Is it time to extend the quiet period to 8 am?

I think lots of people do spend a lot of time sitting in or around their LV's on sites. For many it seems its the change of scenery that seems to matter. I do tend to agree that it can be more comfortable at home! Like you the purpose of going away in our motorhome is to explore where we stay assuming reasonable weather, but if is not so good we do tend to stick around the van or limit ourselves to shorter excursions near the site. We don't beat ourselves up if we can't achieve everything we wanted to, always a good excuse for a return visit!  Likewise we don't seek solitude as there is noise everywhere which is often difficult to ignore. Traffic noise can be annoying, surprised no one has mentioned Chester Fairoaks? What I liked about Seaview, other than the lovely views, was the expectation of an approaching train as you get that zing in the railways line before the train appears.

It's funny you should say that David.

It's our nearest site probably and we used it late one year for the first time and found the motorway noise excessive, so much that I vowed never to return. Well I'm not much good at keeping vows,😇, so we went back late last year for a few nights and lo and behold found it fine. I think there was a problem with a lack of lorries about that time. Not sure I'll try a tie breaker though.

Would agree with you there, we have used Durham a few times and haven't had a problem but Tredegar is on another level.

Chester Fair Oaks wasn't a problem either. Even Edinburgh with the planes going over us didn't bother me, the dogs barking on the estate behind the site was a different matter. 

For many it seems its the change of scenery that seems to matter.

But how can it be change of scenery when one is sat all day with same view, looking at row upon row of LVs?

In response to AD, when are the site managers supposed to cut the grass? There would be even more complaints if they started doing it at 16:00 and continued until midnight, I'm sure.

Absolutely not!

up and at ‘em, out for the day, home for feed and kick back with the beers and Aperol

I don’t even have a TV in my caravan, so tend to sit out in the peace and quiet under my fairy lights as everyone else seems to be sat indoors glued to the Gogglebox - and taking notes of any noises outside.

Once a fortnight is adequate. I never can understand the relentless war on nature as warders furiously resist any attempt by  the grass to look like anything but an immaculately manicured bowling green.

And all the mowers should be changed for battery powered ones. Very quiet, no emissions.

They might be slightly quieter, but not a lot. At least not the ones I have seen. It is the action of grass cutting and blowing the cuttings into the receiver that makes the noise. I suppose you could not collect the cuttings, which would be quieter, but if only cut every two weeks would look a right mess and get traipsed into vans.

"Furiously" seems to be your word of the day. You can overdo things 'Harry'. I thought you’d have known that by now. 🙄

That’s easy, you always leave your outside shoes on the step before entering the caravan.

s good mower will mulch the cuttings and leave no significant fallout. But we digress, leave the grass alone, scatter large quantities of native flower seeds, it looks very nice camping in a wild flower meadow.
