Finally managed to get my 3 weeks on the west coast of France for next summer booked and can't wait now. Below is the itinerary starting at the end of July. Any comments on ferry crossings, sites, routes (especially from France to Santander) would be greatly appreciated. 8.00am sailing from...

My wife has just bought a Mini that has an auto stop/start function. Does anybody know if using this system will have any effect on the car long term. I personally find it irritating at the moment, but that just because its different!!!

Could anybody please advise me of the best route to this site from Calais, in particular the best route (if there is one) around Paris. Also I would appreciate any comments about the site and any activities in or around the local area.

Fully agree with all of the comments that have already been made. We to have a 6 year old daughter who is at the same stage of wanting just a little more freedom and we do exactly as Annette, pitch close to the play area so it can always be seen from the caravan and walk routes and set...

Calling all traffic officers or insurance agents!!! A new years eve druken argument has erupted over the legal stance regarding the number of passengers travelling in a car and the number of seats and seatbelts available. Basically one party has argued that if a 'seat' is available (basically...

I know this is a little late maybe to get a pitch, but I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good site (with entertainment) for the New Year period within an hour and a half of Wigan (2 adults and 2 kids, 2 & 6). We had no plans to go away, but we are taking delivery of a new van at the...

Let me know how you get on mat, i live in Wigan (WN3)also and have a spare set of the old style milenco mirrors in the garage that i had from a previous towcar, you are more than welcome to lend them if you need to.

Whereabouts do you live mat? it may be easier to lend a set of mirrors for a trip.

Whilst waiting for the ferry in Calais yesterday afternoon we pulled up alongside a series of 'commercial' vehicles (transits and flatbeds) towing a variety of caravans. Once outside the car stretching our legs we noticed on closer inspection that some of the towing vehicles had removed their...

Off to France next week, we will be using the A26/A1 towards Paris, i have used this route a few times solo, but never with the van. Could anybody tell me the difference in price from just a car to a car and van, i hadnt even given it a thought!!!

Just ordered a new VW Tiguan today, can anybody confirm the engine run in time before i am able to tow. The salesman told me that there was no need for any run in time and i would be able to tow immediately as VW run all of their engines on a rolling road and redo the oil before they are sold...

We have a 2007 Bailey Ranger which will shortly be having some bodywork damage repaired by a mobile technician. Does anybody know where I can source some replacement stickers for the side of the van? Do I need to contact Bailey direct?

Your right, i find that some drivers just dont like being overtaken by a caravan, it must be a pride thing, its so frustrating when you move out to overtake a car in lane 1, get past move back into lane 1 only to be overtaken by the car you have just passed, who then pulls in and returns to the...

I am after any advice on the best way to repair some small dents and scratches on my caravan. To cut a long story short I did not take into account the sideways movement of the van when putting on a single levelling ramp and it scrapped along a metal water tap. The damage is 4 or 5 dents and...

Your right with your directions Andrew, down the one way and entrance on your right just before the car park. From memory, we stayed at Braithwaite October 2007, the toilets/showers were the usual high standard. Our only niggle about the site is it feels cramped for a CC site, pitches feel...
