If a CMC meber have you tried looking in N Devon for a fully serviced pitch on a CL? There are a couple in N Devon. Link to the map is on the CMC website under Discussions CLs.

Thanks Buckman.
yes we did look at CAMC. In the end I’m going back native with 16 amp EHU and using the aquaroll and wastemaster If I can find it! The water tap is very close so I think one aquaroll combined with our on board tanks will be fine. We have become lazy over the years so perhaps it won’t harm us to get back to realityπŸ€ͺBurrowhayes Porlock.

Beachball , we were going to travel on or stay at Waterrow if space.

But Sister in Law, is not good, so heading home in case the worst senario. And will travel closer to where they live, just for moral support. Nothing to do with C19. Just good old Cancer.
So sites around Waterlooville for us, Chichester C&McC or a pub with a CL /CS. Going to see how many beers I can get out of Dusty Dog This week. But I owe him a few first, got to chose a New king for Next Year.

Thanks BB! Low profile, otherwise it will upset locals by too many Grommits, and i understand that. We have stocked up on Frankfurters and cheese, Wurst Kase senario. Terminal though. πŸ˜“

If you're near enough to the water tap, could always do what a chap near us did....

Instead of carrying his aquaroll to the tap, he attached a hose to the tap and filled the aquaroll still in situ next to his caravan...

We've thought of trying to fit in another week or should I say a working holiday for me, as reasonable site near my work, so do what we done last week. Hubby had his holiday I went into work for my 2 x 12 hour shifts.

Sadly he's damaged Ham String so means its probably going to be a no go now

Morning all woosies and none woosies, sounds like your off on a jolly soon, maybe even today, shame we can’t be with you but maybe next time, we are though off today for 4 nights at a nice relaxing site just an hours drive away, New Lodge Farm near Corby, we have been several times and we’re hoping it’s as relaxing as previously, serviced pitches which reading posts on here it seems us oldies are more and more looking for, weather forecast is rubbish but it won’t stop us enjoying a break, I’ve still to fathom why a short break of a few days can feel like a much longer break regardless of weather, have a great time everyone venturing out in the dark and damp country side.

Your right on short breaks as when I worked we often left at Friday lunchtime and returned home Sunday evening. The instant you started out all thoughts of work issues disappeared.

I echo your wishes for the Woosies to enjoy the Fest.

Hi Beachball,
Storm Alex has greeted us with passion all night. Caravan and car have had a thorough washing.
Having triple checked the dish alignment with a Sproket type meter , my problem is the sky box has gone awol. Never mind we do have ordinary terrestrial from the EHU.
Burrowhayes was on our Covid cancelled Visits from May. You need to join us all one day. We had lunch at The Rock Inn today. First class πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

Burrowhayes is in a fine location but totally devoid of WiFi, mobile phone signal and TV bar the very basic BBC. No sky here but that’s another story. At Β£20 per night on non serviced pitch, you do get 16 amp EHU so you can’t moan. The ground is like a massive wet soggy sponge. So bad in fact we are kindly supplied with decking boards. The place is packed to capacity. I put that down to school half term. But no kids so people are still going awayπŸ‘πŸ‘. Had another email from my local dealer begging to buy my caravan!
