Sadly every route had a gate or other barrier across it. <br /><br />It sounds like the caravan club is a complete waste if you are going to them after a booking somewhere else, which is what I would always be doing. I can't really cut a class short because the caravan club only like people who arrive in the middle of the day.<br /><br />As for secure, well as a lone female in the middle of nowhere trying to get into their site and failing, no I didn't feel at all secure. Had they said I wouldn't be able to get in I would have gone straight to the motorway, a much safer and more friendly alternative. It had taken hours just to make the booking and the sites are surprisingly expensive.<br /><br />Also with all those barriers how easy is it to get off the site in an emergency?Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503132721132843219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29951011.post-16082936587427104092010-09-05T14:08:55.837+01:002010-09-05T14:08:55.837+01:00As a fellow Caravan Club member and Taurean I was ...As a fellow Caravan Club member and Taurean I was sorry to learn of the hassle you had finding Longleat. I know the site well. Because I am driving my motorhome on my own, bitter experience has taught me to write down the last part of the route from the Club handbook so I do not end up in a muddle slavishly following the satnav into small roads!! <br /><br />I am a huge fan of Caravan Club sites but it is worth recognising they are for recreational use and you will always struggle if you attempt to use them on a business trip. What is wonderful about them is the quality of the services on offer - and the sense of security.<br /><br />All the very best.<br /><br />Christopherchrismacgowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354701023238027966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29951011.post-50445406370974402092010-09-04T19:52:22.618+01:002010-09-04T19:52:22.618+01:00Oh I ment to also say, I can't see me using ca...Oh I ment to also say, I can't see me using caravan club sites. Our van is also our transport and you aren't allowed to move it most of the time. They are so restrictive and expensive I just can't see the point. It's cheaper and easier to stay at a motorway services and you have facilities there at all hours.Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503132721132843219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29951011.post-50433459163818823782010-09-04T19:50:42.076+01:002010-09-04T19:50:42.076+01:00Yes, I think the caravans couldn't find a way ...Yes, I think the caravans couldn't find a way in. There is no way someone would have been moving a big van about at that time for fun and the site expects people to leave between 10-12 in the morning, so it can't be a normal thing to do.<br /><br />Ah you have have you.
