First outing.

Looks liked your hooked then ! .....to the wonderful world of caravanning :-)

Hi there,

 Welcome to a special group of people. Like you I was a newbie but as a single mum with two young kids people viewed me as a helpless lady and seemed only to pleased when I accepted their help. I have met so many super  people over the years an even a lovely male partner,who has ditched his  trailertent for the luxury of a Caravan.If you still feel a little lost do what I did and join the Caravan Practical handling course. I promise you with that you will never look back.The best information I could have received and gave me so much confidence and I then caravanned on my own for many years in the knowledge that I was always among friends.Now  I enjoy  my holidays with my partner and still share it with the friends I met some 18 years ago..It gets better every year,,, Good Luck !!

Black Knowl is a wonderful site, think the quirky toilet block is unique to all others in the sites network!!!

Did you have to run the gauntlet of the animals sheltering under the trees near the first bend on the approach road?

Hope you enjoy all the forthcoming days out to come

We chickened out when it came to the pink and blue stuff for the loo and use one fluid that can be used for both and it smells nicer. Like you I found lots of advice and help available from fellow caravanners and wardens.

we too stared in disbelief at all the toilet instuctions and for the first few trips used the site loos, then a kindly warden in Alderstead heath pointed out the where and how of it, it was so easy can't believe we took so long! We too have just completed our first caravan year, and we hope to be a tad more adventurous next year, we are going to try January trip to Brighton, not far, but JANUARY!!!! Happy caravaning!
