    Great review of the site. We didn’t really enjoy it when we stayed there last time. I think the dog walk wasn’t great and we didn’t think it was very secure, which was a problem because our dogs like to have a run off lead and it’s next to the busy road. Also for some reason we couldn’t get a signal so we paid for the site WiFi and couldn’t get that either! The good news was the restaurant was open 😂 we had the takeaway which was fine. We’ll have to give it another try some time. Thanks for sharing.

    Yep, we had exactly the same issue. Airbag light on dash, then intermittently the seatbelt light on centre panel & dash would come on a for a time. When the seatbelt light came on we then got the annoying “beep sound” every few seconds and the ridiculous warning message “ check handbook” which was more than useless. A relatively simple fix (ish) but in our case we had to get out some tools and send off the AB module for resetting.

Just a thought,but have a look and see if your door is square. Hope you continue to have a great time and keep up the great work.

    Crash Data in Liverpool will relieve you of about £80 for the privilege.. happened to mine just over 12 months ago then the airbag light came on for a second time.. decided not paying that again so contacted Peugeot customer service centre and complained, managed to get a replacement ECU fitted at main dealership FOC. My van is 8 years old and well out of warranty so I think that is an admittance that there is a manufacturer issue.

Just a general question - how do you guys feel in general about the current prices of most pitches with the caravan and motorhome club. We have been members for 9 years and struggling to get our heads around the massive increases in price. I know the cost of electric has risen, it does seem independent sites are a lot cheaper as a whole in comparison.

    I don't particularly want to get into that discussion, prefer to leave it to Facebook. We've paid similar price at private sites. What is easy to forget are that CMC site prices are inclusive. Private sites often charge extra for dogs, awnings, extra cars, showers, electricity, and even car parking.
