I run a “basic CL” or “Off Grid CL” and have been asked by a couple of members to start a new discussion about the Non-EHU Sites List and Google Map we have created so that others so inclined may find it of use.

SO IF YOU USE OFF GRID CLS YOU MAY LIKE THE FOLLOWING and you can see how many Non - EHU (Off Grid) CAMC CLs are out there!
I have produced a sheadsheet database of the CAMC non EHU (Off Grid CLs)
It is available for anyone of view with the link. Click here to open the Non EHU CL sheet
The default view of the sheet should be CLs sorted by County. There are currently 434 listed on this sheet along with the postcodes. You can scroll up and down the list on the right vertical scroll bar and left & right on the bottom scroll bar. There are links to the CLs page listing on the CAMC website in column 5 which should open a separate page and take you there, to the right of that there will be a blue dot if they have images to view. To the right of this is a range of facilities available a dot against CLs row means available. If you view the Non EHU CL Google sheet by clicking a sharing link or from the link above on this page on a computer you will be able to sort data by filtering what you do or don’t want (there are some “filter views” already set up! “A-Z County”, “A-Z CL Name” , Postcode, etc)
Look for Filter Views along the icon menu bar above the sheet for  to the right will be a down arrow if you click that it will show the filterviews already set up go down and click the one you wish to view. You can also you hover over the top on the right of the column header (the cell where the letters are) a down type arrow will appear or if you see  you will be able to sort sheet, click it and click sort A-Z (this work on the the dots as will group them all together!)

We have now produced a Google Map to show the location and info of each of the non EHU/Off Grid CLs visited in the April 2018 updated database Click here to view. You can zoom in on the area you are interested in and click the icons, this will bring up the data on the CL.

If you find an issue or would like us to edit/add an entry please leave a comment on the sheet page or email me. We will update the Google sheet monthly after going through the Club Magazine CLs update page.

If the links dont work both are available via your website https://newtongrove.co.uk/find-a-non-ehu-cl/

Hi Merve thanks for your input on this discussion. I agree the continuing loss on non–EHU sites at this rate is worrying espiecially with no new ones opening! If this decline were to continue each month in 5 years no non EHU CLs! Maybe it’s what the Club wants as it seams never to promote them as an alternative.
As an example can not search for them on the Club website, in this month magazine they featured stone circles we are 15 minutes/ 8.6 miles away from the Rollright Stones ancient site- stone ring not a mention, seem only to mention one club site and one CL! In the Events Diary page Bloxham Steam Rally 2.5 miles away only mention is the temporary site (not everyone wants to stop at the event!) no club sites or CLs listed. Sorry rant over.  Have learnt you have not to rely on the Club get yourself a website etc etc ……

Thanks for your support & all the others who use Off Grid Cls
Not booked my Seychelles break yet though would save up for maybe a moon trip!

Johnny, I agree with you regarding the club. They are not impartial when it comes to supporting their own CLs- particularly if it’s a non EHU CL. Every month a part of the country covered. They would have you believe that you can only use Club Sites to get to these places!! Yes, a website dealing with Non EHU and offgrid matters is a brilliant idea. Let me know if I can help in any way. We have to look after ourselves it would appear. Nicky, I believe,  has forwarded a request regarding an exposé on MODERN offgrid living so let’s see if their own staff can do something or will she be picking up her P45?🤣🤣🤣. Now I have my Lithium Battery there’s even more reason to cover it!

Merve you must be one of the first to try out Lithium Battery/ies I hope you will post an update to “How to thrive on a non 240v site!” discussion on your setup & how you get on with them this year. Thanks for offer of help re: Non EHU and off grid matters website, or maybe set up a Face book group - I think is a job for the winter months

Not the case Johnny, there was 1 last month, Rosedale at Skegness, and 1 the month before, Bridge Fm, Wickenby, Lincoln. 

Can't be bothered to go back further but you get my gist, I guess.wink

Nelliethe hooker thanks got the gist.

I did add Rosedale on 6th May & the other before that - My comment was based on the entries in this months CAMC June Magazine !

Hi Resthaven Farm CL
Hope you are have a great year so far. I have checked the database list and the google map and you are on both.
I think it was Merve and myself were discussing perhaps setting up a website or even a Face book page about Non EHU – Off grid CLs and off grid matters. I think this is something for the quieter months when I have got a bit more time. Would you be interested in contributing to a Face book group if I do set it up?
If you have a website I can add a link to it on the Google map if you let me have the address and I am also thinking of adding a face book link on the map listing as well.
All the best John

Sunshine Park now added to the map & list.

Interestingly I checked how many CLs listed on CAMC website search 2250 and how many EHU sites 1824 this gives us a total of 426 Off Grid CLs I have 431 listed so it looks as more losses to come!. If anyone knows of any errors in list or of closures before they are published in next month’s Club magazine please let me know.
