Just left Hawes site today wondered if some of the Calis were on here
Great site except for the cows mooing all night

Yes TBH I found the owls louder, but quite nice at the same time!

I got a lot of stick on the C&MH club site for leaving a review mentioning the noise from the cows, with that, the noise of the farmers dogs, the the smell of the cow s**t, the flies and the daytime constant ring of club hammers on rock pegs it wasn't the most relaxing of stays - it was a baking hot August bank holiday so the place was rammed. A pitch further from the cowshed would have been far better & the location was perfect as was the dog exercise field.

I have been a couple of times, but December and March, so no flies!, further away from the farm always a must, assuming there is a pitch.
I would tend to avoid sites in July and August, like to avoid the heat and school holidays.

Have you got some sort of covering on your table?

Yes had them from Pixers. Covered the main table as well. Added a bit of colour to the van. Really easy to stick on.

Spent a superb afternoon walking round a good part of Bedgebury Pinetum, Goudhurst, Kent. It’s 320 acres so plenty more to see next time. Highly recommend it. I’ve driven past it many times in the last 35 years and never visited till today.

Near Sillon de Talbert in Bretagne. We somehow got this very appropriate spot.

Slapestone Villa, a Caravan and Motorhome Club CL near Penrith, right next to Rheged Visitor Centre. Lovely site and lovely owner. Bit of noise from the nearby A66, but a brilliant spot heading into the Lakes from the North.

All the stars aligned and the whole family ended up being away for a couple days yesterday and today (for different reasons but all on the same days). So I just took the van and went for a sleepover myself at Laytown beach (County Meath). Then working from there today.

Roadvale in Queensland Australia… this place is a place we love returning to in the Cali…

I love having the Cali all to myself and always try to get away if I am home alone. Looks a great spot for some me time.

Just me and the dog at the Dalesbridge campsite in the Yorkshire Dales at the weekend (a favourite of Yorkshire Poptop from YouTube).

@Mehdime Have you swapped the bulbs to LEDs above the kitchen? They seem very bright.

Nope - that’s the factory-fitted lights. They are really bright indeed. But I imagine iPhone picture is also not helping.

After not getting away a couple of weeks back we decided on a last minute break to Monkton Wyld in Charmouth.
Lovely quiet site, food vans nightly if you want them, good size pitches and very friendly staff.
It’s a learning curve but so far so good!!

Ballyhornan beach near Downpatrick. Having great weather so far.

Urban Gardens at Ypres.
Small and clean site, incredibly convenient for the centre of town.
