I always come away thinking of something else to buy!

Yep, I know that feeling too......and then eventually I will have so much stuff I will have no option but to get that bigger caravan and tow car to put it all in!

Actually though this is the first trip where I actually felt I had all the immediate needs covered - I think a week of good weather and the new sun canopy I picked up helped

That won't last. There will be something else. Air awning anyone?

[Rosscow]

I'm not bothering with a large awning this year. I'm going to put up our porch awning, and then put up our Coleman Event Shelter Deluxe to give us our outside cover, much more flexible.

Would love a new TV and Satellite set up, but really try to get away from it all on holiday so am resisting!

We only use our blow up awning if we are in Autumn/Winter/Spring and staying somewhere for a few days minimum. In summer/good forecast weather we use the wind out canopy and Lillypad screens with a breathable flooring. So easy to put up and store

You're right, it won't..........and funny you should mention them - I was talking to the Mrs about them over a beer one evening as the sun was setting......

They`re great. I can have ours up in around fifteen minutes and packed away in around the same. Nice and lightweight too.

Set sail on the boat across the channel in 6 days!

[Spuffington]

We set sail on Saturday coming!

We're heading down to the Pyrennes, via a few places along the coast south of Bordeaux. A week in the mountains and then wending our way back up through France and Ferry back after two weeks.

Two thousand mile journey is almost as many miles as Harry did in the whole of last year!

Provided there is no Operation Stack, we will be at our first night stop in Kent by now

Got the van washed and polished yesterday, looking good for the trip away!

Really counting down the days now.
