I don't do it and try not to let my kids but i'm sorry to say that i have had to remind my dh not to do it .  He really didn't get it but saw what i meant when kids came accross our pitch and commented on how rude it was.  I then pointed out that he is an adult and did it and at least these were kids .  Glad to say he now walks along path's and roads and not accross other people's pitches

It really really winds me up when someone crosses our pitch,we don't do it so don't expect anyone else to either.We have a dog now and he likes to sit outside and watch the world go by so we don't seem to get many any more.

Had someone walk down the side of our van and hit his head on our open window,didn't laugh honest.

Don't like windbreaks but we have quite a few and do use them

Hi LSMITH29

I totally agree another annoying and bad practice is playing ball games around your pitch

My OH and I are early risers, as is the dog. It's not unusual for us to be up and doing at 4.30/5am in the summer.

We have walked very occasionally across pitches at that time in the am, making sure I'm very quiet and no-one is awake. I don't think I've ever woken anyone up (cue barrage of "Yes you blinkin well have") and I've never taken the dog with me (he would have the whole camping awake! I'd never do it in the daytime (cue barrage of "Why do it at all then?). I think I can count the times I've done it on the fingers of one hand.

 I think its the height of bad manners but they dont do it twice with our dog !!!!!! , he waits in ambush and we give him a generous reward

I've seen someone mark out their pitch like a building site with dayglo orange tell tales and metal spikes before now.  Hopefully he's a member of UKCS and recognises himself here.  Although he probably isn't....

And I've seen someone else park their caravan and awning - complete with 2 bedroom annexes - sideways along the back of the pitch boundary, and the pair of 4x4s they came in parked on the side boundaries (wrong side of course!) .  That certainly stopped people from taking a short cut through their pitch. 

But by far the best one I saw was the roll of barbed wire erected by one very seriously irate caravan owner who'd had a whole panful of what I assumed was chip fat sloshed along the front/side corner of his awning by someone who tripped up on the guy line whilst taking a short cut through to the washing up area.  Unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to keep it there, and I half expected a 12 bore shotgun to appear next......

I do think it's bad manners and my boys know to go round other units on the paths rather than cut across someone else's pitch.

In theory you have paid for that bit of land for the duration of your stay, so anyone else on it is trespassing - maybe I should sue next time someone does it??!!
