We have started setting out our pitch like this as it gives Troy more room and we have a larger covered area :D

 

Coming to a CC site near you (lol)

That should annoy some of the " Camp Commandants " on the club sites........lol

 

It kinda throws the " Centre to the peg and not 1inch either way " rule out of the window.

 

Will that come into the " extra large pitch " on the CC&C sites ?

 

Regards.

 

Graham.

Hi Dave,

I think you require another "Drive-away" in the same position as the windbreak.

 

You must need a covered space in which to store your new Trailer :D :D :D :D

 

I use the trailer as part of the setup as you can see from the pic, I've also had the van decals replaced after his face lift and did the trailer to match ;-)

I am assuming this is for long term winter camping in Spain

 

Correct Eddie, just practicing at Reedham Ferry Norfolk which incidentally a very nice site ;-)..................Although its not the complete set up :D............we also have a gazebo to add another extension (lol) (lol)

 

I got the idea from the Hamster on Top Gear B-)

PO's leadership course. Candidates were given Practical Leadership Tasks to perform. Most were along the lines of making a silk purse from a sows ear. :-) :-)

Been for the last 2 years for a spot of winter sun in January........It's now on our regular agenda except next year hope to be there for Jan/Feb B-).................not sure I'd wanna be out there now 30+ degrees 8-)........although we went to the bit around the Bay of Biscay in May and was amazed just how lush it was, a bit like coast of Cornwall with the lake district as a back drop ;-)..............The locals reckon it doesn't get too hot there in summer, and based on the fact that the sites were still just waking up when we went, I think when we go again it would be June time ;-)

 

There are 2 sites and a large aire in Calpe, we have stayed at both sites although we only spent one night at La Merced who are not part of the ACIS although they do discounts for long stays, Calpemar accept ACIS and as Tetley has said the pitches are tight if you have a large outfit.........but its bang in the middle of town, 5mins from the beach and the facilities are modern, we had a grand time there B-)
