On the move!
I have decided to move south after just over 3 years in Aberdeenshire. I'll be moving down to the south west of London area (need to find a house).

I'm looking forward to being closer to all the show areas and being back in an area where I'll be less than a 3-4 hour drive to a green lane Very Happy

I'll also be looking forward to meeting some more members Thumbs Up

P.s. Gary & Rosco good luck on the Heather alpha.

Good luck with the move but bring a trailer load of cash for your new house - property prices are crazy around here which is why many are doing the opposite to you and taking advantage by buying in areas that still haven't recovered from the recession.

Aberdeen sounds sweet to me but were aiming for Cornwall Sept 2012 all going well Thumbs Up

Cheers zag, the house prices in Aberdeen ain't much different from London believe it or not, the oil pushes the prices up. Russell

Spare a thought for those of us too young to ever afford a house, the 110 will probably be the most and last expensive thing I ever own. Average house prices around here are something like 6-8 times the combined income of me and my mrs... 2011 110 USW

Mate you need to read between the lines, just because I live in and equally exspencive area It doesn't mean i can or can not afford to buy a house there.

I'm just glad to be moving closer to home. Russell

Wasn't an accusation bud, just an observation about where I live. Hope your move goes smoothly. I'm from Yorkshire originally and wouldn't mind moving back there sometime, so I understand the call of home. Thumbs Up 2011 110 USW

Nice and quiet up here, you've got them all Laughing Sad It took me an hour to do 5 miles yesterday from Wittering so anywhere near the coast this time of year is going to be bad Mad Bleedin emmits! Mylor is still a good spot as there is nothing their unless you are into sailing, it never gets overly busy Very Happy Hoping to be down in a few weeks time Thumbs Up
