Noo then marra - I can recommend the Caravan Club Black Horse Caravan site just outside Folkestone, open all the year easily accessible off the motorway systems. Having lived in that area twice, now live further west, there is plenty to do and see, both inland and on the coast. There is a lot of...

You can learn something new everyday from these forums - off to turn the ariel around now before we hit the road tomorrow.

We have used Camping Le Futuriste a few times now, but as a stop over site on our way south, and never in the height of summer. It is a well run site, english speaking manager, small bar on site, bread etc available on site. Hard standing pitches some serviced, There are a number of chalets on...

I totally agree with these comments - woe betide anyone who tells me to switch my satnav off, or to throw it in the oggin because they don't have one!

The route from the south down into Millau is fine. Yes it is has a few bends and a low gear is in order for some way; prior to the opening of the Millau Bridge this was the accepted route north/south/north for all vehicles. We have done this journey many times with no problems at all. You could...

The price quoted in your post is IMHO a tad expensive - I paid £84 for an Easyfind Satellite upgrade kit which comprised of Easyfind LNB, digibox receiver, compass,scart cable and 10m of co-ax cable. Maplins are (were) selling a folding 60cm dish in case similar to that shown in your post for...

If you have a TomTom Live sat nav you can google LeClerc Auchan etc stores. We do this frequently both here and in the UK and Europe.

Thanks for the info Gafferbill - will give this some serious thought for next winter/spring. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Spain.

I would be interested in the site you are staying on near Nerja Gafferbill. We have visited Nerja previously from sites some distance away from the town and would love to find a recommended near by where we can drive easily onto the town. We think Nerja is a lovely town with plenty going on. Thanks

Camping Sainte Claire at Neufchatel-en-Bray just off A28 and approx 30 miles North of Rouen.

Sorry, just back from a couple of weeks in the Dales and have just seen your "post". Todate I have not heard a peep out of the C&CC about my e-mail response to their survey. Not surprised I'm afraid.

Totally agree, very confusing. If the C&CC used the funds this survey will have cost to reduce the cost of a pitch per night, the survey would not have been necessary. E-mail winging on its way to C&CC HQ to this effect.

As a native of the Lake District (Northern Lakes) I can sympathise with those who have been "washed out" recently. However forecasting the weather in the Lake District is relatively straight forward - if you can't see the fells it is raining and if you can see the fells it is going to rain -...
