Hello people!!
The name is Mike significant other is Linda.
Have just closed the company down and retired a little early.
Have been a caravaner for hundreds of years ( 40 at least) Starting with the transfer from frame tent when it would not hold the cot.Into a spotty green and cream Sprite Alpine.
Currently at that new car (V.W.Touran) new van (Abbey Vouge GTS)and one ferry ticket stage Plus a pocket full of electronic camping cheques desperatly hoping the sustem works (ye of little faith) still I have camping card ACSI as back up and hoping the blessed football does not get in the way.
Do not quite know were we are going but the plan is in the general direction of Italy.
Oh yes We live in Norfolk, on the edge of the Thetford Forrest, are keen walkers and on and off road cyclists. so if any one wants local info you can always ask. I am not an expert but I am an enthusiastic amature. Why cant forums have a spell checker.

Hi all. The names John Lenham, (nearly the famous Beatle). Will sign all postings with initials JL to stop confusion with the other Johns. Maried with 2 grown up kids so just two of us now to do as we please. No caravan as from this weekend, managed to sell it privately so a bit of cash now to buy my next one hopefully touse in the new season. ps.Baz, already posted a message elsewhere just to ask if you lived in Leicestershire a few years ago? I think I might know you. Cheers JL
No need to get worried Mike, there should be plenty to go round, I'm an unofficial taster but still plan to inspect the bottles. As for how many, just bring what you like and what you think others might like. Hope to see you at Easter, it should be fun.
I joined this forum in November last year, been a caravanner since I was six, started 'vanning with my own family five years ago with a
Hi Baz, the reason I think that I might know you is because I noticed that you said you have a Subaru and I met a Barry at the Plassey nr. Wrexham last summer who had a Subaru and was with his wife and 2 children. Just seems a coincidence. If this is noit correct then Im still glad to meet you. Cheers. JL

Hi,
2005 Legacy Outback 3.0Rn, Buccaneer Caravel 1991, only just bought it, haven't towed yet. Just want somewhere to go for peace and quiet on the cheap (that's a laugh) and somewhere to run 10Ks and half marathons, preferably alone. Stayed in umpteen statics but last in a Tourer at 7 years old.
Place for the kids in the summer too. Keep imagining if I had spent all summer at the seaside as a kid. How cool is that.
Really looking forward to it.
