[Juppster11]

yep... i do quite a few shows as they are a good cheap weekends away with my family and mates in there buses and i do as much "proper" camping as i can, not long came back from a week in the Isle of Wight (not dub island) and while i was out there met a few fellers from this site. Off to Stratford Upon Avon with a few Hot-roders next weekend... should be fun!

 

[Clem]

Camped at Henlow Bridge (North Hertfordshire/Bedford borders) this weekend nice site esp if you like fishing (not for me although I could see how you could get into it)
Very clean tidy site, allows pit fires and loads and loads of space for the kids to play, will return

hi oor Wullie - we are going Calais - Champagne - Languedoc - Dordogne - les Landes - Le Havre - roughly in that order! on the hunt for ancient sweet chestnut trees and warm lakes/river swimming...our ideal swimming in the past decade can be summed up as the river Aare in Berne (bungee surfing!!) and lake Annecy - in autumn, the summer heat in the water is still there and you can spend all day in the water!! and most of the touroids have long gone!! this autumn we are looking for somewhere to match those idyllic situations - any suggestions?

yep, vans are for living and working in....best adaptation of my van to modern life that I've done is to convert it to lpg!! runs so much sweeter and cleaner and of course cheaper...
cheers
