Is it just me or does this irratate the hell out of anyone else?

I have taught my kids not to walk over other peoples pitches.  Use the paths or the roads, but do not take short cuts over other peoples pitches.

So why do other peoples kids and the adults spend all day and evening shortcutting over my pitch?  I try and choose my pitch carefully to minimise this, but it seems impossible to stop.

I know it's not 'my' pitch and I'm not totally anti social, but it's just bad manners in my book.

What do others think? 

Don't mind if folk go by quietly however if they're making a racket it can sometimes set the dogs off.  I think good manners would probably dictate though that it's best to stick to official paths.

It Is a bit irritating especialy when they walk past and stare in through the window. Small children I dont mind but adults should know better.

It's rule one of camping as far as I'm concerned - keep off other people's pitches. It's an invasion of what little privacy there is on a campsite.

I dont walk over other peoples pitches, nor my family. And i dont expect them to walk over mine.

what if you did see someone walk on your pitch though Jusy?? would you confront them? your on holiday why be angry :(

I really don't understand what the problem is...i tell my H not to walk across pitches and we don't walk across pitches (unless we know them) but people often have walked across mine and i give a cheery hello..perhaps they want a nose in my beautiful Sydney..at Easter i had a few people walking past nosing in..i dont mind at all,,and ill even offer them a guided tour :)
