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.

ValDa - always thought you were from Yorkshire.

I am, but mischievously when someone mentioned they couldn't amend their location, or remove it altogether, I thought I would try to alter mine! Anglesey was an easy choice (near the top of the list) so Anglesey it was!

I still can't amend my location. The trouble is we live in N.Warwickshire (our local authority), but our postal address is Staffs. When I change my location to Warwickshire, it sticks for about 10 minutes and then bounces back to Staffs. I'll try it again though, in case IT have now amended it. Yours seems to have worked!

Thanks for replying ValDa. Apologies for going off topic.

For DSB Wondering could it be as ValDa is not showing as a member on her avatar that she is missing from CC’s database & therefore able to amend her details

It may be something like that N.

My guess is that it's to do with the postal address. I need to keep my postal address as Staffordshire, but I am unable to keep my postal address as one thing but change just the bit that says caravanner from. ...etc. This therefore begs the question: Why are we given the option if we can't make the postal address and the 'caravanner from....' address different?

Welcome, there are several who have and still do tour Scandinavia (I am not one of them though) Repost in the Overseas section and you should get a response

Thanks, David.

Done but under 'Baltic States' which is the key countries that I would welcome comments on. The rest of Scandinavia I suspect is relatively straight forward.
