Dogs can't be embarrassed.

She will absolutely love it, and won't it make you feel good to help her out so much in her last days. Very Happy

No they can't but Pat would feel embarrassed having a dog in a cart. I don't know why, it wouldn't bother me. I would definitely do it if I thought it would benefit Elsa but I feel quite sure, as is Pat, that Elsa would object strongly although she may get used to it eventually. She doesn't take change very well at all. She's a bit nervy which is quite common in working bred labs, they are nowhere near as laid back as the show bred dogs. She is also very vocal if things are not going her way and I have visions of her protesting to any passers by who will listen. Now that would be embarrassing:lol: I won't rule out a cart but maybe taking a car away with us would make life easier for everybody at the moment. We need to get over our towing nerves or pick our sites very carefully. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
Lesley

As to beach sites

is one of our favorites and some of the holiday sites with the CCC are very near to beaches the Llandudno one is right opposite the beach and the Stokes Bay one is a 5min walk Oh and our Southport Rally is opposite the beach as well

Jacquie

Is the Stokes Bay site that you mention, the Kingfisher site. I can't find a ccc site in Stokes Bay and my big sites book is in the MH at the mo.
I would love to join you all at a meet or rally but we do need to have EHU and we are not able to book more than a week or 2 in advance due to Pat's crappy immune system which often results in him being admitted to hospital:roll: which then results in him getting more infections than he went in with Shocked He had a bone marrow stem cell transplant 2 years ago and his immune system is still not up to the job.
Lesley
PS I can't find the Llanduno site either. The only CCC sites I can find are miles from the coast.

I'm not sure how long your M/H is but the Magic Cove site at Mawgan Porth in Cornwall meets your criteria. It's 400 level yds from a dog friendly beach, there's a pub opposite the beach, and a small supermarket. Facilities are good, the only downside is that it only has 25 medium sized pitches and it could get quite tight when fully booked. There is a another campsite next door called Marver, but that was closed so I can't comment on it.

I took Ben my 15 year old Corgi cross there recently and he had no problem with the walking and he loved standing in the shallows with the waves lapping over his paws.

Hi Lesley

The Stokes Bay is a CCC holiday rally site also the LLandudno one so no electric so prob no good to you.

Kingfisher site is at Stokes Bay and about a 8 min walk from the beach there is a club house there as well and electric pitches
. To walk to the local shops from there
takes me about 20mins and I don't walk fast nowdays Laughing at local shops there is a supermarket, fish and chip shop, chinese takaway who do deliver, newsagents etc. There is also a pub on the roundabout on the way to the shops that serves food we often call in there as its about half way to the shops from the site Laughing


Re towing with the A frame no you cannot reverse with it so have to un hook it and turn van round then re attatch so far we have been lucky and not got stuck anywhere. You do have to plan in advance though not so easy to just pop into the supermarket on the way to somewhere.

Thanks Jaquie,
Kingfisher looks good for us. The walk to the shops is less of a problem as we don't have to take Elsa. A 20min walk for me would be at least 40-60mins for her. We never leave her in the MH alone though as she protests rather loudly Rolling Eyes

Yes your m/h should fit. The pitch took mine (17ft) with more then enough at either end to cope with a larger m/h.

best regards
