    Gets us into a new area (to us) to explore as well as enjoying good weather (hopefully) and relaxing in the sunshine with a bevvy or two and a book. To hell with the rest of the world!

    Indeed, but I do recall that the winning three word 'slogan' would be published? Even if the winners wanted anonymity that would be good?

    Getting away from the kids for some peace and quiet from time to time.

    Completely agree with all of the above (especially regarding club sites😁).

    Also for us caravanning has given us a joint hobby. Before we got our caravan hubby would go off on fishing trips and I would do stuff with my friends. Now however, we've advanced from simple country walks with the dogs near to whichever site we stayed on, to seeking out sites to use as a base to climb mountains from! The last 2 trips away we didnt use the tv at all, we enjoyed so much time outdoors. It's given us both a new lease of life and a common interest too. I love it and can't imagine ever stopping.

    I agree entirely Tyke + my own equipment: cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery etc.  Also no restrictions to meal times.  More flexibility to plan.  Not always possible to take dogs in hotels guest houses etc.  It's probably more sociable - perhaps more chance of speaking to other people.  No formality.  You can be in a completely different place but there is still familiarity of living quarters and equipment.  My awning will look the same in Cornwall as it does in Provence.

    Our house is not just our home, but part of the farm - and caravanning means our temporary “home” is just that - our home - not shared with  the business. No one will turn up selling stuff, looking for long lost relatives, needing to be fed etc. It’s just the two of us.

    That seems like a cue for a song, Goldie  --   from one of your gigs, perhaps   ??undecided

    I know everyone who has ever slept in my bed, used my shower, used my toilet.

    We had taken self catering holidays in the UK for 30 years of marriage and, maybe we were unlucky, but we could count the good ones on the fingers of one hand. We saw the TV programme with Alex Riley and decided to see what modern caravaning could offer. We chose our first caravan well and have not looked back.

    We love the peace and quiet of CL sites and always know what the accommodation is going to be like before we get there.

    We are exploring parts of the country we have never been to before and returning to old favourites.
