We travel frequently between the UK and France and often vary our ferry crossing – depending on dates and, of course, the prices. In recent years we have tried to spend time on our journeys rather than rush. In early March of this year we decided to spend a few days around the port of Saint Malo and to explore the seaside…
This short story is of my trip as a lone motorhomer from SW France to Roscoff in early July last year. Rather than just rush for the ferry I decided to take my time and visit a couple of places I had always wanted to see on the way. From our base in South West France I travelled up to Poitou-Charente to spend a few days…
Everywhere gets booked up during a Bank Holiday weekend and Caravan Club sites are no different. Just as we left Coniston the pitches were filling up as quickly as they were being vacated. Time for us to escape the crowds. We chose to spend the weekend at a certificated location on our way south. The CL that we chose was…
I want to thank and compliment the wardens at Great Yarmouth who were wonderful to me and my partner. My partner had an accident and went into the local hospital for 6 days, because of complications I had to stay 24/7 with him. Being in a strange town and not having family near this was very difficult. Judy and Eddie…
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…
