Well there we are as one Ex👍🏻, me 5 star lover too, obvs not driving. Not for me the dust bowl with a glorious view but a Hotel with a glorious view👏🏻👏🏻. True I am not one up on you with that-you are actually equal to me👍🏻
Btw-when i said ‘one up’ I wasn’t suggesting superiority, I don’t think like that👍🏻

You been driving around with your eyes closed ???? check our Mar Menor for example in Spain, and for your information the Med is one of the most polluted seas in the world, and this is the latest info on the Seine
"Unfortunately, the current state of the river is not conducive to swimming – it’s so dirty that swimming is actually banned for health reasons. Célia Blauel, responsible for environment and water policy in Paris, warned Le Figaro newspaper that anyone who disobeys this rule risks ‘a nice dose of gastro and a nice big fine’. The river is thought to be polluted with E. coli bacteria, intestinal bacteria, natural pollutants and faecal matter, to name just a number of the risks."
there is a €4 billion clean up project in the pipeline ???
some sites in Spain for example LV's are parked nose to tail, I love overhere but it is not all a bed of roses

More common ground😊, I fully agree with the crowds thing & your excellent choice of cultural icons. Field no-Forest yes. It’s good for mental health, more so now in these stressful times. Re superiority-never as I’m a big believer in choice, no size fits all. We are all different animals with common ground who should be capable of respectful debate👏🏻👏🏻

Why has a thread about walking over a pitch disintegrated into a debate around how wonderful life is anywhere but here?🤷♀️ Of course there are wonderful things to see overseas, crowded and uncrowded. Same here as well.
The really adventurous embrace the whole lifestyle and decamp to live in their nirvana, and do it properly instead of huffing and puffing to all and sundry about how awful UK is, how they merely endure having to be here, how their lives are blighted by not being able to travel, etc.....
I have lots of friends and colleagues, even family, who have done exactly this. They love their lives, but with the change has come a bit more respect and toleration for UK. It’s one thing visiting somewhere, possible not even venturing far from the closed “holiday” areas that indigenous populations can only labour in, but quite another to become part of another community. I loved Greece, liked its people, adored its history, but got to see some of the less savoury aspects, away from the beaches, temples, expensive shopping malls, and know that it has a very different face, not one I was truly happy in.
Holidaying somewhere, and living somewhere, are two different things.

My Sister lived on Crete, my cousin lived in Australia, my best friends Sister lived first in Ramallah, (Palestine) Israel, but was given 24 hours to evacuate, now lives in Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Ex next door neighbour lives in a small fishing community away from tourist hotspots in Spain. All have tales of a different life, some good, some not so good. No different from here, with the exception of Ramallah. Daily body searches, a gun stuffed in your ribs, “payments” required to do certain things.
Some came back here, some didn’t. Good and bad everywhere.
Agree, it’s lovely to holiday somewhere very different, very nice. But as I said a holiday is but a snapshot of reality. It was Extugger’s rose tinted view of overseas that prompted my reply, I know you are quite Worldly wise🙂

You are more of what the RSPB would term “Summer Migrant” AD, don’t choose to live there in the Winter months......😁

I wouldn't dream of venturing anywhere near the Med, although now the Benidorm lot are now on sites in the UK, one can expect even more sewage in our rivers (although I do believe some can't even make to the WC on a certain club site)
No Rufs, my spectacles are very clean, just had eyes tested, thankfully perfect vision and I'm thankful too for my brain, which is not yet ravaged by any known abnormalities, so making informed decisions is still easy. 😀👍 As for rose-tinted views TTDA, seriously? I I'm not one who walks across other people's pitches either 😇
So why did that person walk across the OP's pitch? My answer is simple - because he can. You don't own any part of your allocated space, so there's no need to defend it as though your life depends on it. Chill out with a beer and get on with your holiday.

Apologies extugger, I thought this was your comparison of the World away from the UK......... unpolluted nirvana, sparsely populated, ever polite and thoughtful fellow campers, everything one’s heart could desire for that 5 star experience........
Definitely rose tinted. Unless of course you don’t care to face a few realities wherever you go.......😉

It drives me nuts when people do that and they don’t get it when you say anything, loo at you like you have made the rule up, even without covid it is rude. ! Just because we haven’t put an awing up doesn’t mean our free space is a public thoroughfare.

I know how you feel....it is not exclusive to CAMC sites.....we had a huge problem with this at CCC Cambridge when we were sited near the facilities but had not put up our awning.
Everyone just traipsed across our hardstanding, even though there was a path to the block.
Much worse than anything we had experienced on CAMC sites.
Even though I parked the car where the awning would have been, they still walked over our pitch, even between the caravan and the car!

If doesn't seem to bother folk on C&CC sites. They're more laid back in general and less territorial with a live and let live attitude. Perhaps that's why they call it The Friendly Club.🤷🏻♂️

I think you might be happier if you were to choose sites with enclosed hedged pitches.

We haven't found it a problem on any other CCC site, we have used quite a few, and we have no problem with people walking on the grass between pitches, but when you are sitting eating and people are walking right up along the side of the van, it does get rather tiresome.
Plus, the hardstanding had just had a fresh, thick layer of gravel put down so it was very " crunchy" when walked on, which at midnight is not ideal!
3/4 metres away in one direction was the grass, where they could have passed unheard, and slightly further away in the other direction was the paved path to the block, but of course that would have meant them walking about 20 metres further.
Otherwise, a nice site that we would use again.......but not that pitch!

Maybe you're more a CAMC man, Kj. Relax, they mean no harm ✌

Looking back at the photo of BoleroBoy on a spacious hedged pitch I can’t help wondering why people who want privacy go to sites with an open plan layout - then grumble when they find that open plan means open access.
