Been as far as the corner shop for the newspaper, then filling bird feeders. So now I'm back in the house eating a choc ice , just to warm up of course
.Grey skies in Cheshire and a few snow flurries but bitterly cold wind. Hope the 'high sided ones' are all safe & sheltered nicely.
Now I'm going to curl up with the crossword until the Rugby starts, then, doubtless, I'll have a few 'cross words' of my own

Bitterly cold but dry here in Dorset, bit of a shock after yesterday
Been out to Wareham and stocked up with goodies from the market. Now enjoying a cup of tea with some rather moreish Lardy Cake.
Stay warm and enjoy your weekend folks, whatever you're doing.

You will get moved on from most lay-bys, and anyway you will need somewhere to get water and empty waste, so realistically that is not an option. I don't know that you would be allowed to camp in the motorway services either, no doubt they too have rules.
Hopefully you will get onto your pitch soon, but it would be a good idea to have a back up plan. As a holiday area, there must be other, non Club sites available, and are you still a member of the C&CC too?
I would be doing some serious research into what else is available in the area, just in case.

If that happens, JVB66, they'll give us our seasonal pitch here so no need elsewhere!

Sorry ABM,
we only have it as a special treat, couldn't resist this morning, we are on holiday. 0 -
Proper Lardy Cake is quite difficult to find, one I bought this morning was from bakery stall on the market and homemade. Delicious.
There is a small bakery in Stamford that sells a really good one.

Have just been out for a walk in Wareham Forest with the dog, driven back to the van by snow!
Passed the warden in his shorts

It looks like there's parking allowed on Fulbeck Avenue, Kj, which is close enough to the club site as motorhomes are parked on the side of the road there. We could park there over Easter if our seasonal pitch is unusable and still use the site facilities for water, waste etc. Having paid the club £1300, surely the warden wouldn't mind us coming into the site to get water etc. We'll just have to manage without EHU. However, from what we have been told, the wardens are going to try everything possible to get our pitch ready by 30th March. They have a non-awning pitch available for 29th night if necessary.
The road outside the site is Titnore Way. Turning left out of the site entrance along Titnore Way, there's a roundabout. Fulbeck Avenue starts from that roundabout leading to the roundabout with Fulbeck Way at the end of which is The Durrington Tesco Extra.

They can still cancel a seasonal pitch or even close a site down and refund money even if you are already in occupation of it, according to their T&Cs, in the event of an emergency such as flooding of the site.

Yes they could cancel it, but what will you do if you move off after 21 days, only to return 2 days later to be told, sorry ground too wet and no hardstanding left, no problem we will refund you but you will have to find another site. Do other seasonal users move off every 21 days, or do they simply leave the caravan unoccupied,

In my experiance the only time i have seen seasonal pitches vacated is if the member was going to have a holiday or needed to go elsewhere for a time,or towards the end of the season when the site is quieter and the warden wants to repair the long term seasonal pitch ready for the next year and may use other pitches on the short term

It doesn't make any difference whether you leave the caravan on the pitch or move it off for two nights. If the pitch becomes unusable, they will ask you to return to the site and remove your caravan from the pitch. They will then refund the £5.60 per night of unusable. Finding you another site is not an obligation for them. That's your problem according to what we were told by the warden.

Tammygirl. We had a lovely holiday in Puerto Del Carmen many years ago. Don't hurry back. It is bitterly cold here.

Yes, it nearly happened to us in Gatwick once, in winter, when even the hardstanding pitches were flooding. The warden warned us that if the rain continued for one more day, the site would be closed and all occupants refunded unused site fees and told to move off.

If it were anyone other than you Malcolm, I would think you were having me on!!
You are seriously proposing that you plan to park on a residential, and probably quite busy street, and sleep at the side of the road?
I would book that last nonawning pitch while it is still available!

There are no houses along that section of the road, Kj, just woodland.

Looks like a hotel there maybe? And the rear of some houses? A community centre or something? Then Tesco.
Now, if it were "over there" Tesco would probably welcome you into their car park for the night!
Seriously.......you really need a back up plan.
And I would not assume that the warden would be happy with you driving onto the site to fetch water and dump waste.

Huskydog, if there was flooding in your house, you would have to move out of your house too and become homeless!
Our mobile home is our home and we simply need the CMC to provide us with a pitch to park it on and I am paying them from my hard earned money to make such a provision! It's hardly rocket science, is it?
