    Stolen Caravan

    Last year the scumbags tried to steal our 4x4 Izuzu Trooper the night before we were due to leave on 2 weeks holiday with the caravan. They did not get away with it, but did loads of damage. Getting parts for a Trooper at short notice was a nightmare but eventually found a guy with an old...

    OK, I know this sounds petty..no pun intended....

    I think you guys are all missing the point, why shoot the poor cat??? it appears to me its the owners that are causing the problem but no one has yet suggested shooting them. As a cat lover I have found some of the posts to this topic disturbing but have hoped that it was mostly all said in...

    Westbrook Park near Ludlow

    I live very close to Westbrook Park, and I believe you will enjoy your stay very much. Its got a very handy pub within a short walk, and I am told the food is good there. In Brimfield , the next village, you could try the Roebuck if you want something a little more upmarket. I would recommend...

    KILN PARK, TENBY

    Hi Iain, We have been to Kiln Park many times over the years, and yes it does get a bit soggy when its rained heavily. If you have booked one of the fully serviced pitches its one of the best places to be pitched but even some of those pitches can hold the water in places. I would think by...

    Attempted theft - worst nightmare

    We had our caravan all packed up to go, Izuzu Trooper filled with diesel parked alongside on the Friday night before we were due to go on a two week holiday in Dorset. When we got up at 4.30am on the Saturday morning we found out that some swine had tried to steal the Trooper. The door lock...

    Looking for a site in Tenby area ??

    went to Rowston Caravan site at Whitsun as a cheaper alternative to Kiln Park and would definitely use it again. So quiet at night despite being very full. Only downside was 20p charge for shower tokens. That is very penny pinching in my opinion.

    dog death

    That was a beautiful poem you included on here. It has left me with tears in my eyes. I had to have my lovely old horse put down in April this year. He was 35 years old and his heart was still going strong but his body was giving out. I don't have the comfort of a grave to visit as you can...

    Controversial Topic

    I think what really upsets people is the sheer weight of numbers of immigrants in such a short space of time. Its not that they are black, coloured or eastern european or whatever else, its just the overwhelming quantity of people coming to live on our overpopulated island all demanding changes...

    FUEL PRICES V SELLING CARAVAN

    Yes, its becoming horrendously expensive to holiday in a touring caravan but have you considered the cost of the alternatives? WE can take a two week holiday in Devon or Dorset in our tourer for less than the cost of one week in a Static caravan, and thats including the extra fuel cost for...

    Wild Duck - Haven site nr Yarmouth

    We went to Wild Duck last year and were not very impressed with the touring area. The pitches are a bit haphazardly set out under the trees . We were not happy with our pitch but chap on quadbike had scooted quickly off before we could ask if there were any better pitches. Turned out a good...

    Caravan sites in Dorset ?

    You might like Durdle Dor Holiday park. Its in a beautiful countryside location, with walks across the cliff tops to the sea and down to Lulworth cove. Not far from Weymouth either. It has a website if you try a search on the Internet. There is a small club house on site which does great...

    Noisy Tents

    Stayed at Durdle Door campsite for first two weeks of August. Lovely campsite in a wonderful setting but had at least 3 nights sleep ruined by large groups of people sat outside their tents socialising into the early hours. I saw one guy marching over to the party with gallon containers of...
