Today is quite literally the first sunny caravanning day we have had this year and I'm sorry to say we are praying for rain.
I just cannot believe our luck. We booked on to a five van CL and arrived to find we are sharing the field with a rally. We've had Fagash Lil since 7ish this morning screeching, screaming, laughing, shouting up the field and generally making a noise. She is one of those women with a voice like a nutmeg grater who loves the sound of her own voice and thinks everyone else does too. Now the suns up, the tribe have got together. The bevvies are going down the noise levels are increasing tenfold, the kids are out with their football and we are sitting here with all the windows and doors shut trying to escape the noise. I did try to have a nap on the bed but gave up after about twenty minutes - I just wonder why we bothered to come at all because there's been no joy at all in this weekend whatsoever so far. The barbies are just stoking up as I write so we're hoping to get five minutes peace whilst FL's gob is filled with grub.
Just where do you stand as a Caravan Club member expecting Caravan Club Rules (i.e. 5 vans and no footballs for instance) and you are pitched on a coned off area of a field being used for a BCC rally? Surely we should have been advised on booking that this was the case? And the kids have the audacity to come on the CL coned off bit to play footie!!!! Thud. Thud. Thud. Its unrelenting.
Its never happened to us before and we certainly won't come here anymore, but it makes me a bit concerned that maybe we've just struck lucky up till now and this is more widespread that we know? Another thing I've noted is the electric steel wired armoured cable for the EHU is laid above ground, is this right? I've never been to a CC site like it to be totally honest.
