Just back from a week in Scotland with my family on our first long distance trip. The trip was organised around my wife’s plan to walk the West Highland Way with two of her friends while the husbands looked after the kids and provided support to them along the route. Day 1 Everything checked and double checked, we set off…
On our final night at Monte Holiday, north of Madrid, we stayed in one of the tree houses that they offer as accommodation. We all felt very excited about the prospect of spending a night up in the trees. There are currently seven treehouses at the Monte holiday site: two smaller ones that sleep 2 people and 5 larger ones…
Our trip north continues as we leave the mountainous region of Alto Palancia for another mountainous region north of Madrid, this time staying at Monte Holiday site. We love the mountains and countryside and planned to stay here for four nights. Our stay coincided with Easter weekend so the site was busy and it meant the…
When we first tried to book Bonterra Park we were told that it was extremely popular and we'd be lucky to get a couple of nights here. We managed it and they were right, it was popular - there were two pitches left to choose from when we arrived. The site is regularly booked by English caravanners and motorhomers…
Hi All from New Zealand I'm an ex newspaper photographer, now semi retired and running a Motorhoming blog in NZ. Features on people with vans and places we've found to be interesting places to stay.

Having caravanned a huge amount with the kids for over a decade, I thought I knew how our screen-free breaks would go. I’d pictured a snapshot of my own youth, when gadgets were limited to the Bat & Ball ‘games consul’ that plugged into the telly and TV channels could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Mobile phones?…
Date: Aug 15 Location: Crystal palace caravan club site Time: 7:36am So our first morning in the caravan showed to be rather challenging. Caroline not being able to charge her phone, the hot water non existence and the heater didn't want to co-operate. Obviously I had everything under control, apart from a few little…
I was reading in another Forum about someones first experiences when caravanning for the first time. He had apparently jumped in with both feet and had bought himself a brand new caravan and all the kit and as you would expect encountered a number of unexpected problems. Luckily he had been wise enough to set off in…
I've gotten into a few tight corners over the years but the one I laugh most about :- One Easter about 30 years ago I went off for 6 nights with my wife, a 2 year old and 11 year old daughter. I had just gotten out of my sick bed after a bad bout of flue and wasn't really fit. We were heading for a CL attached to a…
