Just seen an advert for an up and coming program on Channel 5 called "Celebrities on 5 go motor-homing" don't know if either Club is behind this or we just have some more staff that want to make themselves look right pill****.

Since it starts with the word "celebrity" I'll give it a miss ( a bit like anything involving antanddec)! wink

Would agree with you M normally, but Lesley Joseph comes across quite well, we went to see the Strictly Tour and she is a hard working and entertaining lady....

We also like the guy who plays the Chief of Police in Death in Paradise, he's a great actor in that TV show....

The recent series in the same vein where a bunch of minor celebs were on a canal boat was quite watchable with a glass of wine in your paw.....

We will be giving it a try.....!

Hi, Tt115 you are correct it does commence on Friday. I agree it could turn out to be enjoyable if the focus is on the places they visit and difficulties the celebrities have to overcome, and not just the celebrities building up their egos. Just let's hope it's not a remake of caravaner of the year?.

The Caravan and Motorhome Club assisted the celebrities in the soon to be aired show Celebrity 5 Go Motorhoming by providing the motorhome manoeuvring training to build their confidence, showing them how to manoeuvre, carry out safety checks, provide essential maintenance and explain the motoring laws affecting motorhome drivers. The Club also arranged for them to stay at its Coed-Y-Llywn Club Site in Wales. I'm really looking forward to watching this on Friday night. smile

I thought the personalities envolved made it rather entertaining. I was also on the Gower and the Brecons just before the Bank Holiday so it made it even more watchable although what idiot takes a large motorhome down such narrow roads! I know some narrow roads are unavoidable at times but to be on tenderhooks as to what might be coming the otherway or what you might hit is not my idea of fun if it can be avoided. That's TV for you and you don't have to worry if the motorhome is not yours and you don't have to cough up for any damage to your pride and joy.

Well me and the missus were aghast.....

They flipping made it look like the perfect pastime, the sun was out, the beaches deserted, the sea glistening blue, rolling onto two front line pitches with a sea view and tasty looking BBQ's.....

For heavans sake it's not really like that.......

Show us the traffic, the rain, the fights at 12 noon for a pitch....

All that program has done has encouraged more people to go out and buy a M/H, now we will never get a booking over a bank holiday weekend.....

The Club should be ashamed of itself for such blatant encouragement of people into the sport......
