Stick to the motorway all the way. The raods through mid Wales, although very scenic make it hard going to make any progress with the van behind. Carreglwyd in Port Eynon in in a superb location. It is right on the beach and within spitting distance of a shop, chippy and Pub. The approach...

We have a mendip Magnum 556, a dealer special based on the Compass Corona 556. We find it very good and the fixed bunks are more than adequate, we looked at the ranger and the beds were small.

I am too old at 37 but my wife could join at 33. I didn't realise I was an old git.

I carry 4 bikes on the roof, by far the best option (have tried all the others)

We have a Dorema, and the quality seems to be very high

Our current van is ideal for us. The compass corona 556. " singles at the front or a king size double, 2 fixed bunks at the back for the kids, and a side dinette (if you want to get up earlier than er indoors and have a cuppa) that converts to bunks to bring the kids friends along.

We have our new van!! Yesterday we towed our trusty 1988 Perle Custom to the dealer in Newport and collected our brand new Mendip Magnum 556. Only realised how big it was when we pushed it back (shoe horned) into the drive. Towed like a dream all the way home, The Winterhoff hitch is great...

Take the bikes anyway, you can cycle from the Gowerton site all the way to Pembrey along the Millenium Coastal Park 98% off road.

Pembrey is accessed off J48.

Depends what you want. Two spring to mind. 1 Three Cliffs has spectacular sea views and its own beach access (bit steep), highly recommended. 2 Bank farm has spectacular sea views and has close beach access, indoor pool and club house serving food. Again highly recommended.

Pembrey is a very popular site. It is on the boundary of a huge country park, with mile and miles of trails, pitch and putt golf, train rides, adventure playground, ski slope,course fishing, toboggan run, bike hire and a 7 mile golden sand beach. Ideal for dogs, miles and miles to walk through...
