Cancellations

Same here. All we need is Bread, Milk etc loaded. Fridge emptied, Waste out and we are off. Max 30 mins. Thats what we do Off peak and just go without booking. If that site is full there are plenty of alternatives.

So there you are, KjellNN, there's your answer. Wait for a lovely winters day when the sun is shining and book on that day, hitch up and you can be sited in the place of your choice within an hour or two. No worries!

Our van is in storage 3mls ,we can be on the road in a couple of hrs,if needed

Write your comments here...Quite right. That's the way to do it. Just go for it!

We would not really think to use a site that close to home, plus as I said, impromptu trips are not possible due to OH's voluntary work.

You just need to accept that not everyone actually wants to go away in winter!

When we do go away it is always for several weeks, unless it is a special trip, so we do need to pack a bit more than bread and milk.

I'm afraid we don't all live in the sunny South Malc. Since we got back from Spain at the end of November its done nothing but rain, I think I could count on one hand the dry days we've had.  We do use the van in winter but not this winter, no joy in going away when its so miserable.

We don't leave bedding, towels etc in the van neither do we leave clothes, I'm pretty niffty but I think it would take me a few hours to be ready to go away in winter.

As much as I like caravaning, When the wind is howling I prefer to be snug in front of a roaring fire at home. Also not all of us can fund non stop caravanning and maintain the home.

We are the same. Always have the van ready inside and out but do need to load all our stuff. We keep a box full of food and there's always a odd loaf in the freezer so we can be off within a couple hours of making a decision. Did it last winter when we booked in the morning and were on site 100 mls away by early afternoon.

Write your comments here...You could always use your caravan to come and visit the sunny south in the winter, Tammygirl. Having said that, it was rather stormy yesterday! Have you thought about going to Spain in the winter rather than the Autumn? You should be able to get plenty of warm, sunny weather on the Costa del Sol at this time of year.

MM, that is not guaranteed either.  My SIL has an apartment there, she goes out there a few times a year, including Jan-Feb, but it has been cold and rainy there too at times!

I think you have to accept that everyone is different, not everybody goes out in their caravan or MH all year; one size doesn't fit all
