I am not sure if anyone has raised this incident, but it is a clear indication why spacings on site should be adhered to or even increased.

Take a look at the BBC news page on the web and review the devastation on the Caravan site at Stretton. Not checked if it is a CAMC site, but it is worth a view by all who complain about the club and the jobsworths who insist on pitching to the peg, although it would seem that the storage vans may be the ones badly affected.

    Apologies for the duplication, but the search engine failed to find any reference.

    Was not on a site though but on a storage area behind and hence so many outfits damaged

    As Easy T says, it was not on either the seasonal site or the adjoining static site but in the storage area.

    According to local reports it is thought to have been started deliberately. Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service have handed the investigation to the police.

    Ainmoor Grange no longer allow touring caravans according to ukcampsite.co.uk. My browser will not permit me to access the Ainmoor website to confirm this as it deems it to be a security risk.
