We regularly holiday in Europe and have always taken out Red Pennant insurance and until last summer never had cause to use it. We were travelling through France en route to the Dordogne region when the automatic gearbox on our car began to play up. We tiptoed the last 20 or so miles using the tiptronic function and set up…
Heading southwards, we ventured into Somerset to visit a coast we'd never been to before - Berrow & Burnham-on-Sea, south of Weston Super Mare - and stay at Hurn Lane Caravan Club site. Like many English coastal areas, it attracts many tourists and not surprisingly the place has numerous caravan and camping sites. The…
The Caravan Club at Gatwick is exactly that...at Gatwick, the airport, located beside the runway! Now, not surprisingly this means noise. We had read reviews from other members that warned of the expected noise levels of the planes as they take off so we were prepared for it although when we arrived were surprised by how…
Back in the early ‘eighties’, Chas was posted to RAF Brüggen in West Germany as S Eng O, 31 Squadron. So off we went, the whole family (Chas, Cath, Fiona (8) and Fraser (5)) to live in married quarters on the base. It was a fun time for the family, but at the height of ‘The Cold War’ Chas’s job was pretty demanding. Like…
We got up this morning to a lovely bright and sunny morning here on the Caravan Club site in Brighton. All the pitches around us are occupied, some by motorhomes and others by caravans. It's hard to believe that people put their caravans to bed for the winter, when you see so many people here enjoying the great outdoors.…
We were due to leave the Littlehampton Caravan Club Site after an enjoyable 21 night stay there. It was our day of departure and we had just hitched the car and caravan up, checked the electrics, lights etc. and started to pull away from our pitch when suddenly the towbar came off the towball, the red cable snapped after…
We have returned to the south coast on our way to get the ferry to Spain so decided to see the New Year in at Brighton. We like the Brighton Caravan Club Site; it might be tucked away, down a lane, sheltered by the rise of the South Downs but the rest of the world is easily accessible, if and when you want it. We walked,…
Tonight will be our 7th night here on the Caravan Club site in Brighton. How quickly the week has gone! We've had two days of that week in glorious sunshine where visiting the sea front has been a pleasure. Yesterday evening we drove back to our outfit in the dark and it was a lovely drive along the sea front through Hove…
We spent most of our day in Worthing. Whilst Worthing is only 15 miles away from our site in Brighton, it can take up to an hour to get there. There were lane closures on the sea front due to roadworks which slowed all the traffic down. However,the weather was good which made it a pleasant drive along the sea front. The…
Told to me by a Dutchman in the South of France: We were on route to Perpignan from our last stop at Nevers tootling along listening to Elvis on the CD in our nice Mercedes and nearly new Caravan fitted with all the gadgets one could buy including ATC for added safety. We were at the first long climb South of Claremont…
