Hello and thank you for allowing us to join the club. My husband and I live in New Zealand, and are newly retired. We own a motorhome in New Zealand, and are hiring a 6m motorhome in the UK for 2 months, April to June this year.

We would love any help, tips, advice that anyone can give us, as we realise it will be different touring in your country. Just planning our itinerary now, starting in Brighton, then touring Cornwall. We will include a little Wales and Scotland in the trip, but not take the ferry to Ireland- will save than for another trip!

Cheers.

Hi all, another question.

Do you think we need to book ahead in the month of May?

Thanks

Tijger

We do have 2 May Bank Holidays at the beginning [Mon 1st] & end of the month [26th May to 4th June - approx. date of school hols]. I personally would say yes to booking certainly at these times & weekends for CC main club sites.

Hi Tiger

We always book sites ahead of our arrival. If your staying on a Caravan Club site the warden's on the site can check availability and book your next site for you.

Enjoy your visit.

Book ahead and book soon as sites start to get busy in May. Are you thinking of seeing St Ives in Cornwall? Try this site as it's in the town with nice walks too. Ayr Holiday Park this is a good spot for motorhomes.

Hello Tijger and welcome to Club Together, The Caravan Club and the UK! smile

If you want to do some sightseeing don't forget the Great Savings Guide as this has lots of offers and discounts available for members of The Club on attractions across the UK. 

As already mentioned on this discussion, May can be busy as we have the two bank holidays, so it's worth booking your pitch in advance. If you haven't already done so,download The Club's free UK Sites app as this is handy to easily search and book pitches when you are touring. 

Let us know on CT about your travels. It would be great to read about it on Your Stories section of the community.

Welcome,do try and visit the Northumberland area on the East coast splendid area with big beaches,castles and cities. Most of all enjoy. As it's been said try and book in advance the CL's have a lot to offer and at a lower cost, a lot have a local pub close by. A good internet site to try is ukcampsite.co.uk

Here you can modify your search for what you want to have on or near the site. You may want to join the National Trust for stately houses and coastal areas but it would be costly for just two months BeamishMuseum is a must Sunderland is the closest City (picture Below)

Hi thanks the Great Savings guide looks very useful.

The UK sites app doesn't download here because of my location, I will try again once we get to the UK.

If you are looking at Scotland let us know where or what interests you and I am sure we can help. The distances up here can make short visits difficult though but I would not miss Edinburgh if you can help it. The club site there has good bus connections into the city where there is plenty to do and see.
