New to autumn and winter touring

yes could be but usually for those that suffer from PE epilepsy it's usually 3-30Hz, some sources say 16- 25Hz is the most common danger zone. Also other factors are at play, brightness for example and closeness to the source. We never had any advice not to have Christmas lights in schools.
The seizures are bad enough to watch and give aftercare to but I knew a colleague who was a keen caravanner who couldn't drive for a few years.

Well, I knew I'd get a reaction when I posted about my 'Dreamweaver' lights - fairly predictable, I suppose.
Let me say this - I am not inconsiderate, nor a 'numpty' and I have no intention of upsetting anyone on site - but on the other hand I see no harm in a few Christmas decorations - at.......Christmas time. Indeed, it's one of the things we enjoy seeing when away at Christmas - how quite a lot of people enter into the spirit of things and decorate their vans.
We were at the NYM site at Whitby a couple of weeks ago and because someone else had lights on a pole, I thought I'd give mine a try - just to make sure they worked OK. Within a minute or so, about a dozen couples had gathered around and were thoroughly enjoying the light show and were quite upset when I turned them off after a few minutes. So not everyone disapproves of them.

I certainly don't dis-approve. We love them, we also have a set of cheap (£1 each) solar lights on spikes for around the pitch (helps to set your aim and course when coming back from the toilet block after a few glass of Lambrini) and a set of solar powered string lights for the outside of the awning.

Agree. Opening the door to a snowy park is magical.

I might have missed it, but has anyone mentioned a slow cooker. Coming home to a van that has turned its heating on before you get home, awash with the aroma of a slow cooked stew. Uncork the vino. Serve up and enjoy. That's A/W touring for me.

now that is a good suggestion

Our must have items - Hats, scarves, gloves, extra towels and coins for the dryer as we don’t really like wet towels/clothes hanging in the LV. Raincoats only go in the shower area if necessary as they are not suitable for the dryer. Horlicks or Ovaltine for when we get back from a walk. We like the UK’s changing seasons and also like seeing units decorated at Xmas though we only usually spend a night or 2 on sites when travelling to relatives at Xmas time.

Im surprised BB you missed a couple of important items for touring over there
If you travel by boat to Spain and your not a good sailor, best pack the seasick pills for the Bay of Biscay 🤢🤢🤮
Depending where you tour over there you may need winter tyres and even snow chains, check before you travel

good try BB but I'll just repost what you wrote:
if the BBC has to read their 'flashing lights, epilepsy warning' alongside jut about every news item, why arent folk being affected continually by the flashing lights on site....perhaps the poles have disclaimers on them?
about time H&S got to grips with this.
Dismissive? and Dr ? and why the 'school' wow, if you had to deal with someone having a seizure deal with all the mess and pain it causes, and see lives ruined perhaps you would not joke at all about such things twice in one day. I really hope you never see one and/or it happens to close friends or family.

I get the impression that those lucky enough to tour abroad who have posted on here are talking about a good few weeks?
Don't forget those that just tour at weekends.
