We've noticed a growing trend! Lots of people that stay on Caravan Club sites bring along bird feeding stations that sit alongside their caravan or motorhome and allow them to watch the birds up close. We love nature and wildlife but don't have the room for a bird feeding station so Ella decided to make her own this week…
The latest addition to our motorhome is our bikes. We collected them from storage earlier this week and they now travel around with us attached to the back of our Autoquest 180. We missed not having them in our caravan last year. The bikes allows us a lot more freedom to explore an area. The motorhome, due to its size, can…
For the first time in recent days we awoke to a warm morning with no rain for the past 24 hours. The sky was clear and by the time we left the sun was shining. Our planned drive along the old Brennerpass road rather than the motorway to Italy was a treat we were looking forward to. Commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and…
We were introduced to caravanning after winning one in a competition last year. The Caravan Club and Elddis challenged us to visit 20 sites in 20 weeks and complete 100 tasks. This led to us winning an Elddis Xplore 574. This changed our lives. It proved to be the trigger that led to some life changing decisions; we…
The weather forecast for our trip to Shrewsbury in the middle of November was far from good with high winds and heavy rain threatened. Sometimes makes you wonder why we do our hobby!!! We were heading for Oxon Hall Touring Park which is on the outskirts of Shrewsbury and very conveniently next door to a Park and Ride. Our…
Left the UK on the 18th Sept for a month of touring in Germany. This was our first trip out to Europe with the caravan after an absence from caravanning for about 15 years. We had a holiday home in Spain for 12 years but missed the ability to visit new places, so sold up last Christmas and bought a caravan. Used Members…
November 2015 saw us take a small break down in the Swindon area of the country as we wanted to be near relatives and to visit the spa town of Bath. After checking on the Caravan Club CL site we decided on a new CL that had recently opened called Thatado Farm, just outside Swindon near Leigh, as it had 5 hard standing…
Greetings!!! We were originally "glampers" and after visiting our usual camp site one weekend and doing the usual "people watching" the wife fell in love with the neighbours trailer tent. I explained to her that in part there was still an element of "glamping" involved in that the "tent" part of the trailer would still…
After leaving the county of Tipperary we headed to county Kerry, excited by all the comments we'd heard about this being a beautiful part of the country. We even met a woman on the ferry over who insisted we head over to Dingle in particular. It was 30 years ago that I came to this part of the world on a family holiday and…
Yes, we made it to Ireland! We crossed the Irish sea, leaving Fishguard and arriving in Rosslare. We then travelled a further 3 hours into the midlands of Southern Ireland, arriving at the Glen of Aherlow Caravan Site at half past nine at night to be greeted with a friendly Irish welcome, before setting up in the dark. The…
