Hello Oakley, and welcome to Club and forum! Very exciting for you, lots of great advice from everyone already.

Not sure on size of your MH, or where you live, but like you, we travel with dogs, love cycling. The Club has some very good sites to make life easy for dog owners, and provide a base for some great cycling. Here are some of our favourites, there might be something you fancy:

Scotland: Yellowcraig (avoid school holidays unless you like it busy!) Short easy walk off site to some fabulous beaches and pine woodlands, close to lovely town of North Berwick (10 minute drive, 20 minute cycle ride, hour stroll along the beach), trains into Edinburgh every hour. Good cycling close by, some off road, some on roads.

Cornwall: Marazion  small all grass Site, but sandy well draining soils. Hidden away a couple of miles from Marazion, but a great base for Lands End and the Lizard. Good dog walks close to Site, a brilliant dog friendly beach called Porth Kidney that is in sight of St Ives, some good cycling, although not flat! Godrevy is another site option close to Hayle. You do need to take care in Cornwall, some lanes are narrow, but with a good map, it is a brilliant place to tour.

Cant help over much on Lakes, we don't know it that well, so will let others comment. Hope you have a lovely time!

Hi Oakley...Like you we haven't been motor homing for very long, we started by going to the big caravan/motorhome sites nearby to get the 'gist of the thing' and where there were wardens on site in case we needed them, now we prefer the cl's  (where only 5 caravans/motorhomes are allowed) some have facilities like toilets and showers, and many don't. We also have a 13yr old dog who likes to walk a short distance and mostly all have dog walks on site or within a short distance. We are planning to go to Peak District in November near to where the Tissington and Monsail (? spelling) trail is so we can go out on our bikes, maybe one for you in the future. Remember that most other Caravanners/ Motorhomers are always willing to help if you need it so don't be afraid to ask. Also my advice is don't get into the trap of having to have the best bit of kit to keep up with the Jones's as most of it you don't need Enjoy your new hobby, it's great

Hi

Thank You for all your replies, will be taking your advice on short trip to start with. Will also be looking at sites mentioned by members. Looking ahead any advice on TV & hubby looking into a solar panel. We will not be getting these items until we have tried what we have on the Motorhome.  It is great that everyone has so much advice for us newbies, as we wouldnt know where to start without you.

Hello and welcome to motorhoming and CT. A wealth of knowledge and advice on this forum.

If you are considering a solar panel there is a very long 😲 but very informative thread how to thrive without an EHU, electric hookup cable. Take the time to read, digest and ask any questions before you make any decision on solar panel and TV,  even gas supply.
