Not all about money

Those sites are a minority though and I'm sure we all realise tenters are generally not well catered for.

They are increasing in number however. When we joined in 2005 they were very few and far between. Clumber Park now has 6 electric tent pitches. That is out of 174 though, I would have thought they could run to a few more. As the site has 87 grass pitches it always seemed a bit odd they did not allow tents. I think the diversity into tents and Glamping is great. Allowing family members who do not have an RV to meet up for a holiday.

Impact injury. It’s not the running on the pavements that does it, it’s not wearing the right footwear. Back when I earned a living playing sport, (as opposed to planning and delivering sports services) sophisticated footwear, suitable for different activities was in its infancy. Hence my foot and joint issues. The shoulder injuries were also (high) impact. The nag dumped me over a fence. I cleared it, he didn’t, but thankfully I had a hat on, and the ambulance didn’t take long! 🤕😂

Not a pup tent. Two man ridge tent. Lower Wensleydale. It was a very long walk down that drive from the top to have a pee, and a right ruddy climb back up as well in the dark. Castleton I recall as a scrubby little patch that’s no longer there. The Racecourse Sites were best for camping, Hexham, Wincanton, Fakenham. So that’s a retrograde step for tent campers who are Club Members, all three of these no longer on network. I ended up joining CCC to find better camping options, especially as you can camp on CS sites.

"Pup tents" in those days read ridge tent

I am currently enjoying the benefits of a ladies cycle saddle. After sitting on some of the “blades” my OH can happily use, it’s sheer bliss😂

Just done 45 minutes climbing (virtually) up to lighthouse, Cap de Formentor. Without that saddle, I think I would need to be surgically extracted from his bike😵😁
