never had such a problem......everyone respects my pitch and keeps well back

Mine too.

At a coal merchant we used to buy our coal from, I used to go to his house to pay for our delivery.  The first time I went, he asked me in and we sat down for a chat.  His largish dog came and sat at the side of me, and I was fussing it while we talked.

When I said I had better be on my way, he rather urgently said, "don't get up yet".

I had to wait until he put the dog outside.  Apparently, he was not very friendly when someone got up to leave.

We use windbreaks too keep 3 dogs in without being tied.  We are two families and also means we are together in one enclosure.  Never had a problem with people using pitch as we have not been in a situaton that warrents it.   Usually camped with plenty of room.

On holiday this year we did same but all that did was attract people to walk closer to windbreaks causing the dogs to bark. 

Doesn't stop us talking to our neighbours though.

I used windbreaks when I was away recently so I didn't have to worry about my toddler daughter wandering off and also so I could put a little paddling pool out for her to play in and not worry about someone else falling in or dropping summat in it.

If the windbreak guy lines are well inside the pitch, it is hardly just to refer to those users as numpties.  If anyone cuts through a pitch and then falls over these guy lines, then they have suffered the consequences of their own ignorance.

if you read my first post i have said they were all over the place none sticking to their pitch.i dont give a toss where they pitch/walk..it was the fact they blocked the designated route pedestrian/vehicle.and on leaving the wife and i had to pull the caravan around and out by hand.

Gorgeous dogs Tartan, we've got 2 shepherds also, had 3 until 3 weeks ago but sadly lost her.

Must admit they are the best deterrent to keep people off the pitch!
