had a free pitch that night, I'm guessing it never sold. I sent a polite email to the club explaining that being a member of a 'club' should come with benefits, and dynamic pricing just felt like exploitation. I never received a reply.

That's dynamic purchasing in action - well done.
I made an error when booking a CAMC site. The alteration seemed excessive, when I queried it I was told that had I booked correctly it would have been lsss expensive. It was more because of dynamic pricing. I was not entirely convinced, and never got around to checking, thinking he may have been confused over the definition.
I, personally, don’t think that this is in the spirit of a club.
