Please note that as far as I know there is no organiser for Preston yet. Barney has volunteered to do Knowsley Traditionally organisers pick the formats but for this year Chris set them all out so that everybody knows what to expect. From Chris's post...

I've just booked myself a pitch at a campsite near Maghull.
(https://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/merseyside/maghull/hiddencornercamping/) The proprietor informs me that Liverpool FC will be having an important match on the Saturday night, so expect accommodation in the area to get booked up by sportsball fans. |

Why have you booked so far North Kim? Looks miles away from Preston even. Good if we ever do the Darlington time trial again though.
All the best. Roy

Erm, because it's between Preston and Knowsley, and fairly close to Knowsley (important given the early start). It's also one of the few sites in the area that appears to have showers.
I'm not sure where you're getting Darlington from? Edited by kim - 08 May 2019 at 10:09pm |

Sorry Kim. Don't know what happened with the first search. Went to the same web site but location was showing as being way north of where the map shows it is showing it now. Now it makes sense. Looks like my camper van will be in the workshop though. Otherwise ideal for me.
All the best. Roy

Is that site Camping and Caravaning club members only? It's very small, and only 1 shower and 1 toilet!

Ah, hadn't spotted it was toilet singular, but that's not uncommon on Certified Sites, as they're so small and the caravanists tend to use their own facilities anyway.
Yes, it'll be members-only, and yes membership of the Club is poor value unless you're regularly camping with a family unit, or active within a Section. (It's a point of some contention that the ALC struggles to recruit cyclists/backpackers because the discounts don't justify the Club membership fee.) Edited by kim - 13 May 2019 at 8:09pm |
