Anyone else booked trips for 2026 yet, and where are you going?

[Up10]

Awesome stuff! but why not Nordkapp?

The straw that breaks the camels back. Much further north than we want to go and we want to spend time in Lofoten instead. I haven't been to Lands End or John O'groats either.

All these trips sound amazing! We’ve got a mini 5 day tour of the NE coming up in April, taking in Northumberland, Newcastle and Co Durham. Originally wanted to go to N Ireland but ferry is extortionate so will leave that until we can do a longer trip to justify the cost. Hoping we’ll have a nice summer to do some UK weekends too

Similar trip planned for September, till then 6 festivals, mostly folk, lined up, just shows the versatility of the cali. One includes a trip to Devon and Cornwall, having read Jamaica Inn the other year I'm really keen to go and have a look

I get that. We love the Lofoton islands, actually Norway is still our most favourite place in the world (although yet to see NZ). Enjoy!

I suspect you would probably love New Zealand. Long way to take the van. You may need to hire one!

When you go, make time to visit the southern Alpes and Fiordlands.

Happy too. But you will have to wait till August. I love hearing how others get on so hope it would provide some value to others.

Hey everyone! Just booked some trips for the next 12 months...

Bolmynydd Camping Park in North Wales for May.
Dolomites trip in June (yet to sort... still researching).
Great Langdale NT site in the Lakes for July. (We've never been able to grab a spot before! Useless)
Bryn Ednyfed Caravan Site in Anglesey for August.

This is pretty damn organised for us. Usually, we're too busy to sort anything in advance.

We got our van in 2019 and have had one thing after the other since. Been really unlucky.
2024 was particularly tough. I was so unwell I barely left the house for that entire 12 months!

I'd love to book one more trip in the UK. Where have you got planned?
Some inspiration would be fab. Thank you!

Dont laugh! Myself and wife we block book the Sun Holidays a real good selection of parks . We take the Cali and book a mix up of caravans and pitches have use of all facilities,mainly use Devon& Cornwall as we surf/bodyboard, check out Croyde/Hendra etc EHU on pitch 2 min walk from beach.

We have booked the Dieppe ferry for the beginning of may . Travelling down to south of France to Nice and around that area. Wherever the van takes us really. Nothing except ferry booked.
We are going to keep off the the toll roads as much as possible.

Yorkshire Dales, we went to Silloth House camp site, just outside Austwick, off the A65 - small independent camp site. Quirky, basic, friendly owner, lots of charm
