Well the day arrived for our first trip out with our Sprite Major 4FB Caravan. We caravanned years ago when our children were little but have not been for years. My wife was a little reluctant to take up caravanning again but with a little persuasion, we are now sat in our lovely new caravan on Pitch 23 at The Cirencester…
Inner cities can be interesting and Bristol is no exception. A visit to the Cumberland Basin, the old dock area, shows many changes of use. The old warehouses, V shed and M shed, are now a restaurant and a Bristol history museum. Two large cranes that once worked for a living now 'talk' and regale everyone with tales of…
I was reading a thread this week about the problems with Midges that can be experienced on the West coast of Scotland from the end of may onwards. That issue reminded me of a greater problem that I faced at the very beautiful site at Bunree Nr Ben Nevis. We arrived there late one afternoon and busied ourselves getting…
Dear Sir/Madam, My husband and I are members of the Caravan Club. We attended the Caravan Show in Birmingham in February 2015 and purchased the above awning. We were told by the salesman that a limited number of awnings were reduced from £749 by £100 due to a slight imperfection where some of the dye had run. We also…
We would like to say a big thankyou to the Caravan Club and its members, for their warm welcome during a recent 9 week tour around the uK. We joined the club from NZ prior to our arrival, and it was an easy process to start our travels around the country, using mostly club sites. We found the Site Managers to be extremely…
Wow - the first word Ella and I vocalized upon arriving at Villanova Park. Never before had we seen so many activities in one location, never mind on a campsite! I’m sure you can imagine our utter joy of exploring as soon as the motorhome was safely pitched. While mum and dad caught up with the washing at the on-site…
After travelling along the south coast of France we reached the Spanish border and headed into Spain for our next month abroad. Our first pit stop was a campsite near Barcelona called Vilanova Park. We chose this because of its proximity to Barcelona. We had two days trip planned during our short stay here - one in…
One of the aims of our trip to France was for the girls (and us) to immerse themselves in the culture and language; seeing, doing and experiencing the country first-hand rather than through a text book or video. The girls had learnt some basic French at school but were keen to put it and much more into practise. Here's…
Our last few days in France were spent travelling along the south coast from Nice in the east to Perpignon in the west, near the border with Spain. What has been wonderful is that we didn't have a plan! Unlike the previous weeks when campsites were booked and we knew where we going, the page was completely blank and it…
On Sunday the 19th of July, my wife and I left the West Ayton site near Scarborough with our caravan, a Bailey Senator, to travel on the A170 towards the A1 on which we intended to travel over to the Lake District. We had been away from home for 2 weeks by this time on our 4 week summer holiday and West Ayton was our 4th…
