    Some Parents need to have a discussion with their kids about not cutting across pitches or running behind vans/motorhomes.perhaps a reminder wouldn't go amiss on club site info ?

    I know not everyone likes them but having hedged pitches stops this in it's tracks (pun intended)

    It is a regular problem. For us the best way to avoid the problem is to try and find a pitch backing on to a hedge or fence so it is not possible to use the pitch as a shortcut.

    I fully agree about not cutting over designated pitches, nor taking the short route which also intrudes on someone's patch, likewise wandering too close to others' windows and looking in.
    But I can't help thinking how this shows a side of caravanning which perhaps kept us tenting for years, mostly on fairly out-of-the-way sites.

    We aim not to intrude on others, and like them to respect our privacy, but at the same time our favourite tenting holiday was the one where everyone's route to the facilities went past our tent, without being too close. (All grass - no hard pitches nor paths, by the way.) The number of conversations we had with people just on their way by meant that after a few days we felt part of a community, a very friendly small one. A trip on that site back from the loo could take 30 minutes,what  with a discussion on one's family, another's choice of reading, and much more.
    We hope that vanishing inside our white walls doesn't lose us too much of that possibility - perhaps we'd better go on looking for remote, less sophisticated campsites rather than using too many C&MC sites, if chance encounters are so carefully avoided?
