@Bobby Turkalino
Well kept site.
We found there was quite a bit of noise from the next door Recreation Ground at night though.
If you like a walk; turn left from the entrance, walk all the way to the end of the road; around the bend and past the caravan and camping site. Turn right and a short walk along is the entrance to the forest.

Its a good site, road noise can be an issue but not too much.

We know the forest walk well, have got lost twice now about 10 miles later we emerged at the Churchill Arms on both occasions!

Lago di Molveno, Northern Italy ...

Vincelles near Auxerre for a few nights. It’s an excellent wine region so we will be stocking up before heading to Chalons en Champagne and then to Calais.

Back from a couple of nights in Northumberland
.. Beautiful scenery as always but a cold easterly wind (I know right? Roasting everywhere else). New awning got it's first wind out, and the windbreak it's first use of the year as well as the VW fairy lights the kids got me for Xmas.

Camping Park Garda, Limone Sul Garda, Lake Garda, damn it’s a long way from Nairn!
Wingfoiling today and enjoying the sunshine, biblical thunderstorms and rain last night, Jerba roof kept all the water out thankfully.
Was in Austria for a week and will be heading to the Dolomites on Friday. We might come home one day, not sure yet

On a side note, haven’t seen a single other UK registration since we left the port at Rotterdam!

Moved on from Molveno, to Riegsee in Bavaria, just down the road ....


Walk into Murnau for a curry ....



Walk back to the campsite ...

Brighton and it's blinking hot, first time since 1976 that we're not sat in a bus shelter huddling to keep warm.

@Trouts. I sometimes 'struggle with the price' as I firmly believe that some stuff costs more than it should simply because it's VW and / or camper related (but 'er indoors says it's just because I'm getting tight in my old age!). However, I've also got a Railsail which I've posted about on here before and IMHO it's definitely worth the asking price. I got mine as a bargain from another forum member but if I lost it today, I'd order a replacement at full price straight away.

hey Guys (and anyone else)
either of you chaps struggle with the size of the Kador on these?
just received mine and on fitting it to the van it seems the Kador is too small for my Multirail
- bizarrely though my 6-6mm Drive away fits the Multirail perfectly.
now having serious misgivings and thinking i should return it...
just wanted to gauge your experiences first. thank you
@Higgidav @Ayjay


when is 6mm not 6mm.

Mine looks more like 8mm. It fits my camper essentials rail perfectly and it the same size as the connection on my Vango awning.

A few days ago, took the opportunity to do the loop from Keswick via Lorton, Crummock Water, Buttermere, Honister, & Borrowdale, and back to Ullswater. Simply stunning!

Your post sorely tempted me to go for a quick break somewhere around Buttermere or Ullswater, but it seems all the decent sites are booked-up. So, instead, we're off to North Wales for a couple of nights here...

Campsite | Treheli Farm Caravan & Campsite | Wales

Treheli Farm Caravan & Campsite is a stunning coastal campsite on the corner of Porth Neigwl in North Wales.

www.trehelifarm.com

No electric, nothing much around, but right on the coast of Hell's Mouth, with the costal path running virtually through the site.

That's not getting lost, that's just instinct.

Plotted up at high knocke car park Dymchurch for lunch
Absolutely a scorcher of a day just been down to Dungeness and picked up a dressed crab and a dozen scallops for tea

We stayed in Dockray which was fab, but had to book it last Christmas and just noticed 2024 filling up already! Enjoy Wales!

Stayed at the C&CC site at Sandringham, last night, really big site but very quite, a few fellow T5/T6’s in residence

We store our caravan at Dersingham just up the road and go there at least twice a year. Dersingham bog is well worth a visit as is the Royal station at Wolfenden.

Excellent suggestion for Wolfenden station, thanks

Where/how do you find pubs that offer this service @twotone2? Do you use Brit Stops?
