I'm looking forward to ours arriving. It looks like 2024 has been live on the website for a few days as I've looked up our sites for next year to get prices. June for Euro 17 on the Isle de Oleron and The Loire looks very good, especially when you compare with a May booking for £40 at C&MC Tewksbury site.
Can you remember if it's just selected campsites that can be booked over the web.

I've just got mine. They have introduced a new system where the card is loose, not in the book, and has a unique code that has to be registered on line.
It looks like the App is not accessible until January when you have received e-mail notification, as in previous years if I remember correctly.
In answer to my own question about booking campsites over the web, only a few have this option available. In the past I've typically e-mailed sites directly with a scan of my card to get the reduced price when booking.

Steve, I thought the same when away for 6 weeks in NL over June 2022. Initially I did not book any sites but I think we got to about February and when checking availability I was amazed to see so few pitches available. As we wanted to stay for typically 10 days on each site I booked and it was a good job I did. If you only wanted a few days on site this would not have been a problem, unless it falls on a public holiday.
For 2024 I'm going to book our 2 week pitch on the Isle de Oleron and have already booked our Loire pitch for the following 2 weeks. The later one I've done as it is a riverside pitch. When we left that campsite in Sept this year only 3 or 4 of these desirable pitches were still available for our June 2024 visit.

Roger will probably say "wing it", because he is young and free in spirit and enjoys living on the edge.

Fortunately our days of the long one day hauls are now hopefully over as retirement has set in and we split our journey.
I remember in 2003 we took our Eriba abroad for the first time, Westcliff on sea in Essex to Bourg en Bresse, about 560 miles. Unfortunately this did not turn out to be an isolated incident with Essex to Millau and the Dordogne, along with Merseyside to The Loire all seeing 650 mile drives in one day. Only once did I think I'd bitten off more than I should have as our journey finished at night time instead of the usual mid-day.
