You have had some great advice - I do hope you will GO FOR IT! I know the feeling about entering your details online - but I suspect it would be worth talking to a person in the C & CC. I was taken to France with a caravan first when I was 7 years old. I wish I had the picture but I will...

I am wondering if anyone can tell me who checks dogs LEAVING England. I may have to take a puppy to France in the near future and it seems there is conflicting advice. The pup would be remaining in France (with my brother) and if it is a long drawn out process to get it the required paperwork...

I passed that site last year when visiting the wonderful Shetland Isles - it is well worth the trip. I found it easier to go via the Orkneys though not quite so long at sea! I didn't stay on that site as it wasn't listed in anything I found - but the two sites I stayed at were pretty...

Hi Leanne - I am a Bailey Fan and wish I hadn't parted with the Ranger for the current Abbey. I kind of fell for the Bailey Orion at the weekend show put on by the Dealership. I had so little trouble with the Ranger - and so many silly little things with the Abbey. Scarily the latest was a...

Thanks MarkT Ireland was a doddle except for the ferry arriving in Dublin at the height of rush hour - it was a bit of a nightmare trying to find a patch of green for the dogs! Mind you the roads weren't brilliant especially up the West Coast - even on the main roads there wasn't room to meet...

Jungle Formula is great - there are several products including a plug-in one - (mine didn't seem to work but the idea is good!) I found Bog Myrtle candles in the Outer Hebrides and that is great. It is rumoured that Midges are bred and trained in the Outer Hebrides and then dispatched to the...

I would be really interested to know if the Scottish Accident with caravan had anything to do with winds. The worst I remember was en route to the Outer Hebrides a couple of years ago - I had left a lovely campsite on the Moray Firth in reasonable weather when I got a message from the ferry...

Hey well done you! Sprites are great - I have had an alpine and a couple of old muskateers too. Its only in the last couple of years that a legacy from my father has had me looking a little upmarket. I remember gas lights too - and the fiddly nuisance of changing the whotsits! Mantle? In...

Hi - just found this site - so Newbie to that - not new to caravans though. First trip was aged 7 when we borrowed a van from neighbours and shipped it to France in the days when they loaded everything with cranes! Now I am single again with grown children who were brought up with caravan...

Hi - I am newbie too and will introduce myself later. Only thing I can suggest is that you double check that you have a wheelbrace that fits your caravan wheels - and any other tool that may differ. Many years ago we travelled to Germany with a new Landrover and found the wheelbrace supplied...
