Random people walking over others' pitches

You were very lucky as I would have loved a caravan holiday when I was a child. What facilities did it have, or not have, compared with the modern vans? After a number of very wet camping trips in my 20s I toyed with the idea of buying a caravan. I had towed a cattle truck with a very large horse on a number of occasions so wasn't too daunted about towing.Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I never got around to it but around 35 years later (8 years ago), I decided that due to the amount of traffic these days and not liking the idea of reversing a caravan, I eventually took the decision to buy a motorhome instead. I just with that I had made the decision a lot sooner.

I see that this thread has wondered off a bit but vbfg's post caused me to reflect on my childhood experience. In the early 1950's when I was aged 6 - 10 (twin brother and elder sister) my family had a very old caravan which they had towed to the Warren Caravan Site near Abersoch in N Wales. I know the Warren is now an excellent site but then it offered few facilities and was polar opposite to the one pictured with loads of space around the caravans. There was a toilet block with showers (Hot and cold). The caravan was pretty basic, Elsan wc, gas lighting, no mains elec, no fridge (milk kept in an evaporation box), no water pump, kitchen area very small but really can't recall much on that! However, my memories are of wonderful holidays meeting up with the same families who came each year. Playing in the sand hills, walking over the LLanbedrog Old Man or on the beach into Abersoch. And, of course, the weather was always perfect! On a note relevant to this thread, there was no way anyone could walk over 'our' pitch as on 3 sides there were gorse bushes.
On thread I will put in my tu'penth. I do not like people taking a short cut over my pitch but have found that on the rare occasions it occurs a gentle word usually works - supported by judicious placing of sun loungers. But really, it is not the end of the earth!
