    Fiamma Awning.

    We have 2006 and really love it as it is so quick. Recommend buying all together (you get everything including pegs etc.)as it will work out more expensive to buy the side zips later.

    CL or park accepting 1 night overnight stay

    Does any one know of a book/guide to overnight stops. Maybe one can be recommended. We are travelling from East Sussex to Newquay middle of August and as we have a 3 year old would like to stay overnight halfway enroute somewhere around Lyme Rgis or Charmouth. Thanks Cathie
