hi just a quick question,my wife and i have had out caravan about two years now but dont really get out enough during the year, normaly its two or three times a year (which is not enough as my son and i really enjoy it hes 4 )

so here's the question we live in Redcar and wonderd if anyone could recomend some sites that we could go to just for the weekends that are not to far away ie: 20 to 50 miles or there abouts

i look forward to hearing from u all

We have 4 and 5 yo girls and find the rallies with the local CC centre very good - we all have new friends that we see regularly, very cheap and they really do find some excellent sites/events.

Can't wait for the next one!

You could look at sites here, or also from this site (if you have Autoroute) you could download the pushpins.

Hi Alan, we live near Peterlee and some of our favourite places nearby are:-

Hargill House at Richmond

Lower Wensleydale at Leyburn

River Breamish at Powburn

Nunnykirk near Morpeth.

Some of these may be outside your 50miles but they are all easily reachable on a Friday night.

Alan,

Why limit yourself to 50ish miles? if you can access any decent dual carriage way or motorway fairly close to home, then put your limit as 3 hours travelling, widens your horizons considerably to 105 or 120 miles (assuming 35 to 40 mph as an average speed when towing).
