If you could afford one of them, what in the name of, would you want one for, sure you would have to get someone to drive it.and how would you get the car out of Dick's field in winter,

Unfortunately it wont get you in Tommy, Dick has banned all oversize Motorhomes.
Is that so he can get more normal ones in or has he had some lad bury him self to the axle in the grass ?

God help him. He’s raking it in for a field with shag all facilities, and he can’t afford a bit of top soil and grass seed to repair it, never mind an actual hard core drive. Greed imo

Could not agree more Daffy,there is also membrane that can be laid on the ground and the grass grows through it.
Yes that comes at a cost,so is greed taking over?
I have not visited Dicks field so I cannot comment on my own personal expericece but from the comments of the craicers that have been going.since.The.Dick opened his field I will not be rushing to visit.......no smoke without fire comes to mind

Well he must have something going for him, it’s always full.
He was one of the first to open up for camper vans on any scale, like that, and in fairness the camper van folk are a loyal bunch.
He has never invested in the place and does now appear to be getting more rigid and rules based, while not reinvesting anything back into the place. IMO Norman view has installed a much better infrastructure, which makes conditions a lot better for the end user, therefore places like that get my support, if I wish to use that type of facility.

Well I suppose it makes more business sense to ban a few large offending vehicles than spending thousands on repairing the field, if the field gets damaged there is no quick repair. In all fairness I think he has enough spent on it, any further expenditure would give him an excuse to to rise prices. I have to agree it isn’t the same friendly field it once was, all rules and regulations now, there was a time you would meet numerous friends every time you went there, that has changed, they are all over in Frank’s field now. Whether we like the place or not it is our own decision to go there or not, at least he is taking 100 plus Motorhomes off the side of the road, that must be a good thing. I have to agree with David, Norman view is far more relaxed place to Holiday, so is Frank’s field. Bannow bay is another lovely spot but been met at the gate with two pages of rules, regulations and a visit every morning offering scones and jam for sale puts me off a bit. If the scones were for sale at the gate, I’d go over if I wanted them. The lady there is lovely but I think she is trying too hard, I like my space.
