How do you know if a ‘No overnight parking’ sign at a spot has an official relevant TRO? Apologies if there’s an obvious answer which I’m missing.

Help! My Wildcamping app is now asking for an activation code ... Where do I get one? My membership renewed automatically a week ago.

If you've a large vehicle, travel from Heysham on the Ben. John McPint travels from there with his American RV (and so do we with our tiddly 7.5m Kon Tiki).

C& CC site fees are per person, plus a pitch fee for the unit, per night. Non members pay an additional supplement.

Found out why the Parish Council is looking at preventing MHs from staying overnight. Someone left the contents of their waste water tank on the parking area when they left and a second person decided they needed electricity and ran a generator all night (this in a residential area of a quiet...

We're Brit Stop fans, stayed in some great places.

Yes. There used to be a floating restaurant there, with access & parking in front of it. The restaurant was removed & dismantled several years ago. For some reason, the Parish Council seem to have got itself all hot & bothered about motorhomes staying overnight in the village. This is a...

Just been reading the latest Parish Council minutes. Following one complaint about an HGV & motorhomes parking overnight, the PC are asking the 'C&RT' (guess that's the organisation who own the canal & basin) to erect notices banning overnight parking. The bit of land in question is the part...

Not do much a recipe but a suggestion for a selection: I carry a copy of 'Cooking in a bedsitter' by Katherine Whitehorn, in the Bus. All dead easy recipes which can be cooked on one or two rings. Assumes that you've limited time, kitchen utensils and preparation space. Had a copy since 1972 and...

The bridge IS wide enough (the bus goes over) but officially it isn't suitable for heavier/wider vehicles. Wouldn't like the Parish Council to start being difficult about MHs in the village ...

p.s. Don't park in the lay-by on the road into the Dock unless you've access to and have checked the tide tables. The road floods badly at certain high tides ...

If you didn't go into Glasson Dock, you missed a treat. You can get to each side of the Dock easily and you can park overnight both sides. Straight on at the mini roundabout brings you one side of the little swingbridge over the canal lock, either carry on past the Victoria pub & turn in to...

When are you travelling? Right now, there are a lot of gypsies parked up in lay-by & on verges in Lancashire on their way to Appleby Fair. Caton picnic area was full when we passed today, four wagons were at Glasson Dock the other day though they've left now. Littledale likely to be okay.

I've had my Kindle four years, love it. As it's the basic original model, reading at night's a bit of a pain as there's no back light but as it works just fine, I see no reason to change it.

I don't know if motorhomes are actually classed as freight but you have to phone the Steam Racket Company to get a price rather than booking online. Regency Travel, based in Douglas, reckoned on £650 EACH WAY for our MH (7.5 m) during the TT period but prices are bumped up sky high for...

C&CC members can download POI files for CS's (as well as Club sites). As we don't have Sat Nav, I've loaded them onto the POI Viewer app on phone & iPad. The C&CC app has a map showing nearby sites too. I always check the main book for prices though, as some are nearly as expensive as main sites...

Lots of unrestricted parking along the promenade, though it can be busy.

Download the iPhone version to your iPad, will work just fine. I've done this with several apps which don't have a specific iPad one.

We joined last year, use their stopovers as well as CS's, wildcamping & some C&CC club sites in low season (old folks' rate!). Never had a problem, only one was already full and definitely had my money's worth.
