Just back from one of our local sites for a 3 day test to see that everything works as it should, ready for a 14 nighter to a lovely Cl North Norfolk in June.

We are both totally outraged by many of our fellow members that disregarded daily the site regulations regarding the covid 19 safety protections laid down at the Carsington site by the excellent wardens that go to great lengths to ensure the site is safe for every single one of its membership .

It wasn't just the one but the many. 

We  were on a pitch opposite the facilities block & the number of people entering & using the toilet areas with total disregard for wearing a mask inside, never mind stopping to use the hand gel sanitisation & wrist band control to show that a maximum of 6 people inside at anyone time.

Thank goodness we use our own caravan  end washroom, if this is how so called responsible people act when asked to perform simple instructions even a child of 5 could follow, the entire network should be shut down with immediate effect, because if it's happening on one site there will be others too.

We have booked a 5 week tour starting mid June using several CAMC sites, booked a few months back.  We have been trying to book nearby CLs instead, but most are fully booked, out of 10 CAMC  sites we have only managed to substitute 3 CLs/ small sites.


2 CAMC sites are no facilities, so that still leaves us 5 to possibly take a risk on!

We will however be using our own excellent on board facilities as far as possible, so should be fine.   Just looking forward to a holiday, not been away since October 2019.

We also have a 3 week Scottish tour booked for August/September, for this we will us one CAMC site, one CL, and 3 CCC sites.   That is far enough in the future that everywhere is not booked up, unlike June/July.

Depending on when our builders can come and do our bathroom project, we may also try for a week or two away in October

Like us, it sounds like you've got it all sorted Kjell. 😃  We've got a 10 day summer caravan jaunt booked for Northumberland; around 4 weeks for Cornwall and the West Country (caravan), and a cottage booked for a week in the Outer Hebrides (Lewis & Harris).

We've had a few days at Grafham Water CAMC site, a week at Conkers C&CC site over the MayDay weekend, and at some stage before Northumberland, we have Bridlington CAMC and Burrs CAMC booked.

We'll use our own facilities and we have booked all serviced pitches so others won't bother us too much.

Best thing is not to pitch near a toilet block (which is an open invitation for someone to cut across your pitch)  and watching what goes on will only annoy you. Anyone who has had one or both vaccinations will be relatively safe and those that use their own facilities even more so. In the famous words of Kenneth Wolstenholme, they think its all over but we all know we have not quite gotten to the final whistle yet!!!

We don't usually get much of a choice, David, as serviced pitches are usually smaller in number.  Should we go out on a Sunday, we never leave home until at least midday....  After saying that, I can't recall having a particular problem with folk cutting through.  Maybe we've been lucky.

I've no idea of compass's personal circumstance re shielding etc but there are many people going to work in supermarkets where Joe Public have every reason going as to why they don't wear masks or don't observe any kind of social distancing, or, just going to work as before sharing toilets & rest areas as before. If he/she is that 'outraged' then perhaps home behind a locked door is the best place for him/her.

Thanks for the advice, but after such a long period of time where thousands of our loved ones, family & friends were dying over the past 18 months. I stupidly expected people who had been given the chance and  freedom to go back into some kind of normality & start enjoying themselves would take on & do the simple hygiene tasks required to make it safer for everyone.

It won't stop us from touring, but we'll use just 5 van sites & the C&CC where they seem to understand that toilet blocks should probably never been opened in the first place.

The fact that the club had isolated the water supply to showers to stop them being used subvertly speaks volumes. 

If anything covid 19 as shown is that selfishness is alive & spreading faster than covid itself.

As for the rest of the morons that roam the club's sites obviously ignoring what is expected of themselves as terms & conditions of using CMC sites..... there is no solution or medication for being stupid.... either.

I agree totally with the comments that some people just don't give a fig about being careful regarding covid hygiene but the same can also be said about some CLs.

I have used five CLs since last September. Of these, two hand hand gel and sprays available at communal touch points, one had a sign only asking visitors to maintain social distances and two had absolutely nothing at all. The general hygiene awareness of one left a lot to be desired, the owner using the long fresh water filler hose for motorhomes  to wash out the chemical toilet disposal point on at least one occasion !!

I agree with DK. If watching other people on site annoys you, stop watching other people . Close your curtains.
