How many nights away in 2016?

As we're quickly getting to the end of the year, I'm wondering how many nights away people have achieved in their caravans/motorhomes this year? (excluding full-timers.)  As we're still committed to earning a living and the restrictions that annoyingly puts
on our lives, we've so far managed 58 nights, but with more to look forward to.

    I've never counted them.  Don't see it as important really.  I don't need to know and I'm sure nobody else does.

    I don't need to know either but as I use a spreadsheet when booking it is easy enough to check Winking

    32 so far this year, but expect to do more before year end once the last of 23 faults are fixed and we can trust nothing else to fall off or fall apart. No real point in towing it to sites to worry if something else has fallen off / apart Sad

    About the same as the OP, not all CC and some rallies. A short trip coming up late November and also a few days at New Year....and that is the rather reduced total for the Brues this year. Wink

    Not me...Malcolm M the champ. However ours are just holidays not as a base for working. Can't give you the total number as there's still our X-Mas trip to go, but up to now we've been away for 223 nights.

    Just 70 nights for us so far this year.  Most of those were our summer holiday in Germany, France and Italy.  Only one CC site (Tredegar House, in February).  One C&CC site during the May Day BH weekend.  One visit to Wrexham and two visits to Cornwall.
     Hoping to go to Buxton (Clover Fields) on Saturday, but the car is playing up so might have to cancel. (Frown).  We'll get at least one more visit
    in before the end of the year.

    No, we'd done 230 by the same time last year, and that was less than the year before, I seem to remember.

    118. Mainly our France / Belgium summer trip. But also 2 birding trips to Norfolk & 2 footy away matches (Celtic and Chelsea). 

    Don't think we'll get another trip in this year, but, you never know.....

    Around 30 ish, actual diary is in the motorhome.  Not many sadly.  But we have had two trips to New Zealand since January and had to fit work in too, decided I won't return after agreed unpaid leave.  IF I don't need to earn, hopefully it'll be more next
    year.  How I long to be like nellie, didn't get to exchange much in the way of conversation when we briefly met, maybe our paths will cross again.

    You never know, B2. Hope that it does happen in the not too distant future. We've been fortunate to meet up with a few CT posters so far and look forward to meeting them again plus other new ones too.
