At the beginning of our holiday to Orkney we had an overnight stop near Inverness with our caravan and my father's motorhome. The caravan was pitched on a very small hardstanding which was not much bigger than the van itself and the grassy area beside it was in a poor boggy state. The motorhome was pitched opposite the caravan on a nice big grassy pitch and so we decided to park our car alongside the motorhome. No sooner had I done this and was fixing up the electrics in the rain for the motorhome when a guy appeared from a caravan pitched immediately behind the motorhome and asked if I would move the car early in the morning so he could drive his caravan through the motorhome pitch. Caught on the hop and being the polite person I am I said yes. When I told my husband he was slightly cheesed off and on reflection so was I. The caravan which wanted to use my dad's pitch was located about 0.5m away from a caravan on it's adjacent pitch even though the pitch was large, obviously lined up for driving through my father's pitch. He had driven straight onto his pitch and unhitched with the hitch away from the road and instead facing my dad's pitch. Our questions were, was he unable to turn or reverse his van on his pitch and why when he arrived did he not just drive straight through and pitch up where my dad's motorhome was subsequently pitched? Are some people just stupid?
