Hi all, I am sorry to say that illness is preventing Lady G & me from attending Woosiefest at Wheathill. Hopefully l will be ok to be at PC Rally next year. Hope you all have a blinder of a good time and quaff much all. Best Wishes to all Sir Brian of Stevenage.

Hi all, Apologies for delay in replying only we went away again to Poynton. We actually stayed on Haven sites, not everybody's cup of tea but very cheap for two oldies. l did some research on A1 and yes, it has moved away from the original old North Road. We actually have the A1 (M) running...

Hi Snakehips, Welcome to the Forum. Good to have your experience here online. Sir Brian of Stevenage. B)

Hi, Welcome to the forum. A motor mover is worth its weight in gold, and it is probably a lot cheaper than having to try and get you caravan repaired if you ding it, because as you say, you are in a tight space. Also good for your back and you no longer have worry about trying to reverse...

Hi TheAdmiral, Welcome to the fantastic and friendly world of caravaning. We have a Bailey Magenta; superb caravan, very stable when towing and light enough to not hit your mpg too much. Sir Brian of Stevenage B)

Thanks Sir Dustydog, I expect it will be quite basic but the thing l am looking foward to is having the canal outside the front window. I get the impression that the site owners are quite laid back. Like you we are fully self sufficient so no problem I. Back for a fortnight then off to Ferry...

Best to revert back to old technology, streaming video of burning candle marked off in 1 day segments. B)

we are off to Stockport next week. Corrie Studio Tour, shopping for her indoors and visit to Chester. Staying at Elm Beds Caravan Park right next to canal. can't be bad, then off for the big bash. See you there.

Welcome to the Forum and good for you going for it. Any van can be like home from home, put in the love and it will repay you in spades. Just a note of caution, you need to ensure you meet legal criteria with regard to towing when you update. Buy Practical Caravan magazine for the best...

We only have a short time to the big event so Let us get counting. 1,2,3, em, what's next?

I take it you are talking about the rather large (ish) soup bowl that sits at the rear of the 'van! Lady G tried once, and it was nearly soup for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have resumed the duty.

Lady G informs me she will be providing her special Cheesy Potato Pie (Very Yummy) :whistle: her special Savoury Rice; Knowing her, she will do something else as well, so can you include these into the festive feast. Looking forward to seeing everybody again. Cheers, Sir Brian of Stevenage. B)

Hi SailTerry and welcome to the forum, Pleased you are getting plenty of use from your 'van. Don't forget, if you get a problem, The Forum is the first place to look for an answer. Sir Brian of Stevenage. B)

Hi and welcome to the Forum. Go and buy a copy of Practical Caravan, there are always lots of adverts for various accessories. Also as per advice already, check caravan tyre dates and that it not subject to finance deal, etc. It is worth having a mate with you for some of the initial decisions...

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum. There is a lot of good advice here. If possible, take somebody experienced with you when you are looking at caravans. And, when you go in a 'van take a good intake of breath through your nose. Does it smell damp, then leave it alone? With older secondhand...
