When I was chatting to Paul (Lazydocker) yesterday morning, he was saying that the site owner's were concerned about that and next year I belive it will be an adult only site with a minimum age of 16. Shame for those with families as it's such a beautiful location but I guess safety comes first.

very true

unless they did some sort of proper barrier, having any young kids there would put parents on the edge

we thought exactly the same, and wouldnt have been happy if we had taken the kids.  Would have managed, but a very close eye would have to be kept, water often fascinates kids

[TheBoy]

A barrier would have ruined the feel of the site I reckon.

I have a brother who had a fascination with water at a young age.  Dad never wrapped any of us in cotton wool, and that brother quickly learnt the error of his ways

A different but related story - as some people know, when I was little, we used to have an appartment on a Cypriot beach - open our back door, walk through the garden, through the gate, and you were on the sand. Another 30 odd yards, your feet were wet.  I was a toddler at the time, but soon learned what my depth was waterwise. Addionally, maybe I was excessively clever or something, but if my parents said no, then I didn't do it   :-?. I guess it was because there was no Naughty Step or other such crap back then. If I misbehaved, my arse came in contact with Dad's hand. Or worse if I had been very naughty.

As another aside, I remember Dad teaching one of my brothers to swim. We all went out in the boat (we had a speedboat as well), about 30ryds out, threw him in.  He learned to swim PDQ.  Wish dad had done the same to me, as I was 10 before I could swim without floats 



I do feel some of the modern parenting techniques that parents have to follow (either by law or by peer pressure), such as the reasoning with toddlers, or the Naughty Step are just creating a whole bucket load of problems for later.

The site is absolutely beautiful but, sadly, I feel we won't be able to use it next year

Unfortunately the site is going Adults only for many reasons... The riverbank safety being well down the list!

Unfortunately they can't put any form of permanent structure along the riverbank due to Environment Agency regulations. But it has been fantastic

TBH I'm looking for somewhere we can book in it's entirety for next year so we don't have such concerns about noise... Leave it with me, I have a couple of ideas

Oh... And I agree with TB in some respects... I learnt that no meant no and did as I was told or paid the price. I don't think it made me a bad person but I do feel that there are too many children about in this modern, PC age, who know they can get away with murder and push it as far as they can

Opps, were we too noisy then?  As soon as I got a couple of vans down from yours, I felt you couldn't hear anything?  :-/

Not at all... We got a little rowdy a couple of times but kept it quiet as a general rule... No complaints from the Managers other than the Kiddies at the start of the weekend, but that was soon sorted

Oh, and I did hear a murmur about someone constantly using the trees as a urinal but nothing was actually said

Fantastic logic TB! How many children do you have again???
Do you have any classic advice on how to explain to an autistic 5 year old about the dangers of water then?
Guess some are childless for a reason! Suspect i won't be the only one to resent that type of comment from someone who has no kids!
