but subjecting others to taunts of being frightened, having no imagination etc.... are a bit like playground bullying of a child who is different. It's not nice, it says a great deal more about those doing the bullying
and again +1, indeed it is just that

so many who don' seem to regard thier van as anything more than a second class means of taking the occasional short trip close to home
The only one poster of so many who has mentioned anything about caravaning being second class is you David. and you have mentioned it twice now

Well done, TDA, for saying what you have. Some people do indeed have very good reasons for not holidaying or travelling abroad. There may be personal, financial, family or medical reasons and you have ably demonstrated the point.
I wish people with no knowledge of other's circumstances would stop criticising people’s choice of holiday destination as it is hurtful and, let’s face it, rude and thoughtless.
I wish you well wherever your LV is pitched, as I do everyone. However, like you, I can well do without the constant jibes about our choices.3 -
I would like to think they will stop but alas trolls and bullies never do

We haven't toured abroad ,and I don't feel I need to justify that ,but for the benefit of those who do and think maybe I would be out of my comfort zone ,the reasons are .
only just got a passport , my elderly parents,and losing my dad last month , my wife having 27 operations in 9 years , and 10 years ago coming out my "comfort zone" by giving up my well paid job and buying a retail business,
but to all of you that tour abroad for weeks on end ,carry on and make the most of it ,you only have yourself to please , I'm happy for you

I've no doubts many of us have on occasion had to compromise on our choices, but if you have imagination, enough income to get by on, an adventurous spirit that see's solutions other than problems, then you can still have fun, which is what it is all about. Our buying an MH was just that. Easier than our caravan at the moment, brilliant for quick getaways. And I have commuted all over country using trains to meet OH to maximise our getting away!

Exactly HD, what it's all about. I am going to be "touring" France next week for three weeks, along with a couple of hundred cyclists, armed with a map of France and trusty Google to tell me a bit more about the lovely scenery on the way. It will have to suffice for the moment until we can do it for real!

Good post HD! It's a shame folk feel the need to justify the way they choose to spend their leisure time.
Seems to be a peculiarly CT thing though - thing is you and I are members of another caravanning forum (the only other one I'm a member of) where folk who tour abroad make interesting, informative and witty posts about their trips without the remotest suggestion that they are in any way superior or using it as a platform for suggesting that others are somehow missing out by not doing likewise.

As has been pointed out the thread has been taken way off course, with apologies to the OP whose thread has been hijacked it is time to close.

No one will ever convince me the name change was needed so don't even try, all that seems to have happened is motorhome has been added to the club name and now we have tents and glamping pods, this club is trying to attract young families and the other club I understand is offering 25% discount to attract the over 60s but of course I will carry on booking my pitch ( If I can get my head round the new system) and while refilling our aquarolls, debate with other members how to put the world right.
