Pitch selection: theory vs practice
[quote:e25143b9e9=”geraldandannie”]When we visited Sheepcote last weekend, we were given a printed sheet, and shown where the available pitches were (right at the back of the site
). They gave us an access card, and told to come back the next morning and let them know which actual pitch we were on. On the two occasions we’ve used the site recently, we’ve had no problems, and the wardens / assistant wardens were polite and efficient.

Gerald[/quote:e25143b9e9] Gerald, It seems strange it is so random from one week to the next at the same site, and so random between CC sites at any one time. At Sheepcote we were given a sheet with pitches marked. In reply to my “So these half-a-dozen coloured ones are the ones we can choose from?” she replied “No, they are the ones you CAN’T have”. I didn’t query this, but as I mentioned there were only 3 or 4 empty pitches on the whole site by Saturday 12:30pm. When I asked for a barrier card she said we had to tell them our pitch number before they could give us a card. As once I did get one, this had a pitch number on it, I assume you had to tell them pitch number first, too, though it’s not how I read your post. It’s the variation in regimentation that puzzles me. Sheepcote has a mega whiteboard with chinograph names on pitches. Yet on Hunters Moon in Dorset a week or so ago, also nearly full, when I asked did they want to know my pitch number, they said no, go where I liked. If I value the pitch, use a pitchmarker when I go out. When I mentioned that other CC sites seem to need such information, he said that if he needed to contact us, perhaps with an emergency message, well he had my registration number and name so it was hardly rocket science to find me. He had a fair point

You can live there legally for 28 days a year, but any more than that and the planners are likely to be after you. If you can hide for long enough (4 years I think), you may be able to apply for a certificate of lawful use, but you have to be pretty brave to risk it. [url=http://www.tlio.org.uk/chapter7/]Chapter 7[/url] are the experts. Buy a copy of their DIY Planning Handbook, and you’ll find out how hard it is to live outside the mainstream.

Coverage abroad will probably be the same with any of them since they all use roaming agreements with the local providers. Data connection (ie e-mail) via a laptop works OK, and is no great issue in the UK, but overseas is not really economically viable unless you are rich! Typically it is 10 per Mb. You would be better getting a sim card wherever you are. But my plan is to use WIFI overseas, it is (I gather) getting more and more common. So the choice of mobile suppliers then really depends on whose pricing options and coverage suits you best in the UK. They all show coverage maps so look at these and judge where wou are most likely to be!
