I wish I could make up my mind easily when planning trips away, though the deliberations this time were not entirely my own doing. Herself is working the BH weekend so we are unable to get away until Monday. Plan A was the CC at Bromyard site just on the wrong side of Offa's Dyke. The site was the right side of £20 per…
We had thought for some time now that we would save touring in the UK for the time when we no longer wanted to drive all those miles on the Continent so this short tour for 2 weeks was an unplanned departure from the norm for us. We were keen to get away in ‘Bessie’ again after the winter break and since we had chosen not…
Friday 13 May I wake in bed at home and it's evident that the sun is making an appearance. I fire up my Samsung and it tells me that @DerekTheWeather is predicting a nice day and weekend. Herself and I head off to work with the intention of jumping in the hot tub with a case of Stella for company when we get home. After a…
Just been told by my dealer that 60% damp in a new caravan is not unusual and that prolonged warranty repairs is the "industry norm" as loads of pepole need warranty repairs for damp new caravans! Bought a brand new caravan in May 2015, servoced in Aprli 2016 (early to avoid the dreaded warranry rules) and now stuck with a…
This is the story of the six days spent on the National Rally. I think this year's National Rally has been different to last years in that the weather has been much better. Most days have had some warm weather and sunshine if not a little too warm at times. During our entire stay here, it only ever rained once and that was…
Our Freedom Sunseeker is not quite a year old and although small it has all the recommended security devices required by our insurers. New to caravanning we are very protective of our new baby and so I thought I would share an additional security tip I now follow, although forgive me if it is a well known practice. My home…
My wife and I booked into Crystal palace CC Site to visit CHELSEA flower show 2016. We have 2 beautiful dogs which is a main reason we took to caravan nine so we could all share the experience. Anyway we couldn't take the dogs for the show so needed someone to look after the dogs for the day. We found the ideal source in…
You all know the answer to this one, still do not know if I am started. I only wanted a green star !!!
Yep we're heading up to Scotland again. Weirdly, we've timed it so that we are going at exactly the same time as last year - not intentional! We finished our coast to coast walk along Hadrian's wall in Bowness on Solway and could see Scotland across the water. With aching limbs we jumped into the motorhome and headed over…
This is a story about our trip to the the National Rally. We had planned to leave our site in Findon, Worthing at 16:00 but it took longer to get packed and ready to go than anticipated. So we finally got hitched up and ready at 18:30. Before leaving, we checked the electrics as usual only to find that the lights and…
