Hello All

[Mands1]

Hi, Thought i would join your forum and come and say hello.

We are new to touring but had 2 enjoyable weekends away.

We had an 5 berth avondale perle, spent the weekend in that and found it to small.

We now have a 6 berth hobby 650 and its brilliant much better.

We are looking to book somewhere over the bank holiday weekend, somewhere with plenty for the kids to do, any tips would be grateful.

Look forward to getting to know you.

Amanda.

welcome aboard what part of the country are you looking to go to.

Hi, We are in cheshire looking to travel about 150 miles, we did the east coast 2 weekends on the row skegness and cleethorpes, so somewhere different this time.

Thanks.

Given where you are I would have thought somewhere on the North Wales coast maybe,if you like big buzzly sites there is the Haven site at Prestatin not cheap not my cup of tea but each to theie own.Or maybe sites around Barmouth area.

 

[Mands1]

Thanks for your suggestion i will look it to some site barmouth area or near on that coast.

 

[ThePlotter]

OK I hope you find what you are looking for there are many sites that may fit the bill one for instance (which I have not used) is just down the road from me and that is Drayton Manor Park (try google)but there are literally dozens but its all a matter of personal preference and after 30 years doing this you win some and you lose some but overall its great!

PS,once you get into it try the real buzz and take the van over the water to France then you will see what caravanning is all about.

Thanks to you both.

We have been talking about taking the caravan to france, but we will get used to it in the uk for a while first.

But its all good fun.

We have been caravaners for just over 2 months now! LOL. Have been out a couple of times and are going to Devon in 3 weeks time. So fed up with the weather we are off to france for a week in september! Plotter knows loads about France caravaning and he will give you loads of help. He did with us. Regards Diane
