Our lovely Lunar Lexon 2009 was stolen on Good Friday in the early hours based at a local Equestrian Centre behind locked gates and security lights we had alco locks and alarms but thieves managed to cut throught the lot We were thinking at least they dont have settee cushions as we have them at home for the winter BUT…
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…
This has been many years a go now, but a true story. I can't remember the exact date, but I've guessed at it, I'm afraid. One year we decided to go to a site called Creampots, near Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire. I think it was the Spring Bank Holiday Half Term. We had a good journey down, we were almost there - in fact just…
On Easter Saturday we caught the bus from our campsite gate, here at Los Madriles , to Cartagena. The return fare for the two of us was just 8.40€ and the trip took 40 minutes or so. We first visited Cartagena in 2005, and visited all the Roman ruins, the Castle, the Air-raid shelters and had a boat trip around the bay.…
We have just visited this Caravan Club Affiliated Site for approx the 5th year only to find that the site has gone downhill very rapidly with not only a building site to look at over the Easter Break but the attitude of the Wardens and Owner were very poor to say the least. The Adult's only area Shower block is being…
The day didn't start well! We set off from Torre del Sol to our next stop, which was an estimated hour and a half long drive - it took slightly longer due the sat nav not recognising the new roads that had been built in the area and getting very confused. We arrived mid afternoon to find that the campsite was shut. They…
In England, Father’s day is generally celebrated quite tamely – dad’s given breakfast in bed, has control of the TV remote for the day, is maybe taken out for a meal. It is a day to say thanks to our fathers for all they have done and give them what they would like for a whole 24 hours. In Spain though, they celebrate it a…
