Ireland touring the South
Hello Following our recent trip to Ireland I have a few comments I thought may help any members thinking of going there. Firstly thank you to the club for all our ferry and site bookings and being so helpful. Be prepared for a journey you think won’t take long to take some time on Irish roads. We only came across 2 lay-bys…

South Central
Our most recent trip was to the South Coast starting at Southbourne, near Chichester. Then moving over to the Isle of Wight staying at East Cowes. Our final destination was Lytchett Minster near Poole. Not particularly by design but no CMC sites on this trip. We chose the C&CC Chichester site because of its good transport…

Our first stop on the island was at Le Chateau d’Oléron where we overnighted at Camping Airotel which proved to be at bit too far a walk into the Citadel, but Catherine made it. As well as the citadel there’s a fishing…

Oxford – City of Dreaming Spires
Our going away this year has been a bit spasmodic for one reason or another. However we did manage to find a gap for a few days away to visit Oxford. For our previous visit to Oxford we stayed at Blaydon Chains but that is a bit far out of the City. This left us with the C&CC site actually in Oxford and very handy access,…

FOURAS les bains
Fouras is a small seaside resort, onetime spa, and centre for the breeding of oysters. It guards the entrance to the Charente river and its famous landmark is Fort Vauban which sits at the end of the Grande Plage and the town promenade. The tide goes out a fair old distance, a bit like Southend, so the sandy beaches are at…
