It would be great to have feedback on the caravan sites and how the safety measures are working. We will be watching for the next two weeks to see how safe the sites are before we decide to start touring again.  Maybe a lot of people will put reviews on individual caravan sites.

Thank you.

I saw on the BBC that some caravans had pitched up on the Quiet Site in the lakes (which is a few miles from Troutbeck Head but more expensive) at 6 am. So it's not just club sites where this happens.

I am amazed that everyone is so keen to be in their outfits.

Slightly off topic, I've been reading about the Windermere Cruises and how they are operating from today, They are running but you have to book in advance a specific seat on a specific date, also just circular cruises atm. I suppose it saves all that queuing.

Busy but about average for a July Saturday I reckon. 

Btw, that's a good service area for Caravans parking, as you can see.

PS. Note the inconsiderate parking of the t/a unit on the end. It’s blocking the HGV route.😤

See my PS above. The herringbone parking is for Caravans while HGVs have the spaces behind - if they can get there - unless things have changed since I was last there.

Good afternoon, I am booked for Great Yarmouth racecourse tomorrow, I was under the impression we would be contacted to arrange contactless payment, staggered arrival times etc, but heard nothing, no answer from site or booking office. Does anyone no anything or heard anything?

thank you all

Apparently HGV drivers have been a bit caught out by numbers of vans overnighting at Services. A few complaints about all space taken up. It’s a very very long time since we overnighted at TD. In fact I think Cruise Missile convoys we’re still on the go😂
