I am so sorry for starting the thread regarding early risers that make a noise. It seems to have started a spate of complaints, still I guess that is life wether on the road or in a house.
I am normally a very positive person and not too much upsets me, I like to think live and let live, but this morning the noise really got to me.
I am also a fairly early riser on most mornings and make sure that I do things very quietly to ensure that I do not upset fellow campers, and did the same when I lived in a house. Courses for horses I suppose.
Anyway had a wonderful day in spite of the morning noise. Went to my son's house for lunch and was presented with a Dream Pot from my three boys and their wives for Christmas. I was so thrilled and love them all to bits that they did something that would not have been on their radar as such. I spoken about maybe getting one later on.
So all good and once again my apologies to anybody I have upset and John you may put away the whingy pills now. All good again.

Didn't worry me Shekon but I do relate to your thread. I tend to wear earplugs and also drive long distance trucks so it takes a bit to wake me. What amuses me is the ones who are on the road at 6 am to go where. Most of the joy in what I do is on the road 8 - 8.30, we tend to stop about 9.30 - 10 for a bite but we are stopped for the night at around 3 pm. People must be really tired with the rush, rush, rush of their caravan trip. Sure, they have been everywhere but had little time to enjoy anything. Why????

Bunkerbob, I used to wonder about that too and while we were heading up the centre last year I asked one bloke what the story was;
he said they get up and go early so they can get a good spot at the next campsite.
could not believe it was that important
we tend to get going about 8.30/9.00 and enjoy our journey to the next camp. no rush, take a side trip, have a meal somewhere. I really don't care that XXXXX got to the next camp 2 hours before me. If there is no room I am sure I will find a spot somewhere for the night.

Hey don't Say sorry for Starting a thread about Early riser's..
I'm in BB's train of thought..
The ONLY time I get up early is to get somewhere Before the main traffic start's to Flow..
If your not in a rush to get somewhere, especially if it's only a short trip..[Less than 4-5hr's] I don't bother to get up early..
Take your time and enjoy the drive..

If there is more than about 3 vans/MH at the spot we would have liked to pull up at we just go and find another spot..
we plan on stopping around 4.00 but if we have to drive on a bit then so be it.. and if we like the spot we sometimes stay on for a few days..
I gave up rushing when I finished starting at 8.00am and finishing at 5.00pm Mon-Fri

No apologies needed Sharon and no need for the pills either, you have made a very valid point, I am an early riser but try to be considerate of others.
We will reserve the pills for a deserving whinge, still got plenty left having had few whinges over the festive season here at Greens. John

True Yeoeleven - you have parked behind us, and a couple of times you have gone out without me hearing a thing !

I am usually up and about before 6:00 as most of my working life I was at work before or at 5:00 but I never venture far from my bus and usually use the morning for a photography walk and then browse the forums etc.
I prefer to wait till 10:00 before leaving a site (let the workers get to work etc) and then plan my dy to be camped before 2:00.
The driving is to get me to a new spot whether it is 10Km or 300Km but never further, and 300 is only when I have a need to get somewhere for a special event.
I have often talked to people who arrive at the site after 10:00 at night and are packing to leave before 6:00 as they have 3 weeks to do the lap. I bet they need another 3 weeks to recover from their HOLIDAY.
I try to camp away from others so I don't annoy anyone and prefer to be on my own as I fly model helicopters in the morning if I can and I also sometimes play a brass instrument to amuse myself so not a thing for groups LOL.
People moving don't normally annoy me but the playing of loud music and noisy generators running after dark sometimes do as I am normally looking for bed within an hour of sunset.
I think a lot of the current discussions may be to get some activity going on the forum as it has been quiet for a while.
Regards
Brian
