After getting stuck in the mud for weeks I finally managed to get the van out and got away to my shakedown trip. Just me this time so I could learn everything about the new van, a 2016 Swift Expression 626, before we go away as a family on the 4th April so here goes. Because I wanted to be sure of a good site and only have…
Do visit Minnows if you would like to experience one of the last horse drawn canal barge trips in England, an excellent day out ! The site is situated with easy access from the M5 and is well set out with direct access to the tow path. The owners were helpful and pleasant. I have one complaint though, there is…
This was our second experience at staying at a Caravan Club site and we were extremely happy with the area and friendly staff members. The location was very pretty and the children's play area proved very popular with both our children, especially our eldest as he was able to make friends and have some independence whilst…
We chose to go to this Club site so that we could visit the old Roman city of Chester, with the added bonus we could easily get into Liverpool again, and also access the retail park very close by. Chester was about 5 miles away and there was a good bus service every day. The drive down from Southport took us just over 90…
My idea of heaven? well, pretty much... Others may like to try this mini-tour... start around Stirling, head for Shiel Bridge (ideal for walking and side tours of Skye), next stop Altnaharra (more walking?) and long drives along the coast to Cape Wrath. Next a short hop to Dunnet Bay, visiting Dunnet Head, the Castle of…
http://wannabepikey.blogspot.co.uk/ This trip wasn't long in the planning. Herself was due to work the weekend but has a few days off before. I’d booked the days off so that we could do some walking but on Tuesday evening it was suggested that we drag the van out for a cheeky few nights away. After some extensive arm…
My wife and I have just returned from a weekend break in our caravan at Normanhurst Court club site near Battle. The site is lovely set in trees and well laid out and deserving of another visit. We have a Bailey Rimini 2013 which we bought as our first caravan and have been touring, as work allows for the past three years.…
After a successful 8 weeks in Europe, we headed for Belgium ready for our return journey to the UK. However just a few day's before our return I went down with shingles on my left hand side of my head, forehead and left eye. I ended up in a Belgium hospital in order to receive treatment. The pain was excruciating and no…
Noticed in our local North Wales newspaper the Daily POst that yet another caravan has come to grief travelling westwards on the A55 at Rhuallt Hill. This is a steep hill in a cutting and, at the bottom there is a long right hand curve into open country. This is where the wind waits for those travelling too fast !!! Please…
On our recent trip to the CC Brecon site we made a detour on the way home to the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. We've visited a few times and never fail to enjoy these lovely gardens both outside and inside. At this time of the year it's more inside for us, there's nothing like getting your glasses steamed up in a…
