Having been caravanning for over 25y and crossing the channel most years I always ask myself the same question do I really need Red Pennant, in all those years have never needed to use the full extent of the cover as being a mechanic have managed to repair most things that have gone wrong with the car, It had crossed my…
The beginning is here in the world of towing a caravan, sounds simple to alot of experienced caravan owners, but being a HGV driver with alot of knowledge of heavy long loads, suddenly thrown into the caravan world. 13pin, 7 pin or twin.....and what do you mean alko hitch, which one fixed, swan detachable.....reverse…
This and more stories on blog https://inpursuitofadreamblog.wordpress.com We recently shared a map of our caravan trips from the last two years. A number of people immediately noticed we had not been to Wales, was there a reason for this? Apart from the obvious ‘damp isn’t good for a caravan’ (only joking, surely it can’t…
Sorry for the delay in writing this story but I was in two minds whether to keep posting the stories I write on the Club web site especially now that my new small camera has difficulty in taking photos of a small enough size to easily upload to the website, and the same goes for my iPhone to, which makes it all so much…
This and more stories on blog https://inpursuitofadreamblog.wordpress.com Excited to be going out in our Pursuit this week. We are heading a little further than we normally would for 2 nights, we are off to Woodstock. There is a reason, of course. The Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC. An hour away from the NEC, we…
Heading out of Dunedin we opted to take the 25 minute drive beside the Otago Harbour to the Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Head. Mindful of the long drive ahead we reluctantly decided not to wait for the first guided tour at 11am. We were however treated to a brief fly-by by a majestic albatross, dwarfing the gulls that…
In Dunedin we were joined by a fellow Club member on a 40k cycle on Otago Central Rail Trail. We were collected from the campsite and driven out of Dunedin on Highway 87, a stunning, twisting high moorland route littered with rocks. In the low cloud it was easy to see why the area was yet another film location for Lord of…
We left Queenstown on Highway 6 which took us past The Remarkables mountain range and hugged Lake Wakatipu before passing through flat fields of sheep and cattle. At Te Anau we got settled into our pitch overlooking the lake and then strolled around the park admiring the floral show and thoroughly enjoying the novelty of…
The route to Queenstown via the pass at Crown Terrace gave us spectacular views of the Kawarua Gorge and despite the switchbacks at the end of the route, it did not feel too demanding as lorries and coaches are forced to divert on National Highway 6. Given the short drive from Wanaka, we opted to take the valley road to…
Our first stop on leaving Franz Josef was Lake Matheson which is famed for providing the classic NZ shot of Mount Cook reflected in its water. We were not so lucky as cloud hung low over the mountains and a gentle breeze disturbed the mirror lake. West Coast State Highway 6 alternated between hugging the dramatic coast and…
