Hi,
I see your tent is a Vango Kura 800DLX,if it is then its too big even without the guy ropes for most standard pitches.

Its 7.1m x 7.2m.
Most standard pitches have a maximum width of 5m.

The C&C Club maximum unit size is 9m x 5m.

Saying that if you phone the site direct they might be able to fit you in,or in some cases tell you that you will have to book two pitches.
