After spending the night in a nice new service area car park ( My daughter said it would be a dream parked for the night next to a Maccies! 
) we made the short drive to Kristiansand to catch the 9am ferry to Hirtshals Denmark..half full/empty!
All the quality vans in last..apart from one ringer, four letters beginning with F!

I've been riding through this area for years, it's nice to see it been looked after.
£29 per night. Comes with pool or river to cool down in. Does cost significantly more to get here though
We're in Blue Anchor in Somerset. Quite remote but there's a pool, playground, beach and steam train, so the kids are happy. There's a decent enough little pub too which is always a bonus!
First time putting the awning up too which went fairly well considering the gail force wind, in no small part thanks to the excellent written instructions by @Pete C

Bav, I thought a bit steep - but factor in it would cost the 2 of us £15 to go to a pool each day it does not feel so bad.
Actually, Paul, on the subject of steep prices, I have an embarrassing admission to make...
I've just rearranged a 2-night trip to a small, coastal campsite in Rhiw, Wales. Originally booked for last June, the trip got postponed twice - once due to an amber thunderstorm warning and a second time due to having a problem with my van fridge. I've just reviewed my original booking confirmation and realised that I paid £40 per night to stay at a site that offers very basic and meagre facilities, no EHU, no hard-standings, and certainly no swimming pool - in fact, its only redeeming quality is its proximity to, and fabulous views of, Hell's Mouth.
And I had the temerity to imply that you were paying over the odds!
Another redeeming feature seems to be flexible bookings!Actually, Paul, on the subject of steep prices, I have an embarrassing admission to make...

This is very true - the guy has been very accommodating throughout. In fact, when we first postponed, I initially asked to cancel (with no expectation of a refund) and he was the one that suggested I simply postpone.
Nice of them to allow you to re-arrange Bav, £40 for that view is good value
I must have thought that at the time - hopefully I'll still think that when we get there.
Yes, Surus certainly wasn't a cuddly soft sort of heffalump was he!

Well after an absolutely stunning drive along the route Napoleon which was just breathtaking and I recommended everyone gets there van over to France and drive this route to Gorge du Verdon. Without the doubt the best drive I have ever done.
The plan was to try and get to chamonix but gave up and just googled the nearest campsite just the other side of Grenoblee. Literally us and one other camper on the whole site. Looks like they've had lots of rain in this region has all the roads and pitches are water logged. Only a one nighter and will be moving on first thing but this is the first significant rain we've seen in the last 14 days.

Thank True Romance - fancy France but my navigating is poor - guess that is the beauty of a van - lost and just pitch up - what can go wrong!Camping dans les Gorges du Verdon en bord de rivière - Huttopia

How on Earth did that happen? 
True, but I'm no Hannibal.
