Drove through the town in mid summer on my way to the Auto sleeprs service centre. Looked to be a nice, interesting place. Tried to book a few days on the CC site between Xmas and New Year but it is apparently fully booked. May try again in the spring.

Hi all

Re Why Moreton in Marsh.....Moreton was a Saxon village and it was then a marshy place where birds could be "taken" and it was known as Morton Henmarsh ....well all you need to do to see how it became Morton in Marsh is to say Morton Henmarsh a few times Rolling Eyes

........and the photo of the floods was taken in April 1998, our home and business, down in the Vale of Evesham was flooded too. We were under 3-5ft water for 3 days....it cost a lot of time, money and a lot of sleepless nights ( for about a year) to put it all back to normal. That was just about the time that we decided that there was more to life than work......motorhoming for instance Laughing .....so we sold up our riverside home/business, moved to higher ground and bought "the van"....we have never looked back Laughing Laughing

Mike

According to friends it's apparently a very popular site.
At this time of the year it's quite busy most weekends but much less so during the week.
As we are both retired it seems sensible to leave the weekends to those less fortunate Sad although we have included the market day, one of the main reasons for going.

Incidentally, for busy check out the Club site at Looe.
It seems as if it is booked solid all winter.

We went a couple of weeks ago and half the site is closed for refurbishment (and I think it is the big half!). They had more vans booked in than they had pitches for and they overcharged a number of us. All in all I don't think they were having a good weekend..... But the refurbishment probably makes it harder than usual to get booked in.

Sorry peedee, for not replying sooner. Will look forward to it.
When are you there?
We'll be 3 for that break as our son wants to go.
