Essex newbie

Hi Gingergeek75, welcome to CT. Not any CC sites in Essex, but there are quite a few good CLs. As you have kids you may also like to consider Rallying, a great way to make friends.

Hello and welcome.  As has already been said no CC or C&CC sites in Essex.  However there are CL's and a couple of commercial sites.

First trip out I'd say stay close to home, in case you have forgotten something, not far to go to retrieve .  Depending on your children's ages and likes I'm sure you'll find something suitable.

Don't be tempted to buy too much too soon, take things from home and see what equipment your need - we have all got a store/stash of what looked like 'wows, great and useful' items that turned out not to be .

Ask about anything you're not sure about, there's lots of very knowledgable people on here who'll be happy to give pointers.  You'll probably get several different answers, showing there's no one way to go

You may find a search on ukcampsite.co.uk could help find somewhere.  Lots of various other useful info on here.  Good to see you’ve posted a picture.  Hope you all enjoy your time away.

Welcome  GG75,  the  CC  &  CT  are  both  full  of  Cheese 

Lovers --  probably  the  best  things  to  be  found  at  The 

N E C  caravan  shows  are  the  stalls  run  by  Snowdonia 

Cheese,  with  which  I  have  no  business  connection,  just 

a  liking  for  their  product  .  But  don't  over-load  your 

Tranny  with  cheese,  it's  definitely  weighty  stuff,  or  so  my

dietician  insists   !!

....you just beat me to the Snowdonia Cheese advert, Brian.

Best wishes

P.S.  I don't seem to be able to see your picture. 

Interesting, I can no longer see the picture only click to view larger picture.

Really odd - 8.44am 17th Jan 2017 - picture is back again  white van taken from driver's side - 1 window with net curtains behind driver's door - decals on the side.

Welcome to CT and the wonderful world of vanning. 

(Photo missing for me too, another blip on the new web site?)

Welcome from me too GG75, I hope you enjoy touring in your new van. Please keep us informed of your progress.

Unfortunately the photograph is not available to me on my browser so I can't admire your outfit. 

Checked again picture not there - clicked on refresh button - picture appeared OK.
