Avoid the Club Sites, stick to the CL Sites, even though some of them are getting expensive. Every time I want to stop at a Club Site I get palpitations at the prices they want. This is definitely my last year with them. It may be a Club for the members, but it does not reflect it in the prices they charge.

If it helps-don’t go into the middle of a tinder dry straw field, don’t build a big fire in high winds, always have a big bucket of water handy, don’t set a fire where regs suggest you shouldnt👍🏻. I hope this helps-I already abide by these rules, it’s why I’ve done it for many decades without an issue Rufs🔥😊

good for you R2B good to see somebody abides by the rules, but if like last year vast areas of National Parks throughout Europe banned the use of open fires, it kinda reduces ones options for cheap camping to a relatively small area, much prefer an enclosed gas BBQ especially as we eat a lot of fish, so gas BBQ is so quick and economical, and a lot less hassle as you dont have so much cleaning to do, and if you are on a small CL much more user friendly as you dont smoke you neighbours out. cool

Merely pointing out the fact that lead acid or AGM batteries shouldn't be allowed to discharge as low as you can go with a lithium.

Therefore it pays to keep an eye on the state of charge.

I don’t camp overthere👎🏻. Over here only & steering well clear of setting the biggest peat fire ever by burning the Moors. I have a 2’x2’ asbestos(user friendly) slab for the fire pit to sit on. I don’t use it in Summer-that is what pub Beer gardens are for-‘eat out to help out’. Thanks for the interaction-enjoy your Summer whatever course it takes👍🏻😊
