Hi All

We have never been to a national rally so wanted to know feedback from any of you that have been before, Is it usually a good atmosphere and is the age group varied, more for little kids or teenagers to do?

The entertainment tickets are £16 adult & £11 youth (5-17yrs) per evening seems quite pricey for a family. Is it usually good worth the money? do you have to pay for them upfront or can you pay when you are there?

Sorry for lots of question's we fancy going just want to find out abit more about it....

The question I would ask is how many showers would be required?

Correct me if I am wrong but this event is attended by at least 2000 caravans. That must equate to several thousand people. The number of showers required would be huge. You have only got to be on a site with a hundred vans in high season to see queues forming in the shower block.

The whole operation is an expensive one as it stands with extensive groundworks carried out for pipework/ cabling etc and then the reinstatement afterwards.

We like to use full facility sites even though we have our own facilities in our van.

For that reason we would not attend a national rally. I would not expext the CC to provide showers etc for the reasons given above.

We watched the South Wales rally on Fridays episode of Wales on Wheels and everyone had a great time with loads of activities and sporting events every one mucked in and all seemed very friendly.

I didn't see any toilets showers or hook ups so I wonder if they would have facilities to empty your toilet.
