Dropped our caravan back in to storage yesterday. Making our way back to the exit barrier I sat behind a club mini tractor and trailer cursing at 9mph according to my cars speedo surprised

Moderator Edit:

This post isn't about mini tractors; it's about speed limits on site so it's been moved here and the title has been amended to better reflect the topic of the thread.

    Not everyone EuroT, some of us spend a tiny amount of time on sites, certainly not enough to clock what speeds others present might be achieving!😁

    Never had grass, JVB, my preferred choice was always St Bruno,  Flake of course - never that 'ready rubbed' stuff  !!

    We once saw a little lad (around 3/4 yo) on his trike doing at least 10mph, little legs pumping away like mad. He was duly stopped by the Warden, and politely informed he was going the wrong way round the sites one way system.........🤣

    In defence of all Wardens everywhere there is no Speedo on any of the Tractors owned by the club, so they can only go as fast as the car in front of them.

    I'm sitting here on a club site at the minute and I have yet to see one car going at walking pace. The rule is futile. If the 5mph signs around the site don't jog a drivers memory the no words from the warden will sink in either. The numerous posts over time on this subject only provides a repeated conversation. Nobody from HQ seems to care either. A few speed humps here and there do absolutely nothing.
