Ian Gunpowder Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thought we could have a thread to let everyone know if the gate is open. We are practically outside the gate waiting. Anyone else here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddyDriver Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 We are in a layby about 1.5 miles north from the gate. Had a call from a friend who reckons they'd have told her opening at 8 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Gunpowder Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 They've told us a few times 12 but we've overhead them saying to a local that it's gonna be earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Woooop enjoy! We now can't come (to west cv) until much later as we want to camp with friends who have been told by their van rental place they can't pick it up until 4pm. We want to arrive together so it'll be a slow drive down from Yorkshire with some scenic stops en route! Do you mind updating us on how you find the searching?

EasyUserName Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sitting in the first field off Pylle Lane waiting. It seems it's open - about 30 vans in the line I can see. Presume it's the first security check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyUserName Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) There is four or five lanes in this field. It's searches. It is moving but expect waits. I'm in one line, about 5th with around 5 vans behind me. It is moving though. Edited June 20, 2017 by EasyUserName Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katiepougher Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Blimey we're still at least 3 hours away ! What's the best route to East CV from the North? Had a nightmare queuing experience last year but hoping the fact that it's dry and we've set off a bit earlier will make it a lot better this time.

bimblebee Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Satnav says I am 20 minutes away. when I bought my camper van ticket it did not give me the option of family field. Anyone had success getting in family fields without family field ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyUserName Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) They're pretty clear once you get past security. Different stickers, many security dividing you based on the stickers. Traffic doesn't even stop, there is no conversation. Once in I was visually checked twice again. I'd say very unlikely you'll get into "family" without a family sticker. Not that it is "family" in here. In 2018 they might as well say "close" and "far" camping. Edited June 20, 2017 by EasyUserName Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyUserName Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Not really. My children can walk! Better for the soul. But for the purpose of this, "family" is to the left of Pylle Lane, "general" to the right. It's possible to be closer to the gate in "general" than in family depending on which field you were in (& where on that field).
