That does sound painful Leo.

[quote user="dreamer"] Also, has anyone had one of those seemingly very expensive all-year-round covers fitted?  Are they worth the money and any ideas on cost and a local company to supply/fit one?  Many thanks.[/quote]

Not sure what you have in mind here, but if you mean an abri, bear in mind that you should achieve a discount of some 30% if you deal direct with a manufacturer such as Abrisud, rather than a local pool store.

Cost depends on size, but maybe 7000€ for a 9 * 4 metre pool.

A roller cover would maybe cost you around 3000€ but is unlikely to help heat the water.

I don't know whether you can read French, but if you can there is a forum where all these things are discussed:

[Souillac campsite recommendations]

Hi Mark,

Nearly all the campsites around there close at the end of September, including Municipal Les Ondines on the left as you enter Souillac from the south, by the Dordogne.

I have stayed there when it was closed but maybe it usually has a barrier.

There are a coupleof small sites about 5 km out to the west which say end of October.   I can post the phone numbers etc if they would be of interest.
