    Episode 2 looks as hilariously good as episode 1 judging by what's on U tube...  Laughing

    At best one at least manages to get the map the right way up....   reading it of course being one challenge too far Sealed

    What really hacks me off about this sorry episode is the fact that the CC so arrogantly dismisses the views of the vast majority of their members. To the best of my knowledge, no single event has ever generated so much traffic on here, most of it negative;
    yet the powers that be dismiss any criticism out of hand. Social media apparently liked it - yippeee, that's all right then!

    mmm I think tonight may be a bit of  an anti climax, a bit like after the lord mayors show so to speak, dont get me wrong I'll deffo whatch it but some of the post's later might be toned down a bit,especially the wrist slashers, may be they've realised its
    a tongue in cheek light hearted bbc knock on another British past time come hobby, wont stop me taking my wobbly box out every other week, oh thats what lorry drivers call us, onwards and upwards.

    Reading the blurb on BBC TV online for tonights show, we are in for another hour of scintillating entertainment this evening.  To quote

    "Whether it's planning and precision, soft toys and costumes or breaking out new recipes - they all want the title.

    The Caravan Club has promised even tougher challenges and a demanding navigation test with road restrictions, and no sat navs quickly takes its toll. While some search for missing landmarks crucial to their route, a cake break is
    the stress-reliever for others"

    Teddy at my side and a slice of Battenburg, can't wait, lol. What's your soft toy and cake of choice?

    Can hardly wait for the next episode of the Beeb stitch up tonight. Television is the most cynical industry there is.

    I like Andy Harris, but as Billy Shannon says in Max n Paddys road to no where Not in a gay way   I just hope all the members who say they will not be renewing their membership do so or is it all just bluster, the program was just Telly on the same par
    as Xfaxterbritainsgottalentbigbrotherimacelebritygetmeoutofhere also it was on BBC2 who watches BBC2 it is what it is get over it

    I cannot see why anyone should think it to be funny. I do not consider carelessly seriously wrecking an expensive caravan is something to laugh at.  All repairs cost us all money whether paid for by insurance or by in this case possibly Lunar  .
    The almost total disregard for money shows why my site booking outside the school holidays has rocketed 36.6% over last year. Also wy did we not get a 2016 Handbook update this year only a list of costs after phoning the club? cost cutting to pay for competitions
    no doubt

    Are we doing something wrong?  We never make lists or plan a detailed route.

    Well so far we have the motorhome judge who doesn't know the width of his motorhome.  And of course which soft toy do we take to keep us company. Another mockery of the club, well done
