Well we made it back safe on saturday after a full week in the van down in Devon, and from the moment we set off the whole experience was certainly an eye opener to other peoples stupidity and direspect!

On the way down and back from Devon me and my partner were absolutely gobsmacked at which can only be described as the idiotic driving of people towing caravans, do people not know the speed limit when towing?  They were overtaking us, hgv lorries, snaking like mad, how they never lost control is beyond us, one after the other.

Whilst at the site I was amazed at the fact kids and parents were playing ball games, where the ball hit someone elses caravan (owners not in van at time) and the parents didnt even correct their kids and say oh no dont hit it so hard etc, they just laughed.

And the elsan points, dirty people had emptied their tanks, but not bothered washing it down even though a tap and hose was there for this purpose.

Rant over!  Am I just being naive, we've only ever been on small sites, is this the norm on big sites.

We are also fed up with rowdy kids on sites and agree their parents did  seem to think it was funny to let balls and so on hit caravans , we  were on a big site last year and one morning a guy was having a soapy wash under the water tap we all use for our containers /barrels his soapy hand were all over the tap yuk , we are also sick and tired as what can only be descibed as big heads in chelsea tractors on the M Ways towing at speeds well over the limit and snaking all over the place is it any wonder some overturn ? .

Anyhow because of all this we are this week taking a seasonal pitch on a peacefull site in Lancashire , we won't miss the unruly kids nor the idiots who speed whilst towing.

Its so disrespectful, they dont or I hope they dont do things like this at home so why on sites.

We have two kids, so no adult sites for us!

The loud banging music really annoys me too, just turn it down!!

I'm glad we only go on club meets where there are clear signs about not taking your toilet to the drinking water tap, what speed limit is allowed onsite and where the children know exactly where they can play without annoying anyone. Its great how quiet it is at the proper time and in the morning too. But everyone still had fun.

We tend to go for smaller/quieter sites now our children have grown up and don't some with us.

Whitsun is the only Bank Holiday we do as I have to take school hols and won't miss the chance of a week away. Otherwise we avoid them as the world and his wife seem to take to the roads and sites.
