well congratulations Greeni.
You will soon find that caravanning is an excellent way to get cheap holidays out of an expensive hobby ! And I'm very excited at the moment cos we've just booked our two week August break in Malvern, at the C Club's Blackmore site in Hanley Swan. It is IMHO the finest site in Christendom and Malvern is a lovely place. Dunno what it is about it. Maybe its the Ayres Rock (uhuru?) thing - a bunch of hills plonked in the middle of a flat landscape but we go there every 2 years or so. Can't wait Smile

I keep meaning to venture to Malvern, but never seem to get around to it. We've just booked onto the CC site in the Sandringham estate (Norfolk) for the end of August. Stopping off near Boston Lincolnshire for a coule of nights en route, as thats where I used to holiday as a kid.

Cheers Rossy and DJ
We got the caravan as a means to carry on with our hobbies, even if the weather is inclement. We will use it all seasons, all weather, so we can be outdoors more.....the recent weather curbed a camping trip, I don't like not being able to do what I want Mr. Green
I like the Malverns too. Beautiful part of Britain Cool
We've had one of these, after seeing them at the Airstream place....

Toilet isn't the best though!

Mr. Green

Nice van. My mate has one of those, and he loves it. I bet it looks a great outfit when hitched to a Defender. Photos required Thumbs Up

My mate tows his with his Mini, so I guess you will have to clean your mirrors as you will be constantly checking that the van is still behind you Mr. Green

True Mr. Green

Can you get awnings for those vans, to give more living space?

Yeah you can, it does have one, plus the Foxwing and the Oztent, it'll be a mini city.
