Just go on the bike. Whoever was on the phone is undoubtedly not whoever's likely to be on the gate.

a slight derail then

my mum and dad lost their very old cat at xmas, she wandered off to die in peace we think.
My dad won't say it but he kinda misses that bad old cat. He loves the blue cats on the Sheba and Febreze ads. SO I trawled the net and found a breeder locally of British Blue cats, and reserved one. All of us kids clubbing together to get him one as they are really expensive.
It won;t be ready until the end of May. So the lady is emailing me pics later in the week of the one we chose, so I can put them in a card for him to see

Even if they ask you to leave, just make sure you unpack first then park the bike off site ^.^
Worth going anyway. If they've got a website check for a no bikes rule, if there isn't one then go.
That'll be Croyde then. That was a nice place until Ruda bought most of it and paved over all the nice little country paths.

Not a bad camping site though.

Croyde's a lovely place.

Really disappointed you even thought to ask if a road legal (well they're not to know it's not I mean YC's been at it ) bike would be allowed.

I know it's worked out for the best that you know you're allowed now.
But why should we be treated any different

Maybe it's cos you're a laaaady Stupid planks, at least you've got round 'em anyway. If you rode your bike at 10mph they'd have no right to complain at you anyway seeing as that's what's required. And you're paying them to stay! Gah.

Hope you have a cracking time though hun! Safe ride down sarf, you know what them shandy drinkers are like...

I don't think that can be "because we don't like bikes", either.
Ditto and i'd quite happily wait for them to call the police then raise this point directly with them.

Can I ask if your bikes black? This may go against you too

I'd also ask if they would accept a pre booked caravan, to find the bookers is a car full of 5 chavvy loud mouth drunk louts, but in a car....

Does that mean they would get access to the park and you wouldn't??

well yes it will be the black one, not only is it more suitable for the journey, but, I also thought that I'd be considerate and take the one that was most quiet of the two

hmmmm the chavvy loud mouth point did cross my mind on the phone!

But its all sorted now, and so it appears my org friends who have offered meet ups on the way down to break the journey

Result ! db
Enjoy the rides & the break and stick to 10 on site.
Just watch out for gravel on the site roads - not the sort of entry you want.
