    “…just my thoughts.“

    Mine too, Corners. Hannah started a potentially useful thread which quickly went the way of so many others😕

    yes thanks, I thought it was just me that thought suggesting not going or heading over there was a 'real' suggestion?

    however, it doesnt have to be like that and assuming every new caravanner (this section) would rather do that and sit inside with a bowl of soup rather than sit in the sun with a nice Rioja is a bit blinkered.

    what? who said that? Do you think that is all people do in winter touring, of course you do the same that you do in summer, use your caravan as a base to visit the surrounding area. By all means have soup in the evenings though

    And again if even people do want to do that why is that wrong in your books? It must be as you've mention it specially? Why should they even have to justify their choice? Is it a case of your way or none?

    PS check the weather I've always found it spot on, in far worse conditions than you described. And get some decent winter gear will help too.

    I haven't got any photos of our stay at Rowntree Park in York when the snow came in and stopped play. York was wonderfully empty of tourists and we made repeat visits to some of the usually crowded attractions! Those coming to the site cancelled bookings and those who were there stayed on a bit longer. The less well insulated vans had the most difficulties and in the end we had frozen pipes but with a container of water on board we managed. One tap remained open on site and the facility blocks were open (a bit chilly underfoot!) 

    I'm thinking of people who don't mind the cold and love the snow, those who go off to do winter sports abroad and even here in Scotland when the ski slopes are busy and the mountains attract winter adventurers.

    Read up about contingency plans for low temperatures and you will survive and no doubt enjoy it. smile

    I've looked .... but can't find where B&B said you had to follow the sun over there  .... he just suggested there was an alternative to the cold over here.

    That’ll be the ‘unpredictable’ weather as per the forecast I suppose😀

    Horizontal rain? Come on, BB, that was nothing like horizontal. It was a bit windy and we had some rain but you do exaggerate 😂😂😂

    Enjoy today’s sun.

     And Back To Hannah's request for top tips / indispensible items :--

    Don't forget the Spanner for the gas bottles !!  In  fact I carry TWO ( 2 ) -- one to use and one to lose  wink !!

    Truly there's nothing worse than having to hunt for one at  Freeze o'clock in the early morning

    My spanner is stuck to a couple of strong magnets inside the top of my gas locker ..... it's always where I left it. ☺

    Not particularly sheltered, BB, but clearly an element of careful selection is wise. I’m staggered that anyone would choose to walk on a beach in the conditions you describe😂😂😂
