We've a couple of things to do to the van then we want to go somewhere reasonably close so we can do a weekend dry run to
Make sure we can park it
Learn how to put the awning up
Generally get into the way of doing things
Angie is going through the web looking at touring sites but I though you paid a site fee(around£10-£15 per night) and that was it
Lots of them are quoting £5-£6 per adult, £2-£3 per child and around £3-£5 for the van
Is this a rip off or is this the way it is now?
Found a Haven site charging £38 for 3 nights for a basic pitch with leccy and entertainment passes(sounds better) |

depends what you want jim we are members of the caravan club and normally use there cl network could be on a farm,an orchid behind a pub etc normally pay £10 or less for the night with leccy.
And what ang has bee seeing is the norm with alot of site price per pitch,person ,awning,dog etc all adds up in the end.
As i said jim depends what your looking for normally theres only me and paula and the dog so we generally love to get away from it all so a nice farm etc so we can go for a walk and relax basically do as little or as much as we want.
Leave all the late night drinking sessions for megameet,pitp etc |
