Hi everyone,
I don't know if it's the same across the UK, but we really felt a drop in temperature here in Sussex yesterday! It looks like autumn has set in.
We're looking for your tips and recommendations for anyone new to touring who may not have experienced caravanning and motorhoming in the autumn and winter seasons.
What are your top tips and must-have items?

Posted on 04/10/2019 16:38 by young thomasit was sunny when we were in the dunes....im staggered that anyone from Cornwall would not realise how changable the weather is there

Shame you went home and missed the sun. 😕

As Atlantic gales go, today was distinctly average by Cornish autumn/winter standards. If all my roof tiles stay on it’s just another breezy day. Surfers and kite surfers go mad for these sort of conditions and there’s nothing better than an invigorating walk on a wild beach in such ‘fresh’ conditions. A pint in the local without the crowds finishes things off nicely. For me, the best time of the year to be here. You won’t need your snow chains or pipe lagging either!

Posted on 04/10/2019 15:49 by young thomasyes, you're right Rocky, we got lashed...and 'twer horizontal....water does that when being propelled by 40+ mph winds...
we took a walk on the dunes and then back via the beach, as we'd finished our soup
obviously TW lives in the sheltered part of cornwall.
just driven back home, far quieter here and by the time we got to exeter.
however, Malaga, it aint....although i tend to use that area for golf rather than touring, plenty of nice places away from the 'resorts'.
as MM so astutely pointed out, i suggested touring away was not just an alternative but an additional way to tour in winter.

Perhaps it wasn't your goal but you made many negative points about touring in winter in the UK and not one positive one? And mentioning several times the 'option' to leave the country?
