    No it won't happen, places like St Agnes are in protected coastal areas and the grass is part of this special environment, the pitches are put to rest in the winter. It's surprising how this site and others meld into the landscape when not in use.

    The one sure thing is change but certain areas are unchanging so that others can enjoy in the future what we enjoy now.

    Some don't like change, new fangled ideas, new ways of living on the planet but that is the shock of the new, some adapt easily others say it can't ever happen.....wink

    Don't know about change. Club sites are like McDonalds or Little Chef. They all look the same.

     I'm surprised at you stating this combination.  I believe that you and others have posted that you do not feel that it is the responsibility of CC Ltd to do more to discourage excess use of electricity.  Why therefore should they help areas where there is a perceived wild camping problem?

    I don't think that I actually commented regarding CC's responsibilities regarding discouraging electric usage. I did say that I saw no financial benefit to the vast majority of members in metering as long as they were also paying for EHU bollard provision and meter provision/upkeep. 


     Some have posted that the CC should provide servicing for non site users - I believe that C&CC do this for a fee. My view is that the CC is primarily there to provide pitches on CC sites and access to CLs. In general I consider that it is not there to provide touring services of this nature to those who choose to use other than CLs or CC sites. 

    The other point that I was trying to make is that if CC provided servicing for non site users that there was a danger that such provision would only be worthwhile in areas were demands were high. These are likely to be in areas where local authorities are having problems with wild camping and local complaints.

    Surely if the CMC provides servicing the relevant area becomes a CMC site (complete with wardens)?

    Wild camping does not come into it as there would be difficulty in collecting the fees for the services provided.

    The suggestion was that the CC should allow members not stopping on site to discharge waste, take on water etc. and go on there way.

    Some C&CC sites have an arrangement where members can do just this and have use of showers etc for a 4 hour period I believe for a charge
