I have been lurking in the shadows since the begining of CT reading and learning a great deal. CT is in my opinion the foremost learning platform for would be and experienced caravanners, it is a mine of information.

It also has many characters who can be relied on to say what they think! I would on occasions like to join in although I would add I have never joined an on line community before.

I am looking forward to learning more about our wonderful hobby and perhaps occasionally passing on some of my own experiences.

Kind regards

Ken

    Welcome Ken, feel free to join in and have your say at any time.

    Do you have an outfit and, if so, is it a caravan or motorhome?

    Thank you Bellsboy

    I have a Swift 580 caravan and tour with my wife. Just started to take the older grand- children occasionally!

    Hello Ken,

    If you've been 'lurking' since the beginning of CT without posting, can I ask what made you suddenly decide to join in?

    Hello Jill,

    Opportunity I suppose. I am recovering from an op. and had some time on my hands. And my wife has been pestering me to join for a long time. It will be about a month before I can resume touring, and we have booked Malvern.

    Thanks Ken.  I just wondered if there was any particular reason.  Always interesting to hear people's views for feedback.

    Welcome anyway.  Wishing you continued recovery and an enjoyable trip to Malvern.

    Welcome KenofKent. I too lurked in the background for a looong time. I have often found the information on here to be invaluable (my husband is constantly amazed at the pointers I come up with after only four years of caravanning). But I hesitate to get
    embroiled in some of the more heated threads. It takes all sorts of course, but verbal fencing in the ether is not one of my interests

    Welcome KofK. Enjoy your trip to Malvern.

    I look forward to your posts and as for the 'verbal fencing' referred to by CW, it's not compulsory but stimulates the old grey cells.Happy

    Hi Triky,

    Yes. I live near Herne Bay, what part of Kent do you come from? As a very experienced traveller I will probably be wishing to pick your brains, especially in respect of Europe. I would love to take my caravan over there starting with France.

    Triky,

    Thank you so much. I should be back on my feet by the time you return from the IOW. Perhaps I can contact you then and meet up.

    Thank you Nelie,

    I have plans to visit the Wall near your neck of the woods and the Forts. It will be when the weather is mild!

    They're well away from us, but as it never rains and is alway mild in Cumbria you can come up this way any time.Wink

    Trellis,

    I can't believe that there are so many members from Kent on here. Thanks Kaenergas I am hoping to go to York late October. My wife has never been there.
