It’s not often we spend as long as a week anywhere but strangely this is the second time this year. Obviously, a sign of getting old. The Club site, Northbrook Farm, is a no facility site which we don’t mind and has the bonus that it is a lot cheaper. After the VAT reduction it cost £14.50 a night which helped to reduce…
Whilst staying at Strathclyde Country Park my sciatica took a turn for the worse and I went for a walk around the site to ease the pain. I noticed a warden (I think her name was Jane) on hands and knees, seemingly counting stones on an empty pitch. "Stock taking?" I asked. "Oh yes" she replied, we always check every pitch…
I thought I would share my recent towing adventure with my new Volvo XC40 T5 PHEV. ( towing capacity 1640 kgs current Caravan 1450 kgs ) Before purchasing this car and tried my best to do a little research on a number of towing forum’s to no avail. As a time served transport Engineer I understand the working of this next…
We bought a brand new xplore 402 had nothing but issues with it from leaking taps that couldn't be seen to damp 80% in the toilet area damp around the boiler due to the taps leaking in the kitchen under the work surface ....the final issue after 3 yrs was cracking panels front and rear that didn't come under warranty they…
We were lucky enough to find this little gem of a site at Cappas Lywd on the Llyn Peninsula near Caenarfon that has just recently opened. What a location... a small elevated paddock right on the coast with spectacular sea views in front and mountains behind. The site has mainly level grass pitches with EHU and there is a…
I'd better qualify that first. I'm female but no longer really a girl. More like a middle-aged woman. Nine years after a spinal cord injury, I'm still working out what I can do independently and finding new ways of doing things that were once dead easy. But in general, I try to do as much as I can and push my boundaries a…
When we were leaving our seasonal pitch to go to the New Forest in May we hit a rut in the road which knocked the motor mover onto the wheel, so I had to jack the van up remove the wheel so I could access the bracket to the motor mover to slide it back in place, l put back on forked it back up we then traveled over 100…
We recently had to sell our beloved campervan because, having retired, we needed something more economical. We looked in the Club magazine and found a Company closer to us than the rest so we phoned them. We gave a full and frank description of our van and the guy we spoke to (I believe his name was Matthew) said he really…
Well, due to the covid 19 we had to cancel our defected holiday to croatia. We decided to buy a caravan, but realised i hadn't towed before. Looking forward to the day we went away but apprehensive about towing, it wasn't too bad. First trip was to bournemouth, a 225 mile trip, stopping once in the services just to check…
For the first time in over two years, we decided to put together a small tour rather than what we have been doing recently, only visiting a site at a time. We set off from MK on a Friday which was probably a mistake as traffic was heavy everywhere. Our first stop was in the New Forest. Rightly or wrongly, we decided to…
