A TALE OF TWO SITES
One of the things I love about the caravan and motor home club is the variety of sites. All offering their own uniqueness, as well as the high standards and friendly staff we all take for granted. In August his year we ventured to Cornwall and then Devon, we were originally planning on visiting sites in Spain and France…

What are the odds?
Challenged by the restrictions of Covid 19 we decided that in our ‘Betsy Bus’ we would be relatively safe. O.K. North Wales is not Norway, where we should have been heading, but equally beautiful. Our aim was to walk some more of the Welsh Coast path we have not previously done so headed to Anglesey. Half way through our…

2016 fiat Ducato Benimar Mileo sat nav issues
We bought our Benimar last November (2019) but we do not usually camp out during the winter months and alas Covid arrived!. This resulted in our new toy remaining idle until June.

Off to the Seaside
Only our second trip away this year, the last one being in mid-August.

It was only a four night trip but for that length of time we can be…

Autumn Outing
We had planned to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with a family get together at Lake Annecy; however, … After a low-key celebration chez nous we decided to have a 3 week tour of East Anglia. With everyone else trying to have staycations, we found that most sites we looked at were fully booked or had a few scattered…

Typical
We became motorhome owners in July. Typical retired folk, we fancied the idea of the open road, like Mr Toad, with our own toilet and tea-room, escaping lockdown, not having to share breathing space with others. We bought our 10-year old Elddis with 25,000 miles on the clock, for £30,000 from a reputable dealership which…

New to the Caravan life
My wife and I went out shopping for tee shirts legging etc and called into a well known outdoor shop. We asked about trailer tents which they did not do. but told us where to go. To be honest the caravan outlet we were sent to was very off putting sales staff not very welcoming to us. On our way Home we stopped off at a…
