Joys of Caravanning

i was born in London , in 1945 , moved to Farnborough Hampshire in 1971 , and now living in Swansea South Wales for the last 10 years , i am married to my wife Jill i have a son and 2 daughters , and 7 grand children and 2 great grand children who live in Australia , we have been to OZZ twice to see them , i would love to live there permanantly , but at 67 we are classed as too old , i love caravanning , we do spend over 80 nights a year away , i love fishing and going for walks with my wife and friends , my wife Jill loves doing crosswords , the furthest we have been in the Van is down to Vilanova in spain , we used to spend a month there , and on the way back we used to spend a few weeks with my wifes cousin who lives in Carlucet in the Dordogne region , but the last 2 years we havent done that because of the trips to OZZ , we also like to get our fold up bikes out and go for a ride if its warm , we cant stand the cold ,

Motorhomer with lots of experience but not much in Germany.  Looking forward to getting to know more of what seems to be a lovely country.

Me and Val own a Timberland Endeavour Motorhome, we Have travelled the full length of the UK.... Lands End to John O' Groats, Shetland (& Yell & Unst), Orkney (& Hoy), Mull and all round the country.

In 2010 I travelled to Nordkapp in Norway to see the midnight sun and acheived an ambition of crossing the Artic Circle. A 4'996 miles round trip in 3 weeks. The Van was a dream to drive and it was the first time i'd driven abroad (which was one of the reasons i wen't alone, that and Val don't like the cold!!). Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland & Norway were great!! (the Russian border was a bit scary though) that wetted my appitite for European touring.

we just got back from 4 weeks in France (Feb-March 2011) we got down as far as Hondarribia in Spain And Visited Pamplona, it was ok but we wern't that impressed to be honest.... with the exception of Mont-Saint-Michel that was awsome, one of the best places i've seen.

we are going to Holland, Germany & Austria (May-June 2011) so looking forward to this trip

Now retired and recently back into caravanning after a twenty odd year break.
We bought  a new two berth Sterling Elite this year and have been out in it six times including two weeks in France. We like to go to places where there is relatively easy cycling and good scenery, ie canal or riverside cycle paths.

We are a retired couple who live near Blackpool. We have been caravanning for nearly 30 years and love the outdoor life.

Been caravanning for many years throughout the UK. Finally reached my goal in purchasing a brand new caravan this year and 'christened' it with a trip to Austria, another first! My partner, Mrs Miggins (real name Linda) and I are now busy planning our next trip abroad. 

Hi both Joy  and I are now retired, we recently purchaed a  caravan with the view of taking and travelling  alot more in and around europe.
