UK v Abroad ?

When we started caravanning 30 years ago we said that we would see Britain first before we ventured further afield.

However, after a few years we suddenly realised that as we got older we might not want to do the long(er) journeys and so started to go overseas. Our very first such trip was to Interlaken. Living in the middle of the country is quite a hike to whichever port we use and, for us, the port is where our holiday really begins.

As things have turned out our thoughts were correct and long hikes of 250 to 300 miles in a day are a thing of the distant past and, although we still go to France most years, what we did in two weeks when I was at work now takes 3 weeks plus.

So my suggestion is go overseas sooner rather than later.

 

Thanks Pippah45.

much appreciated. As you are from Lincolnshire I wondered if you could recommend anywhere in your County ? I have heard Woodhall Spa is nice

Write your comments here...Woodhall Spa is very nice - I stayed there last year with a friend who wanted to do some RAF stuff - she had a ball!  That was a CC&C site and I dont' usually caravan that close to home!  The Nature Reserves are worth a visit especially Donna Nook in November/December  when you can virtually touch the new born seals But DON'T if you value your fingers!  Then there are the Great Houses and Castles like Belvoir, Belton, Grimsthorpe and so on.  Lovely sandy beaches - and a couple of kiss me quick seaside resorts!  I live very near the Market Rasen site which closes in November.  The wolds are very pretty and towns like Louth and Horncastle well worth a visit - as of course is the beautiful city of Lincoln!
