Our next stop in France, after one night near Calais, was the Picardie region, east of Paris; this was approximately a 3 hour journey and would be easily accessible if arriving in Calais and wanting to break up a journey travelling south. The Caravan Club site is Au Bord de L'Aisne in Guignicourt, a small town, 25km from…
We had a long day's drive ahead of us and we wanted to get off early in the morning. Unfortunately our plans were quickly scuppered. We got up in good time, had breakfast and packed away. We then reversed the motorhome towards the tarmacked road, initially succeeding to move out of our grass pitch but metres away from hard…
The sun shone on El Berro for the eighth annual 'Encuentra de Quadrillas' (meeting of the crews), which brings musicians, singers and dancers from Alhama de Murcia and its surrounding villages. The day started with informal groupings playing in the town square while orange cake and coffee sweetened with aniseed was free to…
One of my long standing ambitions had been to drive the amazing route in Northern Ireland from Belfast to Bushmills – the Causeway Route – and this I did in July 2011. It is listed as one of the top European drives and frequently gets listed very high in top drives of the world so I always knew I was in for something…
Today we set off on our two-month winter motorhoming trip to France and Spain, excited at the prospect of learning new languages and visiting interesting cultural locations. This trip is a month later than planned after ferries to Spain were cancelled due to stormy weather conditions in January. We took the ferry from…
After a long journey south, we left the Picardie region and headed to Lyon. Our campsite was one of a chain called Indigo and it had a much more continental feel about it. The location was on the outskirts of Lyon, in a built up area surrounded by hotels and shopping centres. There was a large reception area with small…
This year it was Orkney, a third visit for us but a first with the van, reached in stages from the southwest via Cumbria, Aberdeenshire and Caithness. The ferry journey begins at Gills Bay (the shortest route) and the art of reversing onto a ferry marks the start of the adventure....vans first, then the delivery…
NEW CARAVAN For the last two years my wife and I and our three dogs have been enjoying our Venus 4 berth caravan. We have had several holidays around the Devon and Somerset coast and thoroughly enjoyed them. The only problem with the Venus was the seating area which we found to be quite small. We were never looking for…
It may seem along way away but already the Caravan Club Concert Band has started rehearsing for the Celebration Promenade Concert at next year’s National in honour of the Queen’s 90th birthday. During October, members of the Band travelled from all over the country to Braithwell near Doncaster for an intensive weekend of…
When visiting London we have tended to stay at the Crystal Palace and Alderstead sites in the past but recently decided to break up our stay in London with a few days at Abbey Wood to the east of London. Like many Caravan Club sites, you are hidden away in woodland within a surprisingly built up area. It never ceases to…
