So who's off in your van this weekend

[HomerMarge]

We are......second trip and cannot wait.

Thought we would be brave and try a CL for our second trip, so this means I will need to overcome my fear of 'number two's' on the loo in the van! Oh well, here goes......!!

We are! Going to our favourite CS in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire. Love CL's - no probs with the loo, just make sure you give the cassette a good shake before you empty it and make sure the chamber is open before you sit down! Good luck.

HI Paul & Ruth, we're off to the lake district for a week, cant remember site name but its just south of Keswick on the Borrowdale road - one of my favourite places in the whole world!!

Enjoy your maiden voyage on the thetford!! Just make sure you pour in your pink flush fluid before the water otherwise it sometimes doesn't mix so well.

Caroline a word about Clumber park. It's a fantastic place for cycling, you'll love it! But be warned, more bikes get stolen there than probably any other site, because it's so open! This included my

I hope nobody goes off in my van this weekend. Its supposed to be securely stored!!

I'm going from Canvey to a CS at Ingbirchworth this weekend- just to have a meal at the Rose & Crown. But I heard that it is now closed. What shall I do. Are there any other decent pubs in the area?

We have been caravanning for c3 years now and we never stay anywhere other than CL's. The loo problem (No 2's!) is easily sorted if you just look for a site with a WC which is what we do, then keep you loo for emergencies only. The CL's are much more flexible in terms of leaving times from the site so no rushing around to get off before 12.

We haven't been able to get away at all this year yet, for a variation of reasons. This weekend we're cleaning the van ready to go the following week. Hoping to head for Cheddar Somerset. Anybody got any views on the area please? Places to visit etc.

Enjoy your weekend - all.

We stayed at Five Acres CC site over bank holiday and it is a fantastic clean and quiet site in a fantastic location. about 8 miles from Chard- 20 mins to Lyme Regis and approx 35 mins to Cheddar/ Wookey.

The wardens at the site are lovely people and can't do enough to help. If you aren't a member of the CC they do accept non members too.

supposed to be off to the dales but due to the high winds we`ve cancelled.might go saturday morning just for a night if winds a bit lighter.

 

[G_5063311]

We're off for Saturday night to Alderstead Heath in Redhill. We are swopping our 'van for a newer one tomorrow morning, and are going to try it out. The new 'van is a bit bigger than the old one so we hope it goes OK.

OK for those uninitiated What's a CL?

Well, 4 days of a temp of 104...(that's me not the the british weather)needles to say we did not get our long weekend away with the kids...which was a real shame...Now they are back to school, the wife is back to work and now I am stuck at home on the sick waiting to see the Doctor from hell... Hope you all enjoyed your weekends away anyway!

 

[HomerMarge]

Just got back from the doctors...signed off for a week, sun is shining....and yes kids back to school and wife back to work....******, maybe I could test the van on my own but that would be extremely sellfish I guess...;-)
