Booking myth?

I was thinking aloud and not making any jibe a people who want a Saturday night away. We all need a break sometime.
The navigator and I are lucky enough to be flexible in arranging times to go away but tend to go from mid week to late midweek. Often I look for sites and find that the weekend is booked so cannot book through.
I have often thought about winging it and taking a chance on a no show, the odds against someone not turning up for some reason are fairly high, so we could fill the space. However there is a chance that we could be off the site. If returning after a night
in a lay-bys, this could lead to becoming embroiled in the 72 hour rule. Effectively tying any stay on a CC site to a minimum of 3 days.Rgds
Thanks for the reply, some good points

Would it be worth the expense? Not to me.
Me neither.
But maybe it's worth it to some, to have two choices available for summer weekends?
I really don't think anyone would do that would they? £40+ just to have two chances to book and cancel just outside 72 hours?
Stranger things have happened.
Anyway, I assume they would book two sites and then cancel the one that they didn't fancy going to?

Can you really go far enough in opposite directions for a weekend to get significantly different weather? It's not like a continental holiday where you can keep driving south until the sun comes out.

You can. If I went from here to Anglesey about 65 miles. To Holmes Chapel area about 40 miles so either 75 mins drive or 45 mins. So that is probably a seperation of 80 miles. When on hoiday in Scotland earlier this year we were able to miss bad weather
by travelling 25 miles west on a day out instead of 15 miles east.Dout many do though

Opposite sides of the Pennines can have incredibly different weather.
Fortunately, most of the rain falls on Lancashire before the clouds get over to Yorkshire

As Ian mentioned the Pennines are a significant divide. Forget about a weekend, you can vary where you go on a daily basis. We like Hawes, and simply by driving 12 / 15 miles you can experience two totally different types of weather. In May for instance, when thick cloud and mist has come in off the North Sea and traveled up the dales, it can be horribly cold and damp In Hawes, but bright and sunny in Ingleton, no guesses for where we picked to walk on those days.
