Ground 'rules'

So I know we book our pitch but how far can we extend our 'teritory' beyond the gravel? What of the grass surrounding our pitch, can we leave items on this during our tenure (could be up to 21 nights) or do we need to be aware of site maintanence and those folk on the adjacent pitches? What's to do, what's considered good form, good etiquette, for the needs and comfort of all concerned?

Yes, I'm sure the rotaries are allowed but the question is where and when can they be placed? Next on the agenda of peripherals and their placement for consideration are flags and their poles!surprised

If we have any space behind our pitch we peg it down there,but if we only use it when needed (a big wash)we do not leave it in place  ,with the unpredictable UK climate we will also erect it under our wind out canopy to keep rain off smile

Ps we have been known to deploy a flag and pole in areas that have a high population of flying rats and gulls to keep them from useing the roof of the van as an airfield for circuits and bumpscoolsurprised

Blackpool South?

Just been looking for a site for a possible trip to the lumies and thought one of the photos looked familiar!

Ah yes, I thought et might actually have stayed on the site and taken the picture rather than lifting it straight from the club Web page. Oddly, he seems to have missed the first picture showing pitches divided by neat hedges! wink

To get back to the OP and his question - surely the grass strips between the hard standings are shared 50/50 unless warden says otherwise?

As appose to TDA, MOH and myself prefer an open, treeless site so that when it rains and then stops the trees do not continue to shed water onto the caravan roof with a series of heavy droplets thumping on it every time the wind blows. Treeless sites also give a better view of the countryside around.

PS we are not neighbour watchers nor do report perceived misdemeanours.

I'm with Redface. Dense tree cover does not enhance a site and it certainly does nothing for solar panel output and, for those with satellite TV, it's also problematic. A few sporadic ones for "landscaping" but no more.

You actually stayed on a site with all that grass, David? I'm truly shocked! wink

What about bird feeders then.

I was told off by the lady next door when I planted my bird feeder just off the hard standing. I was so shocked as she stated “ That’s My Grass “

I think she had a problem upstairs😩

She was wrong and I would have politely told her so.
