New to caravanning- Advice needed on first outing

If you are new to towing, the Club do a towing course, and all the reports I have heard of the course are very good and positive.  Just a thought.  Reversing is the worst bit, IMHO. ☺

The worse bit is trying to get your other half to stand in a place where she can be seen & heard when you're reversing ..... 🤔

LOL.  You are absolutely right MM!    I should have said, the worst thing about reversing is actually seeing where you are reversing to.  You just have to rely on someone else at the back.

Hi sarah. Welcome, hope you enjoy your new hobby. Try Cliff Farm near to Pickering. This is a really lovely site, an ex certificated location (CL) site, that has branched out and decided to go it alone. So the standards are very high, it has excellent heated toilets and showers, all weather pitches, an honesty freezer with home produced meat, delicious ice creams, and a small laundry. The wifi is excellent and free, the prices are very good, and you will get all the help you might need from the family that run it. Pickering and Helmsley, as well as the North York Moors are close by, there is a pub within walking distance, and dog walks in Site.

Hi Takethedogalong

This looks a perfect site for our first outing, I have just emailed them to try and make a booking. Fingers crossed!!

 

the other worse bit is when the driver ignores your instructions or shouts at you because they can't hear you, "well open the windows then"

Just make sure that at the end of the day you can laugh at the things that went wrong.

 

I phone her up on hands free ..... 😉

No Cariadon - the worst is when the person directing stands where the driver can't see them. I see that often 

Glad to be of help sarah, we have used Site a few times now. There are some lovely eateries in Pickering and Helmsley not far away, including Eastgate Fish and Chip Restaurant in Pickering. Don't be afraid to ask owners for help, they are very nice. Club has some nice sites in Yorkshire as well, most are open a bit later in March. We like the Bolton Abbey Site, bit out of the way, but nice facilities, fantastic for dogs, and a couple of nice cafes close by. Enjoy yourselves!
