This year for various reasons not necessary to the tale, our Spring/early Summer trip needed to be in Britain rather than our normal venue of Europe. When touring abroad we never book sites in advance in May or June as we have had very few problems finding ACSI card sites with room. Having had difficulty getting on sites…
That time of year again when Herself and I take off for a week with the olds – Creaky, Grumbles and Coupons, with the Savage in tow. Not a caravan break, but usually in a lodge and usually in the West Country somewhere. Finding somewhere suitable (disabled access, bedrooms all on one floor and savage friendly) that does…
I grew up caravanning. I loved it. We travelled all over the UK and Europe. It was a wonderful freedom. My husband has never caravanned. Hated the idea. But with three children and needing some way of 'getting away from it all' ( and me going on, and on, and on about how great caravanning is, for years - about 8 years, in…
Being dairy farmers we don't get many chances to get away (or even have a whole day off!), but that's one reason we have a caravan - we can get away at almost a moment's notice. So last Thursday, as the rain poured down, and I looked at the calendar and saw a few blank spaces, we decided on a few days R & R. The caravan…
I am interested in what people think to this site, as i am currently a regular camper here, merely because i rely on them storing my van, it seems the site is deteriorating. If anyone could recomend or give advice on other sites close by that also provide storage be greatfully recieved :)
The weather near our home in France this year so far has been appalling. Despite this, we decided to venture across to the Ile d’Oleron for a few days holiday as we have never been there before. We have previously visited the Ile de Re and liked it, but found restaurants, cafes and camp site fees expensive. So, we thought…
Before we went there were a few sceptical questions regarding the National from my spouse, mostly along the lines of "why are we going?" But any doubts were unfounded as we both enjoyed the whole event. Since we are both keen gardeners having a few days amongst some beautiful gardens was a real bonus. On arrival we had a…
On the Wirral Country Park caravan site, situated on a cliff above the Dee estuary, a small crowd gathers outside the utilities block to see what the racket is about. A young child cries out and a three-legged golden retriever muffles her bark just as a bird flies off from a tree. I didn’t recognise the bird – just a…
This was our first visit to The Maragowan Caravan Club site in Scotland. It is located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, a beautiful location (like so many in Scotland) near Loch Tay surrounded by woodland, hills and mountains and we stopped here on our way south from Fort William. The site itself is on the…
I thought I could trust the Garmin 660 Caravan Club special edition satnav but today it took us down a blind alley near to Berwick Seaview. Apparently we were the 3rd people in a week that had been wrongly directed and we managed to turn around another unsuspecting victim before he fell into the trap. We ended up next to a…
