Our last stop in Spain was on the coast at a site called Playa Oyambre. We were lucky because the sun was out and we could truly appreciate the view. In the distance we could see the peaks of the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian Mountain range. They framed this luscious green area which we were duly informed is thanks to…
Nowhere exotic you understand just to rural Gloucestershire to the Slimbridge Wetlands Centre set up by naturalist/writer/artist Peter Scott in 1946. We decided to try Tudor Caravan Park as our base as it is situated alongside the Gloucester and Sharpness Ship Canal and a relatively short walk from the Wetland Centre.…
Trip to EU 2 Our trip is now well and truly under way. Having visited Reims and Laon and staying in Guignicourt which may I add was a tad expensive for this time of year, I thought. I know they have done a lot of improvements but this time of the year I doubt the pool gets much use or the bar/snack bar, etc. So we have…
I was merrily paying my standing order to the National Trust, when I thought, hold on! The next time the renewal comes I shall cancel and see what happens. I cancelled, and not a word was received. I mentioned this to my freinds at the golf club, and then one of them said, '' have you told them your a pensioner''. I said…
Day 1: Denham to Mount Magnet 736km Thursday 20th August So, our official start day has finally arrived! Everyone is really excited, despite our 4:30am start time!

This does not seem to me to be unreasonable and, in my view the pitch should be available when I arrive even though it may be…
We were en-route to Scotland and needed a stop-over for the night, so we chose a lovely little CL just off the M6 near Preston (I won't mention the name - this wasn't their fault). I pulled off the motorway, beginning to relax and looking forward to a cuppa and settling down for the night, but I relaxed too soon! The CC…
My wife and I have just spent five days at the Caravan Club, Edinburgh, Knowepark site and would just like to say how delighted we were with the experience. The staff were friendly and very hard working making this site a pleasure to visit. There was no comparison with the Camping and Caravan Club, Loch Morlich, Aviemore…
We are inching closer and closer to the coast now. Our penultimate night in Spain was spent in a beautiful countryside location in the Cantabria region. The site was called Molino de Cabuerniga and was situated in the Cabuerniga valley surrounded by hills and mountains, some of which were still covered in snow. The…
Day 1 Never ever trust yewer satnav Well, what a tow that was! All was going well until we passed Llandrindod Wells. Despite thefact that Mandy the Mondeo has 1.5 tonnes of caravan fastened to her arse, tomtom decides to have some fun with us, and we arrived at Daisy Bank after a rather interesting tow through and over the…
