Caravan Club prices question

That's what some of us like, Malcolm - and in a caravan with all the windows and doors open, the fly screens down, and living outside under the shade of the trees or awning, you can keep cool.  When it's been really hot we've been known to sleep outside, under a mosquito net hung from our awning poles - watching the moon and the stars and listening to the owls - lovely!  I'd rather than than closetted indoors because of the incessant rain.

But again, it's down to choice - those who like heat and sun and freedom go south - those who prefer different things stay at home.

The problem is the extreme heat that goes with it! 

do we have to pay extra for a bit of sun, here in Brighton, M?

certainly dull (and windy) today.....

are you up in the top corner?

Write your comments here...I remember days last summer here in UK, Valda, when it got too hot and we had to sit inside the caravan with the air-conditioning on.

Write your comments here...We're on pitch 130, BB. I know what you mean. We took the awning down in the gusts of wind, ready for tomorrow's departure to Gatwick.

I have never really understood why people head off to really hot places in mid summer, presumably because it is the only time (school holidays) that they can get away.

Sitting on a beach or by a pool is not our idea of a holiday, we prefer to get out and about and see new things.

We like it warm, but not too hot, we like  sun but some shade too.  We find heading south on holiday late April-mid June, and September-October is a good compromise as it is usually pleasantly warm then.

UK weather can be very varied and unreliable, so we generally head abroad for at least one of our  trips each year.

yep, train's good...

another thing thats cheaper over there

...Not for me it isnt but still cheaper "over there" than most other people

Great idea of the mozzie net Valda must remember to take ours this year.

We are a bit like you nowadays. The only time we have spent holidays in the heat of summer was when the children were little and all they wanted to do was play on the beach and in the sea. Since they grew up we have spent holidays in the shoulder seasons, much better weather, not crowded or over priced. I cannot understand people going to France  in July/August and then complaining that its too hot, of course its hot, its summer.

Good grief; I can't think of anything I would rather do less. But as you say, after espousing your way of doing things, each to their own.

I'm with KjellNN in all respects of weather and what to do on holiday.
