West Hythe - Saturday 1st September 2012

An interminable journey to Hythe with lots of traffic and hold-ups. We arrived about 4.30. They’d had a power cut so there was no electricity. They didn’t offer a discount! This is another Caravan Club site and at least they accepted the voucher.

This site is for club members only. They don’t accept tents and they don’t allow you to hang up your towels to dry on a washing line in case some brattish child trespasses on your pitch and gets garrotted. The man patrolling on his wee tractor spotted my crime and asked me politely to take down the line. Pshaw. It’s a big site and regimented. You have to line up your unit a certain way, to the left of the pitch number with the door to the right and bla de bla de bla. I couldn’t be bothered with too much of that lark. You’d think you were in Germany! It’s only one night so it doesn’t matter but I wouldn’t want to say longer. Having expressed all that dissatisfaction, I have to say the staff in Reception were very pleasant.
