    Driving License or not !!!

    Hi all, a tip I was given was to photocopy your original licence before sending it off for renewal or upgrading to a photo licence. That way you have proof that the groups were on your licence in the first place. It seems that yet another government agency can make **** ups but won't admit...

    Dog ground spikes

    Jane, I use one of the screw in type ground spikes for my boistrous boxer dog and he hasn't pulled one out of the wet ground yet. We previously had another boxer dog who was a little more boistrous and sometimes aggressive and the ground spikes always held him in place too. I can't see them...

    Renault Grand Scenic

    Hi Mike, I changed my car from the older type Scenic when I came back to caravanning due to the fact that they have a 'reasonable towing limit for a car that size providing you are going on your own. as soon as you add a passenger/co-driver and such your max tow limit drops about 100Kg.

    4 x 4 Drivers

    Services near Birmingham

    Try Warwick clean, friendly. Gather your breath before you hit the M42/M6 northbound and relax after M6/M42 southbound. Unfortunately only used them when solo so can't speak about them when towing.

    Best towing route from Wrexham to Abedaron for Bank Holiday w...

    Hi Tim, it seems as if you're asking the same sort of questions as me. The A470 around Dinas is very steep. I used a motorhome last year to go from East mids to Barmouth and spent most of the time in 2nd gear up the inclines. The road appears to be wide enough for passing although I must admit I...
