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…
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! The spectacular sunrise helps as we headed off down to the Bay to video the start of our journey and for a group photo of the crew. The Bailey Rangefinder…
I always use the online booking system for caravan club sites and put my outfit details and pitch requirements onto the system and then book and make the assumption that what I book is what I get. 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…
