Have a look at Irton House Farm at the top of Bassehtwaite Lake. It's a very peaceful CL 5 van site and has uniterupted views down of the fells down the lake to Keswick. It has EHU, 2 heated toilet/shower blocks and even has a snooker and table tennis tables in a barn at the side if you...

Hi Jo-Anne Yes their is another c c site with a pool (indoor) and that's Wood Farm at Charmouth, Dorset. Think there is a charge for using the pool though. We are off there with the grandchildren in August!! Daisy Moo

Planning on going to France next year for our first time abroad in a caravan. Wondered if anyone can tell me of any clubs, like the caravan club, who do organized trips abroad for 'newies' to show us the ropes etc. I've seen it advertised somewhere but can't remember where or who did it...

Hi Gagakev I know what you mean about pressure of being chaperoned when looking round vans, and I don't like it either. BUT I can see if from a dealers point of view, and the ones I have spoken to have all had things stolen from their vans - all of which have to be replaced. One dealer even...

Hi Rob Irton House Farm at the top of Bassenthwaite Lake is a real gem! It's about a 30 minute drive (if that) to Carlisle, but the uninterupted views from the site down Bassenthwaite Lake towards Keswick and surrounding fells are magnificent. There are two shower/toilets which are kept very...

Thanks everyone for your feedback on Norfolk - it's certainly given us food for thought! Wasn't too sure about the area as we've never been before, but from comments posted it sounds to be worth a try. Looking forward to it!

Hi Was thinking of going to Scotland at end of May but following the forum on the irritating midges up there we thought of going into Norfolk, but as we've never been round that area before can anyone recommend the best part to head for, and also any site recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Thinking of trying Woodlands Park in Devon next summer. Has anyone been and what is the site like? It looks like if you stay in the park you get free entry into the Theme Park so does that mean that the rides are included or are they paid for seperately. Also are there any swimming facilities...

Hi Yes, you certainly do need to do a bit of practice - lots of ups and downs, especially in the Lake District. You may find the following link useful - lots of piccies and an idea of the route etc. Don't forget to wade in the sea at St Bees first, pick up a stone off the beach, carry it...
