New caravanners - Christmas and New Year

Hi and welcome to caravaning. 

Tricky to answer your question without more info, what do you like to do, walk, eat, historical buildings etc etc?

how far do you want to travel and where is base?

cheers

Hello Ken and Lorn. Welcome to Club Together. My wife and I are spending a few days over Christmas at a CL near Looe in Cornwall. If you are prepared to travel down that far then let me know and tomorrow I will give you the phone number and you can ring the site regarding pitch availability. Have a happy adventure.

We enjoyed Edinburgh last hogmanay using the main CC site from where you can walk and catch a good bus service into the capital. Plenty to see and do. Its a busy site though and will be booked up early but if you keep checking cancellations do appear.

Look at Centre rallies.  If you like to socialise then you might find they are right for you.  You don't need to go to your local centre.  Enjoy the festive season

Hello Kenandlorn. Just a tip for Winter travelling. Remember the weather can change very quickly, so don't commit to a big none refundable deposit if you can help it. That said, Club Sites are good, no deposits are required, and you can cancel if the weather does change, so long as you do it within the rules. CLs are also usually very understanding, recognising that a long trip in thick snow may not be feasible! 

On a positive note, it is great being away over Xmas, although don't forget that a lot of places are closed. Why not take a look at the wealth of Christmas events that are on and take in some of these? We like Christmas fairs and markets, although they are held a tad before Christmas itself. Have a nice time!

Other half fancies a christmas away but I am not so keen. No problem the week after.

I am going to suggest we sit in the caravan for a few hours this coming christmas to see how it feels (it's stored next to the house) 

I think it depends where you go, how busy the place you are staying is, and what you like to do! There will be few places other than pubs/restaurants open, but if you like walking, then Christmas Day is usually quiet and very nice. Boxing Day however brings out hoards! 

Whitby and the NYMoors are lovely at Christmas, especially if your tow car can cope with snow and ice, scenery is magical. Scotland is a great place, like others have mentioned, Edinburgh is fantastic at New Year. 

Club Sites are nice at Christmas, everyone trims up. What about Ferry Meadows, not too far from East Yorks, lovely parkland to walk, easy cycle into Peterborough, railway might be open?

Hello and welcome to CT.

You might want to look at the thread "Christmas CL" in the Certified Listed section for ideas on CL's at Christmas.

I would recommend Skybarn Farm near Lincoln.

Write your comments here...A bit of walking, though not a lot as Im recovering from a fractured hip and pelvis.  Love ancient buildings, scenic areas as I've recently taken up  a new hobby with nsture photography,  peace and quiet, hoping to get back into fishing, looking to be more adults sites now, pet friendly, 

We make our own jewellery and crafts, all inspired by nature, and hoping to incorporate my photography into crafts as well.  

We have been going through a tough few years this past decade with one thing and another, so we are hoping this is a new start, with new friends, and new hobbies.

Base is currently Hull in East Yorkshire, (hopefully not for long) but we will and do travel all over from the south coast up.  This summer we were travelling from Shropshire, to Norfolk, to hastings, to  Hebden Bridge, to the Borders so distance isnt an issue if its relaxing and fun.  Our caravan is stored at WHITEWATER Park so even further north is an option, or even Wales.  

I presume that you have no interest in my offer. (3rd post).
