For me at the moment not paying a deposit is great as I have been made redundant, but if I cannot make the dates I will cancel but know what you mean, although I understand they do monitor this now.

So Suzzie, your the one who clogged the site up He He 17

Sooo Sorry.......17

To be honest I felt like screaming at the computer you'd get so far and it would crash...... anyway booked Rowntree Park for August which was the most important one and West Ayton these are our main hols next year for our two week break.  I also booked Edinburgh for end of May.  Like I said other sites will have to wait as aren't that important.  I do hope that people don't go booking loads of sites and don't turn up as that really isn't fair.

I have to agree it really isn't fair..... We've been on sites that were supposed to be full and end up with several pitches free for days in peak season and it isn't on...... so please think before your book.

Managed to book Easter and May Day.

My computer kept crashing but I found if you press the F5 button it refreshed the page to where you crashed.

This is my first year so this might be obvious to the rest of you, but if you've had it crash trying to go on from booking summary, it may still have gone through. I just spent the best part of an hour trying to get beyond that page, only for it to tell me I couldn't book because I already had a booking for that date. It is showing in "my bookings" but I didn't get the confirmation page nor a confirmation email.

It seems such an illogical system though, no wonder it's overloaded on one day like this.

When I'd gone through all the pages to book I received a confirmation email with all my booking details on........so it seems a little puzzling to me.

Reading this makes me sooooo pleased we use CLs, CSs and C&CC Weekend Meets and Holiday Sites - no problems getting a pitch at any time year, and we very rarely book anything.

Yeah I did for the other booking I did too, which is why I thought it hadn't worked.

As a generalisation this is extreme and not typical in general the vast majority of bookings made are taken up by the members. it is only the tiny minority of toe rags who do what you are suggesting.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
