We've stayed there many times and have never had a problem. The pitches are in enclaves with hedges between. Hook up points are not in all pitches - you may have to slip round the hedge into next door to plug in. We love the place. We email to book and they don't ask for deposits. They have...

We stay at Blaarmeersen, on the edge of Gent every year. Good site with a lake, bar, restaurant. Superb sports centre on site. Short bus ride into town takes 20 minutes and buses run every 15 mins or so. Municipal site. Booking is easy. Email to say when you are arriving. Pay on Tuesdays or...

We pay

Yes, indeed. One of the unforseen items of expenditure was for three sets of top quality NIMH rechargeables. Our Oregon absolutely eats Duracells and the like. Now the cells are fully charged we are getting 12 hours or more from a set. Keith

We've been using the Garmin Oregon 400 for va couple of months. You can buy OS mapping on SD cards for Garmin Dakota, Colorado and Oregon, but probably not for the other one. You will also need mapping software for your pc to get the best out of your gps. You can then download walks (or cycle...

Hi Wendy Don't know if he was the fella we saw speeding there, prbably on Friday. He came roaring up the hill at Sandringham so fast that we thought the van was going over as he rounded the corner at the top. He then had to slam on his brakes as there was an outfit blocking the road whilst...

We had a Witter towbar fitted to our Octavia a few months ago, and the fitting depot left the steel beam in the boot for me to take home. Keith and Sue from Norwich

Hi Rod We're off to Blaarmeersen again on 21st June, our 5th visit. Great site, in a sports park/village. Every sport you can imagine goes on there. A lake with a swimming area and a beach. Good fishing in the lake, the nearby rowing coourse and local canals. Nice food in the restaurant...

It's very interesting to compare experiences. We bought our old car in July 2004, when it was 3 months old, and it had 5000 miles on the clock. It had been the showroom demonstrator, and we got cruise control, climate control, alloys, and leather kit thrown in. The model was the Ambiente, but...

We recently swapped our 2004 old shape 1.9tdi for a 57plate new shape elegance. Our van is a 2006 Ace Jubilee Envoy, which has a MPTLM of 1288kg. We have had no problems towing wityh the old car, but have already noticed that the new car seems to have a bit more appetite for the job. It wasn't...

Our outfit is a 2004 Octavia 1.9 diesel car/ Ace Jubilee Envoy. We get the burning clutch smell occasionally when we're reversing. Our storage site is a sloping field with longish grass, and I have to reverse uphill into our spot. The couple of times I've gotten the angle a bit wrong and had...

I actually feel sorry for Great Yarmouth and the people who live there. I believe that it is officially one of the most deprived areas in the EU. The place must generate millions of pounds in income from the mass of visitors, yet very little of it funnels into making it a nice place to live in...

In my opinion, anyone who books a holiday in GY deserves all the help they can get with the route. The route David has given you, through Downham and Swaffham and the A47, is fine. Alternatively, stay on A14 to Bury St Edmunds and pick up the A143 all the way to GY. The A143 is single...
