Re: Battery Offers

I haven't a lot to lose @Freddy55 even with a grade C battery considering a replacement AGM is priced similarly. My original battery was sealed lead acid. I got 7 years of use out of it and thought replacing it with an AGM I might get a bit longer. Its now 6 years old and showing its age! I doubt I will be touring in another 6 years so its unlikely I will be aware of the replacements true performance unless it develops a fault. Its supposed to be guaranteed for 5 years.

Re: Disappearing Dustbins

I just leave the rubbish bags outside at front of van, open to attack by vermin and weather, smelling, and looking awful, until we leave next Tuesday, as neither of us is able to walk the distance to the rubbish bins at reception.

Don't you go off site at all? You can dispose of them then rather than leave the bags lying around.

As per Euro's suggestion: Beware, access to Whitsands beach is only for the very fit.

Re: Share your hidden gems!

None of us should give away secrets, Ro, but if you are coming to Cornwall and want the antidote to crowded places like Newquay and St Ives then there are possibilities without driving for another hour.

Park on the Plymouth side of the water and take the little passenger ferry across to Cremyll - explore Mount Edcumbe country park and then go to the pub. Or walk around the coastal footpath to the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand and take the bus back. Or drive across the Torpoint vehicle ferry and find the NT Antony House on one of the few days a week when it’s open, but go down to the riverside there as well and find their woodland garden - hardly anyone does, but maybe the extra entrance fee puts them off.

It’s all relatively peaceful compared with the tourist resorts. And even the big spectacular beach at Whitsand Bay is really only busy at weekends when the Janners arrive in force.

Re: This Month’s Magazine Cover – Dreaming of New Zealand?

Hi Ben, We were staying with family in Sydney. On previous visits to Australia we have hired cars, flown and also hired a motorhome. On our next trip we will probably drive from Sydney via Melbourne to see the Twelve Apostles and then fly back.

Re: Hello Everyone

Hello and welcome. Glad you've enjoyed your first trip away. Never towed myself, but well done.

As you say wind is 'interesting' 😉. Good job you are experienced campers.

Enjoy your next trip and do let us know how you're getting on.

Re: Share your hidden gems!

If it is hiddem gems that are required then it has to be among the CL/CS network. One that springs to to mind was Lark Valley near Bury St Edmonds, sadly it is no more. There were lovely woodland walks nearby with Bury not too far away. Here we accidently discovered a fascinating replica Anglo Saxon village and museum close by in a country park.

The latest magazine covers one gem of an attraction, the Gorge du Verdon. I don't think we really did it justice on our tour and we would love to go back again for a stop over rather than just the trip along the Gorge road which was a little scary.

The Gorge du Tarn is much better known and well worth travelling along. Millau is the place to base yourself for such a trip. There also large caves nearby worth visiting but they have nothing on those to be found in Solvenia where there is a real gem complete with underground river.
