We need more basic facility sites

There’s a CL In the New Forest offering a whole week for £70. Cheap sites abound.

It is all about location though for us. A £70 a week CL would be no more attractive to us than the New Forest Centenary Site, if it’s as remote as that is. So would need to know where it is located. BK and the camping in the forest site are OK in that respect.

I can assure you the facilities at Warwick are for the exclusive use of campers as they also are at Uttoxeter where the club leases the site for x number of months per year. Racegoers are not permitted onto the pitching areas at those two sites.
However, use of facilities on racecourse sites has nothing to do with the perceived need for more basic sites.

Thanks for this 👍
We were members of both but dropped C&CC in favour of CAMC some years ago - might be time for a rethink
We have recently booked with freedom camping club too which hasn’t charged us a membership fee

Thank you, & we will be happy to share & respond to them. Personally I think you are missing an opportunity being an authority mind🤷🏻♂️👍🏻

Pitches not being available is not the same as the public having access to site facilities.
No, I mentioned Uttoxeter as a further example of a racecourse site where the facilities are for campers only.
You're drifting way off topic, JV, and I’m leaving it there.

Yes, the Sustrans routes steer you away from the heavy traffic and onto quieter roads, some very quiet, but most routes are likely to be a mix of thinner and denser traffic with some (hopefully) being traffic free
Going off topic here BB but your quite wrong about the sustrans routes for up here and from others who I'm in contact with from all over the county who share their experience, perhaps it's in just your area? There are numerous cycle routes where no road use is at a minimum or not at all, I can easily cycle, and actually have done 50+ miles from home where the only on road use is a mile to the nearest off road cycle route north and south. From home I can, and have gone as far north at Old Hartley is all off road (and the off road continues northwards), as far south as Bishop Aulkland, as far west as Rookhope. We're just lucky we have all these old railway lines and old pit waggon ways. It would be a good new thread to share routes.

I recall very clearly you posting in past times that the club should have differential prices for grass and hardstanding to encourage their respective uses especially grass which you often said you preferred and now it has come to pass that grass is cheaper you should be happy?
I see it as a discount but you see it it as an extra expense, its all depends on one viewpoint but really it's all up to what one is prepared to pay.
Again another thread here about this rather than use this one.

No one said it wasn't serious but as you said all views should be listened to.
The thing is now harry is what you're going to do next to get what you want into actual pitches?
