Information please. I am looking to purchase a HUWAEI mobile wifi box for our planned summer visit to France and Spain. I know very little about these things other then we used one during a holiday recently in South Africa. It seemed quite simple. The person we rented the apartment lent us the...

Hi PaulT We are planning to tour Portugal next spring. Which site did you use with the large pitches please ? Many thanks

Just return from a 10 week trip to Italy, On the way back we stayed for 3 nights at TCS Camping Lugano on the north shore of the lake. I was amazed when I went to pay the bill on departure. Total cost for 3 nights when converted to sterling.£148.50. This for a standard pitch with electric. They...

We will be traveling through Switzerland next month on our way to Naples with the caravan via the St Gotthard tunnel. Is it easy enough to park up before entering the tunnel inn order to buy the 2 vignettes that I will need to drive on the Swiss motorways ? Could I buy them somewhere before I...

Reasons for avoiding the pub across the road. Only used it once and it was 3 years ago. The food wasn't very good and the pub wasn't very clean. Reason's enough. Tend to use the New Inn at Etchinghall and the Rose and Crown at Elham. Both about 10 mins drive away and both in a different league.

We have used Black Horse 5 times before taking morning trains on Eurotunnel over the last 3 years. Never had a problem. Well kept site with large pitches, even on the overnight ones. I would avoid the pub across the road if your eating out in the evening, far better places around. Fish and Chip...

Hi All Looking for a new 2 ring portable gas stove. I have a CADAC one at the moment but to be honest it lacks a bit of omph. It takes ages to bring anything to the boil on either ring and has very little control on the on off controls. Any suggestions to look out for at the NEC ? Thanks PETERA
