O.K.----What is the arrival time?

Unfortunately FB you may well find others being let in as that is what wardens have been asked to do. 

I have a degree of sympathy with the OP and I always carefully check the arrival instructions specific to the site in case there is a restricted/narrow access. We have only once arrived early, at Grassington which has a tight bend at the site entrance and was happy to wait. Perhaps introducing pre booking option of specific pitches is a part answer so those who are travelling long distances or delayed with traffic are not disadvantaged? I know there are also valid arguments against this however Even if there was a premium to pay for the privelige I would happily do it. However one thing is certain, I am not holding my breath for any form of response or answer from the CC anytime soon.....

the issue with a few sites is that there is nowhere to 'wait before entering reception' other than on route somewhere or out in the main  road...

Just back from Lady Margaret. Site very quiet. Noticed most units left on Sunday but as late as 4pm. Nothing wrong with that allowing users a full day on Sunday. Dont see the teeth gnashing blt about arrivals or departures as a big issue.

Hi all

Thanks for discussing and just to confirm a couple of Club changes since we launched our revised website.

Our system always gave the option 12.00-14.00 as earliest arrival time but for those sites with a 1pm arrival time this bracket has now been changed to 13.00-15.00. Hopefully this will stop confusion on those sites from now on.

A very small handful of sites allow arrivals in before 12 noon. White Water Park was one of those sites with an advertised arrival time of 10am (as per 2015/16 SIte Directory) which may be the reason you saw 11am arrivals Bernnard. To comply with other sites this has now been changed to 12 noon, again hopefully eradicating confusion.

Our sites, their approach roads, the wardens that run them (and our Members) are all different - hence different "rules". We are trying to relax our rules somewhat but some are there for the benefit of all and we'd hope people have the consideration to abide by them.

Regards

Helen

Thanks Helen---- A very concise and informative post.

Very difficult to abide by something that is so fluid!

Three to four years ago, 1.00pm arrival time crept in at Knaresborough. For years previous the usual 12.00 hrs applied and nothing had changed; strange to say the least!. Sent packing round site and off if you transgressed. One pair of Warden site only.

Now Knaresborough is being refurbished and will be staffed as a two Warden site when reopens in August. As this refurb also includes provision for separate 'In' and 'Out' roads question to staffer Helen Aaron is, will this 1.00pm hours be rescinded to fit in with the majority of sites. Thus reducing not only stress levels but also the chaotic situation this arrival time produced. If not why not; what benefit and to whom if continued with.
