Hi, we are David & Anita. We made the decision late last year that we wanted to buy our first caravan (we have been campers for the last 4 years & the late night trips to the toilet block in the pouring rain started to put us off camping). We did all our research, took lots of advice, visited numerous dealerships, trudged around dozens of caravans and eventually ordered our dream caravan (a new Bailey Unicorn Vigo Black Edition) from our local dealer in February 2020. We have purchased all our accessories, joined the Caravan & Motorhome Club, were given a delivery date mid April 2020 and booked a caravan training course, a storage site and a few caravan holidays.

With Covid19 everything of course is on hold, and our main concern is staying safe, looking after family members, complying with government guidelines & doing our bit to help the NHS and local community. We are hoping that at some point later this year we might be able to collect our new caravan and resume our caravanning dream, but for now our priorities lie elsewhere. 

On the advice of numerous members of the caravanning community we did buy a Cadac (Grillo Chef 2) which we had ready for our first holiday. We intend to use the lockdown period to familarise ourselves with the Cadac, so that when we finally get to use it on a site, we will have some great recipes we can use. So for us at the moment, we are caravanning vicariously through watching YouTube videos and trying to learn from all the seasoned experts out there.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and hope to see some of you out & about later this year.
