Bummer. Next time use the cable as a measure. Think I'll do the same when we go next week. It's free pitching with EHU where we're headed.
Also, make sure the EHU point is working before you pitch. Flick it on just to check. We've been caught out by that one before. They managed to fix it next day...but yeah it's always worth checking.

We were at Trewan Hall 2 weeks ago, the wardens were driving about monitoring where people pitched to enforce the 6m rule. One day a huge van pitched up with awning, they were only a few metres away from a tent on one side with acres of space on the other. The warden came round and made them take everything down and move. They did help them do it which I thought was kind.
Maybe we were lucky, but we had masses of space around us all week. You can see a panorama of the camping field and spacing on page 148 of the Karsten Klub thread. Doesn't sound like the weather has got any better since we were there...3 days of solid rain to start us off!
We're you in calves around the centre? and left on 18th? Nice tent! It was glorious here until the weather has got quite bad this week. I agree the warden here is excellent. I think it is down to evolving way everyone pitches and strikes and some end up been square pegs in round holes.
The campsite is certainly full to capacity.

Yes, that sounds like us Youlbury :) Thanks for the compliment on the tent. We were on calves in the middle, but with no one in front, facing more or less down to where the new loo block is. We were there from the 11th and left late in the afternoon on the 18th. It certainly started to fill up on 18th with a lot more older kids arriving.
Trying to picture where abouts you are pitched from how you described it, are you over on the section that runs down towards the swimming pool near the long path through the woods to the loo? There was a big marquee in the field opposite beyond the cows?

Oh yes, I remember, I was admiring your trailer :) It's a small world, I'd been hunting ebay for an Anssems with bars on and was dithering about bidding on one, trying to decide whether to get side or end opening or a GT500 or larger. I remember you posting when you bought yours, and it was the same one! How funny to now see it pitched behind us :) Lovely bit of kit.
It wasn't the fastest strike was it! Like a dipstick I put a carabina through my thumb taking off the guys and the proceedings were slow and steady as it did not want to stop bleeding and I didn't want blood all over those beige awnings :) Ok, I was also being OTT with the folding and cleaning!!
Hope the weather improves again before you leave Youlbury. That was our first visit to Trewan in 25 years, was about 10 last time with my parents. Life felt short seeing my kids in the pool and remembering my sister and I playing there at the same age. Old and new happy memories :)

Can't be doing with pitch where you like sites anymore, Some people are inconsiderate and some people have no choice other than to squeeze in with others.
I like to know whose space is whose so we can set up how we like as much as anything else.

We were there too 22 July - 1st August, and for me that was the only let down too. When we arrived we had 3 pitches available for us to choose from and ended up in the corner at the top near the toilets - which was ok, but it lost the sun pretty early on in the afternoon :-(
