When does your season end

[Deejuk]

This year has been a mixed year weather wise but we've managed to get away 5 or 6 times for a few days or up to a week. As we are both working time is important and only have so many holidays.

Given that I love going away for a couple of nights at a time and that I am loving being away in the old caravan I was wondering when everyone else puts away the caravan for winter? Or do some keep going all year round?

All year. Next time out is November. Then will go somewhere in January. Maybe for new year. As we don’t have to book leave from work anymore, winter travel tends to more spontaneous.

We would normally, be out all year round, but this year has been full of hospital visits for myself and as Mrs H doesn't tow anymore, we have been stuck at home.
Our season will start after October when I get my eye laser cleaned and new glasses. No reason, not to get out just stay away from windy pitches.

Caravan lives alongside the house, fully equipped apart from perishables, so ready to go at about 30minutes notice any time of the year.
We quite like going away in the winter, looking out of a window first thing in the morning and seeing hoar frost on the trees is lovely.

We used our all year, and particularly enjoyed taking grand kids away at New Year too.

SEASON END??
Don't be daft!!

Use your caravan how and when you want. It's not dependant on what other chose to do. Don't follow the crowd be independent.

Watch out for slippy steps first thing in the morning if it's Icy or been snowing.I didn't but do now 🙂

October half term, after that it’s tucked up until the following Easter (but occasionally February half term).

All year,I especially like a nice,clear,frosty morning. Don’t like damp dismissal weather,not good for morale.

 

[Buckman]

We used to go out all year, but now sadly age and medical issues are against us.

 

[Dustydog]

All year normally. New shoulder in October means we won’t be out again until Spring

 

[Andy Norfolk]

We don't generally use the caravan from October to March. I like to sit outside with some sunshine. We could easily do this at home but don't very often, we just get caught up doing other things. But I agree with the comments you should use your caravan in what ever way works for you. Try some winter trips and see how they go.

Hope the shoulder op goes well. Did you defer it until Autumn or was it just delayed because of backlogs. Either way it’s given you a good summer touring.

Thanks Clive. Was offered March but deferred it by choice. Recovery time is quite long so decided not to mess up our travels this year. Very good at the Bath Clinic.

end of October really, don't like setting up in the dark and don't see the point of just doing a Saturday night.
As my OH is a teacher we don't get to choose which weeks we can go away.

Same as my wife, it's a career with some benefits but being tied to school holidays isn't one of them!

 

[Hutch]

Being retired has it's benefits, but hospital appointments seem to get in the way of getting away.

 

[Beachball]

When we had our caravan we use April - November like been away bonfire weekend but now in the past 22 weeks had a problem with my left leg ankle been at doctors for new dressings . My right leg is infected been on a week of antibiotics, got more appointments for dressings and tissue clinic at the hospital .

If you have the time , a two hour boat trip with Serenity boat trips around the Farne Islands is well worth it. Enjoy!

And when you come ashore fish and chips in Seahouses Neptune or Lewis’s.

Dusty D, can you remember if they allowed dogs on the boat at all. Probably not.

Trips where they don’t land on any of the islands dogs were allowed. Landing trips ,no dogs,
Do check though in case anything has changed

Thanks. That could change plans for sight seeing. For the better.
