Shane & Shirley here just saying hello.

At last we have finally bought a motor home, we have both camped many times, Shirley gave up on camping many years ago but we did have a final camp together at Womad Festival in 2016.

We bought a Ci Autoroller in mid November but its gone straight into storage until March, Shirley will be taking a Motorhome Manoeuvring Course with the club on the 11th to refresh her driving a larger vehicle skills.

we are planning our first trips to Brixham, Weymouth & Tewksbury to start with, in the Summer we are starting to plan longer trips possibly to Switzerland first. Later in the year we are hoping to travel to Portugal the slow way for Christmas (similar to a blog we found on the internet) avoiding toll roads to allow us to stop off as often as we like along the way.

We would love to hear from with any tips for beginners and seasoned travellers who have taken on long trips abroad,

Welcome to Club Together. Given your desire for trips abroad it will be worth your while keeping an eye on the Overseas Sites and Touring section of the forum as what you ask is often discussed.

Hi Shane and Shirley. Welcome to Club Together from me. Great to hear from you - I bet you are really looking forward to getting out in the Motorhome. There are still many who go out in the winter months too, so when you have got used to it all perhaps you will try some out of season trips. Do let us know how you get on.
