Steady on, David, that's a C&CC site you're slagging off,  (twice), not a CAMC one! 

But to be fair, I said something similar back at the start of the thread. 

I was saying it's not worth more than £15 to me. I was being quite generous with that figure 

We paid £116 for six nights at Warwick recently. We knew it would be a grass pitch but the location was perfect so we went for grass rather than Tarmac next to the race course fence. 

If it had been £150 we'd have stayed elsewhere. 

the weather is set fair (blooming hot and dry) for the next two weeks .... or more.....

why would folk choose to pitch on hard chippings if a lovely grass pitch were available....and especially if cheaper?

this is an objective question.....I'm interested in the advantages or disadvantages of HS over grass when we are now in 'perfect grass conditions'.....

i can think of little more pleasant when touring in the UK than being on a lovely mown, dry sward of grass.....to park on chippings would be missing the opportunity....

yes, I get the boggy, wet pitch in winter thing....but in June, July August?

OK, the overall answer might be 'personal preference' but what practical issues contribute to the answer...?

for us,it certainly won't have anything to do with an awning as we don't have one....

No good asking me, BB, I've just been on grass (sans awning), no price incentive necessary! 

However, if I'd booked months ago and had a choice, I wouldn't have booked grass no matter how much cheaper it was!

none required for me either, I much prefer grass.....

Ive been running, jumping, throwing, batting, bowling, kicking, scoring, putting, lying and now vanning on it for as long as I can remember.....

not really into chipping much........unless it's off grass and over a bunker

to have the choice at booking time is nice, to have it cheaper is nicer

I love chipping, my life has been enjoyable with chipping👍🏻😊

My answer is 'personal preference' BB 

There's a variety of reasons mostly relating to awning use. There's less condensation on HS, no need to lift ground sheets (no need for groundsheets at all), etc

I'm not a fan of the 'great outdoors' and it's easier to ignore when you don't have to step out into it  

But most importantly my preferred footwear does not function well on grass. 

The weather might be set fair at the moment and I hope everyone enjoys it. However the Great British weather is rarely that predictable. Even if you book only a week or two ahead as we often do the weather can change either way. At least with a hardstanding you have all options covered although even if I was guaranteed hot sunny weather I would still prefer a hardstanding pitch.

I guess you don't THS then David?

Jay, I didi think some of the reasoning would be awning associated. as I said, we don't 'awning' so don't consider this aspect.

my preferred footwear works great with grass...not so good on gravel (too much blood)
