We are off to a favourite spot on the coast for Coronation weekend (might be chilly but never mind).

Then I fancy the Yorkshire Dales (with a visit to the Calder Valley) and in to the Lakes.

Wow @NotTooOldPaul, that sounds brilliant 😄.

I've got a one camping trip booked in Yorkshire, and quite fancy booking another somewhere.

NotTooOldPaul · 26/02/2023 13:33

@LandlubbingKraken there are advantages of being retired and having a caravan.

Slimjimtobe · 26/02/2023 13:34

I guessed probably retired + campervan / similar! Lucky duck. Have you visited Arran?

NotTooOldPaul · 26/02/2023 18:38

@LandlubbingKraken We have been to Arran a few times but we have not taken our caravan there yet. We have talked about doing so and migh go next year. It is lovely island

We bought a campervan this time last year. We went away several times, but due to caring commitments we haven't been far or for longer than 3 nights. We have booked our first week-long trip for this summer, going to three different sites: the Peak District on the way to the Lake District, then on the way back stopping outside Chester.

Plus a couple of long weekends on the South coast and a couple of festivals.

The first weekend away is planned for the Easter weekend. Hopefully it won't be freezing.

RhubarbCrumbled · 04/03/2023 06:51

It's ages since I've been on this part of the site! Apart from summer holidays we've done very little camping the last three years. We've also now got the (very old) campervan working so we'll be taking him out lots. I'm hoping this year will be different....
So far:
Coronation weekend - Suffolk coast
Late May - Cornwall
August - Loire

We've got a tent holiday booked for the summer, 5 nights in the mosel valley then 4 nights in the Netherlands.

I’m working the way through my itinerary for Northern Germany. Ferry to Hook of Holland (with Camping & Caravanning deal) then across from there. Just booked Sylt & Rügen. Have an Airbnb for Hamburg though.

I have a Microcamper conversion.

Also doing wristbanding at Isle of Wight Festival in return for my porch and entry.

MMAMPWGHAP · 20/03/2023 16:11

topofbighill · 22/03/2023 19:25

Just bought a touring caravan but still feel like a camper. Will still be getting the tent out, my camping days aren't over yet!

Just been to Bolton by Bowland, Lancashire. An hour away from home. Lovely place.

Rest of year

West Lakes - Ravenglass
York
Glenmore -Scotland
Pooley Bridge - Lakes
Anglesey - north coast
Somerset - not booked yet

Walesby Forest first weekend in April.

DD is looking forward to using her new tent for the first time! (Her request for her 10th birthday... her sister got one a couple of years ago)

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 23/03/2023 09:24

A few weekends in our new to us motorhome, nothing more than a couple of hours from home in some CCC sites. We don't have the A/L this year for anything longer, as things were planned before we bought it.

I am at the very early stages of planning Scotland for next year (not sure where yet, lots of possibilities) and also possibly some time in in France/Spain next year as well.

Keswick next week
Grizedale in June for a festival
Fort William in August for the dh mtb champs 😀
