we have bought the pyramid tuscany awning with detachable wind break as we couldn't afford the larger bradcott either, found it excellent for long and short stays.

We are off with friends 4 adults & 4 kids on 27 July to the Vendee St Hilaire de Riez (les biches) for 8 days and then down to the dordogne (st Avit loisirs)for 2 weeks. Going dover to calais so some stopovers en route. Can't wait better get the ironing finished or we are going naked!

Thanks for that yes we are sticking to the A1, M11 route as usual I was using those places for distance really. That site sounds good do you know about any service stations?

can anyone recommend an overnight stop enroute to the vendee from calais we not crossing until 4.30 in the afternoon so don't want to head to far down as we have a long drive to get to dover. We were going to stop in an aria but after reading this forum I'm now very nervous of this idea as we...

could any one give us an idea of where we could stay overnight enroute to dover? We are leaving home tyneside about tea time and thought we would get to about sheffield nottingham area before stopping, are there any service stations in the area or are they as dangerous as the ones in france...

We went here last easter! Good luck, we found the shop sold little and was a good drive to any, the weather was terrible (although it was march last year) it rrained all the time it wasn't a thick mist thr weather was better when we were out and about. The pitches were totally water logged and...

we are off to wild rose in appleby (near penrith) I think, for the whole of april so leaving on saturday when the driver, my lovely husband comes home from work. We won't be able to stay for the whole month but I work in education so the kids and I will stay for the easter break and my husbanb...

Hi Gill We loved parc de fierbois it was great for the kids especially the pool area and the lake. Our son could fish while our daughter swam and we sunbathed. There is an excellent take away with dishes of the day you have to take your own pan and they fill it with the food we had chicken...

Hi David we did this very journey last summer. Yes it is a sensible distance to do in one day as your children are the same age as mine you don't have to keep stopping as often as when they are little! We stayed overnight at guines just outside calais as we have a long drive down from tyneside...

My aunt and uncle use this awning on there swift charisma it's a dealer special but the dimensions are the same. The awning fits fine and they are really happy with it we liked it so much we bought one too!

We have also just bought a bigger and have a bradcot classic awning that was 900cm we have just had it altered to 980 but was told by the workshop that 75cm is the maximum they could add. We only needed 65cm. phew!!! we don't want to replace either but I wouldn't recommend addding more that...

We collected our second new van last saturday and are going away again this weekend. Its a fleetwood sonata melody this is our second fleetwood but this one is more continental and definatley built better so far so good.

Hi Kevin Yes the van was great it's a Fleetwood Sonata Melody based on the Adria. We had a fleetwood sonata harmony before but found it a bit small with a teenage daughter! and 10 yr old son how much stuff they take amazes me.
