I used the Club Route Planner for a route from Tewksbury Abbey site the the Hunters Moon site but noticed the following:

DisclaimerRoutes provided may include roads unsuitable for vehicles towing trailers or caravans. There may also be specific weight,
width or height restrictions. For caravan-friendly local directions (final approach) to Club Sites and Certificated Locations (CLs), please include a Club Site/CL in your route .

In view of this I contacted the Club and asked if they could give me a safe route. This is the reply I got.

Thank you for your email.

Hi Scott,

 Thanks for your reply but unfortunately it does not answer my query or help in any way.

Before contacting you I did use the Club Route Planner which gave me a route, along with the following "Disclaimer" (See above)

This is the very reason I contacted the Club for help. The local information will always be found with the site information, but I am going to travel about 150 before the Final Approach. I am more than a little surprised that the Club would provide a route
that MAY be unsuitable for vehicles towing trailers or caravans. Surely the Club would know that we, the Members will be towing a caravan.

If you are unable to assist with a safe route maybe I should ask the (Friendly club) Camping & Caravan Club.

Disappointed member.

If anybody can help with a safe route, I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
