    Is that the arrival time of the supermarket delivery?undecidedwink

    Member arrival time has been pretty straightforward for a good while now. If you'd like to arrive at a time prior to the advertised just phone the site for advice. Simplesfoot-in-mouth

    Well, we go to M&S and load our shopping into ALDI bags, they are good and strong you know.laughing No to deliveries, you know what your getting when you pick your own.

    I personally would not want to see deliveries on  site , being in a new area and nipping to the shops is all part of the dream of getting away from the same routine at home We go to Angelsey a lot and use amongst other food outlets the tesco at Benllech you come out to views of the sea wonderful. Supporting local shops means that they thrive also farmers markets although the  prices are higher the qualiity is usualy better.

    We don't do home deliveries....but I do have an open mind about them on site....

    we shop when out and about...OH and I have a couple of large panniers each, in fact it's very surprising the amount you CAN carry on a bike, especially an electric one, and there's always the option of a rucksack, too...

    however, if we are doing a really large shop, including wine,  we just pull the van into a supermarket en route somewhere...

    Would this latest thought from the club allow for all sorts of food deliveries, veg boxes or something like www.cookfood.net ....I am warming to the idea of my meals being delivered?  wink

    We once had Fish and Chips delivered to White House Beach at Kessingland. We had to meet them at reception but the details of the service was in the information hut.

    Those look good brue, but quite expensive.  Certainly worth thinking about if you are a long way from an M&S or similar, and would save a lot of hassle with having all the ingredients.

    OH has bookmarked the site for when she fancies  a holiday from cooking, or when we are too doddery to shop and  cook  for ourselves.

    Good question, JKwink

    however, I might find some answers in Hyde Park this summer as we're going to see Roger Waters...smile

    A fast food outlet on site and a selection of coffee houses?

    Interesting that the above comment was made at about the same day as The Club announced the opening of a second "Wanderer" establishment on site doing just that! 

    For the record, I am all in favour of this move and have booked the next available weekend to visit Knaresborough - unfortunately that is in September, but it does tell us something!

    There's a very nice CL a few hundred yards away from Knaresborough Site, with all facilities. No doubt you could still eat in the restaurant?

    June was not available when I was setting up our wanderings on the way back from The National as that seemed a sensible time to go. And it is still not available as the Wednesday is fully booked. I mean, well, Wednesday! Surely members are not booking mid-week to mid-week now?

    No CLs for medical reasons to do with mains drainage that I'll not bore everyone with.  However, we want to try the full experience of having this additional facility on site. Nearest we got was Burrs with the Brown Cow pub at the entrance gate. Paid it many a visit as it was excellent, even if the portions were huge!

    Was at Brit Floyd in Glasgow last night.  Proper music PLUS the most wonderful lighting show yet. Highly recomended.

    Oh, and Mac Floyd on 24th at Cumbernauld.  Tickets in the poor seats still available.

    just watched the latest 'episode' (vlog) from the Happy Travellers...(from their bed...undecided)....but they did mention having a Morrisons Delivery, not for the first time...
    now, they are wardens (I'm pretty sure) at a site nr Chester so perhaps they are using rank....?

    i know it's not a club site but not whether guests can also get deliveries...I'm not sure...

    perhaps it can be done, perhaps they have a system but on a smaller scale....

    anyway, they're off to Sweden soon in their new van, never having been abroad and having just had many days frozen up completely...I like their style....

    We have deliveries to our home, we live on a single track road. There is room for the delivery driver to get on the drive. You would be amazed how many of these drivers cannot get they van on the drive. I get in with the caravan  easily, the entrance is 7 mts wide. So they park in the road to deliver, this causes uproars when people can't get by, abusive language to the drivers continually sound their horns. Normally the van is there  about 5 mins. Best of all the cars can go another way to get by, but that would be to easy. I'm divided on the issue, probably against unless a safe method is worked out.
