Site Occupancy

Constantly, when I try to book a pitch during the summer months I find that all weekends are fully booked. This means that I am generally only able to book a maximum of 5 nights. If travelling any distance I would prefer a longer stay to make it worthwhile. I am sure there must be many other people who think the same.

Thus there are many midweek pitches remaining empty which could otherwise be sold . This seems to be a very inefficient use of pitches. Could the Club not consider reserving a number of pitches for bookings of say 7 nights or more . This would,I think, result in much greater occupancy of pitches midweek?

Your best bet is stay here and have bacon breakfasts every day. It looks as though you are glad of the excuse so enjoy

I am, certainly for this year, and I will really enjoy it, holidays away booked thru to end of September, with the exception of July/August, and we would not be camping overthere or overhere during those months, and have had no difficulty in finding sites/pitches, and if the weather is anything like today, it is going to be a bumper summer, I see you will be joining us in May, Southport is it ?

Difference is David that they are not islands and just run one country into the next like England, Wales and Scotland. If you consider Wales it is similar in size to Slovenia. In the past I have gone with a friend for a short break (many times) and on one occasion stayed in France, Belgium and Germany on a five day break. Would have travelled further but for increasing snow. The EU within Europe is a large landmass

Fantastic place, or it was, as a boy used to cycle from Blackburn to Southport for a day out, ruck sack full of grub for lunch on on arrival, full of apples that we scrumped on the way home. Great cycle ride as mostly on the flat, dont expect the club had a site in Southport in those days we used to caravan as a family in Scarborough and the surrounding area

I am looking at the United Kingdom as being ranked 11th in Europe

The united kingdom is not a single country as it is made up of four countries Portugal, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg etc are each a small part of a single Schengen travel area.

If you look as the countries within the UK travel area they are not that large. Wales, England, Scotland Northern Ireland are all fairly small countries. Also part of a smaller travel area than Schengen I was comparing like with like David

Sadly as a Lancastrian I miss the lower number of Lanky accents over the last 20 years.
