Hello Everyone,

Although we have been caravanning on and off since 1984 - we had a break for 8 years while I worked abroad - and belonged to the CC for the last 2 years, this is the first time that I have used the Club Together so I thought we ought to introduce ourselves. We (Bob & Mary) have been retired for just over 2.5 years now. We live in Wiltshire and tow a 2006 'left-hand drive' Fendt (long story) with a 14 reg Santa Fe. This is our 5th caravan and we have changed each one according to family needs. As it is just the 2 of us now, the fixed bed Fendt is ideal for us - I was working in Germany when we bought it. We have travelled extensively in Europe, stored in France while abroad and camped a little in UK. We are looking forward to slightly more extended trips now I have retired.

This post has somehow not been replied to - largely because it brought up a 'page error' message, which prevented it being displayed. The only way I could get to it was by clicking on the date of the last post added. So it isn't that we aren't a friendly lot or want to welcome you, just that no-one could see your post unless, like me, they investigated further to see why no one has replied. Edited in once checked that post could now be seen: However, my adding this post seems to have corrected the problem!

Hopefully now that it can be seen again, people will start to reply and Welcome you on board.

Best wishes - and Welcome!

Hello Bob & Mary, Welcome & Best Wishes !!

Its not just the revamp of the Website that's slowed down our welcome, but lots of us have been cuddling up close & personal to Paracetamol, Lemsip etc etc. Hope you managed to circumnavigate the Holidays without joining us in that department !

Thank you very much for the welcome. I thought that it might have been the 'left hand drive' Fendt that put you off

We are not great social mediaites I am afraid - like so many, I was 40 before I had my first computer (Amstrad 1640!).

We have survived the winter so far and just starting to look at the next trip - roughly Stockholm, up a little bit, then right into Finland, Helsinki (side trip to St Petersburg), through the Baltic States and Poland, through Germany and Austria and ending up in Sicily around middle October. Sweden, Finland and the Baltic States are breaking new ground. Grateful for any suggestions although I realise this is under the wrong topic.

Many thanks,

Bob
