    is it possible to either combine the 4 and 3 nights to make a 7 night break or to pay extra to make it up to a full week?

    Thanks. :)

    I have never tried to combine the 3 and 4 nights - thought i dont think this is possible. I have however - have done this a few times, waited for my conformation to come through, then contacted the park direct with my booking ref, and extended my stay. I have never had any problems doing this. We usually stay at Devon cliffs or looe bay. Have also stayed at Newquay - south Wales and have extended the stay at all of these.

    Yes, there is only one code available for download = Line. Each day the paper prints a new token with a different code on.
  • does it really matter if the codes are the same then if you send 10 thought u had to have different codes am confused but nothin changes about that lol

    I have started collecting the tokens for this year, and have a priority number thanks to a colleague! :D

    One quick question; is it possible to either combine the 4 and 3 nights to make a 7 night break or to pay extra to make it up to a full week?

    Thanks. :)

    Once you have your holiday confirmed the park will usually allow you to upgrade to 7 nights for a fee. My sister has done it a couple of times before.

    You have to have 10 different codes so you have to buy the paper at least 8/9 times.

  • I managed to book a 4-night and 3-night break ONLINE to run consecutively; i.e. a 7-night break, for October 2006.

    Unfortunately, this would appear to have been a "loophole" in the system which has now been closed; you can no longer do this online.

    All venues will allow you to stay on if they have the capacity, but the cost will almost always be more than the £38 (for 4) you paid via the Sun.

    However, when I booked my 4+3 online, I paid £38 x 2.

    I always feel the day of arrival and day of departure are to some extent "wasted" so the 7-night stay was the most enjoyable one we had out of 6 or so stays.

    Are you planning to appy online or by post? If online, then you just need the codes (eight of them, all different, which you should have by Saturday). If you are applying by post then you need different printed tokens.

    The advantage of booking online is that you get in first i.e. before any postal applications are received, and you don't have to provide different parks/ dates, just try to book what you want - if it's available it is confirmed there and then.
    Not even wrong

    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
