New LR Disco triumphs as Tow Car of the Year... All a bit predictable... but there are better tugs out there! After changing our caravan from an Alpine 2 to a Quasar 540, I realised that our 64 plate Skoda Superb Outdoor Plus 190 4x4 DSG(itself a pretty decent tug) was no longer up to the task - mainly because the towball…
Lake Garda (on our way home) This story follows on from our “Second trip to Cres” where you may recall, I enticed my OH (Mrs Miggins) into a second holiday in Cres with a promise of a few nights at Lake Garda on our way back to Blighty. So, after spending 8 nights on the idyllic island of Cres, it’s time for pastures new…
Perhaps not the title you expect to read but during our three day stay we had a lot of sunshine. However I should add that apart from the day of arrival, when there were unseasonable high temperatures of 14 degrees, it was fairly cold as to be expected. We are fortunate in being more or less free agents so we can decide at…
“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” - Randy Komisar. We found that we were becoming very averse to this kind of risk , so we gave up work and accidentally bought a caravan, Kismet and four…
After leaving West Dorset the next stop on our 2014 tour was in North Devon with a stay at Collacott Farm CL conveniently located between Barnstaple and Bideford. During our stay we covered a number of miles along the Tarka Trail starting off with a 4.5 mile walk from the CL to Fremington Quay, which wetted our appetite…
OUTDOOR LIFE IN DORSET – A SITE TO VISIT As a swimmer all my life, it is important for me when working and travelling to stay on a motorhome site close to water and outdoor activities. Last summer, I took a trip down to Dorset, to see the wonderful scenery and awe inspiring coastline along the southern part of England. I…
The next stop on our 2014 tour was at Washingpool Farm CL, which is just a short walk from Bridport in West Dorset. The site located right next door to the Washingpool Farm Shop so there is no need to go too far for provisions and footpaths run from the site providing easy access too some stunning countryside to walk, Most…
Where could we go in January with our son’s dog, friends and their dog, and our camper van’s? Cirencester, first time we have visited, and we were not disappointed. There was a lot of snow on the ground when we arrived, and it was very cold. That said we were there for a couple of days and planned to make the most of our…
Ever thought of living in your tourer? We gave it a go last Summer. Having sold our house in May, but not yet being in a position to move into our new house for a few months because of repairs and a proposed extension, we (grumpy, retired fifty-somethings) decided to live in “Vera” (our caravan) with our Golden Retriever…
The fourth pitch of our 2014 tour was at St Leonards Farm CL, Corfe Mullen in Dorset. This site is ideally placed for walking on the Purbeck Hills so during our stay we ventured out to explore some new walks. There are parts of Purbecks where access is limited because of MOD training facilities so walking around Tyneham…
