Where are you caravanning this year?

[Rosscow]

So, this is our first year of being fully fledged caravanner's!

We'll be going somewhere nice and local for our first night or two away over the Easter weekend, destination to be confirmed.

I have however booked our main summer holiday, Devon and Cornwall in late July early August.

Staying at the C&CC site at Slapton Sands for 8 nights then 3 nights at Compton Park, Callington.

I'm sure there will be several weekends in between and something in the October half term as well.

Looking forward to it - our 2 girls (1 and 4 years old) are mega excited!

Sounds good!!

Forgot to add - I need to do my B+E test before our long trip to Devon/Cornwall....

[Rosscow]

Thanks for the heads up!

I will try and read that, thanks

Right, first 2 night trip planned for next weekend just keeping it local (is 3 miles away close enough in case disaster strikes?! )

Going to the Fairlight Wood CC site. http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/caravanclubapps/appli...

Have also booked up a 3 night stay at Longleat CC site during the October half term - the kids will love that. http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/caravanclubapps/appli...

3 miles ! I though I was playing it safe at 20 miles.
At 3 miles my wife would be going home to use the loo and shower... seriously...

Anyway, doesn't matter 3 miles or 300 miles, my 5 year old loves it, and that is all that matters.

Scarborough CC site (20 miles) this weekend.

Then a week'n bit at Golden Square, Helmsley, North Yorkshire

Mallorca in July (not in Bradley "Wiggins" the caravan I hasten to add)

Another week at Grange over Sands CC site in August.

Just pondering if we can fit a week in Brittany in as well (pennies permitting)

I know, at least we won't have any 'are we there yet?' comments from the eldest (who is 4 and a half)

Can't wait to try out the new Cadac BBQ

Fairlight wood was the first site we went to when we got our caravan (last year), although it is further than 3 miles for us. Very nice site and the warden was friendly and helped me reverse the caravan onto the pitch as it was the first time doing so.
You should enjoy it there.

Yeah, we know it quite well anyway as we are both local to the village and walk the dog there a lot!

[Rosscow]

Maiden voyage tonight, all of about 3 miles!!

Wish us luck

Had a good 2 nights at Fairlight Wood CC site, a very nice small site. Right amongst the trees, it was lovely watching the greater spotted woodpecker not 15' from our caravan every night - must have been one of his favourite trees! Lots of other bird life as well.

Kids slept really well - that was a big relief! Everything went pretty much to plan

[Rosscow]

Well.... we're off to Devon on Thursday bright and early!

Can't wait!
