We went to Bridport for a night in January, only ones on the site which was nice. Looking to go over to the channel islands in may.

Probably one of many knowing you

We went there for a weekend away in a hotel mind you, very nice there was a rowing regatta on when we went, the Cathedral was nice and Beamish is close by and also worth a visit.

I used to live in a small village 5 miles south of Durham City over 20 years ago - looking forward to showing Mrs B around - just hope it hasn't changed too much.

i drive to "Maikäfertreffen" on 01.05.2012 in Hannover. That is one of the biggest events in germany.

Rudi went out camping twice this year - one - with my husband and his best friend on a lads' trip to Yorkshire Dales in January (it was -7C at night!) and last weekend with both of us and young Mr T. (our 2 year old) to Lake District. Brrr! That was windy and rainy - we retreated a day earlier than planned as Junior was getting a bit arsey, being stuck in the van or under the rain cover...

That's some photos from Dales

and some photos from the Lakes to follow soon in trips section.

Cooool winter pics

Brrr, very cooool..... husband says "thanks". Poor thing, he never gets a chance to get to the comp nowadays...

I love Swaledale. Our school had a cottage in Gunnerside. Only got to go once though.

Used to fish in the Swale with my dad as a kid. Happy memories.

Will be passing through when I walk the C2C with my girls in May/June.

Hi OSG, i see you have a trip to york planned ,are you camping??

If you go to Durham Cathedral, may I suggest that you don't make the classic Simon Groom/ Blue Peter blooper and refer to the ' beautiful pair of knockers' or you may receive a smack over the head from Mrs B's umbrella!

Well we are not going anywhere at easter the big colour change happens then. We have booked Clachtoll Beach Camspsite again for the summer.

We are seriously considering travelling the 336miles for the Kombi Sleepover could be overnight driving no traffic, colder dense air for better fuel economy and power .

That's about it so far.

Consider yourself one of US!! Come along .... your Kombi could probably do with stretching its pistons, it'd be great to meet you guys.

We're folk musicians in our spare time so we will be at loads of folk festivals through the year, including Towersey, Priddy, Beautiful Days, Wimborne, Okehampton, Dartmoor etc - really looking forward to that.
But - along with those fests - we will try to get to a couple of BraziBay meets too.
Looking forward even more to the drive back from Brighton with our new family member tomorrow - we'll (hopefully) be leaving VW Kampers about 1pm - and then back along the South Coast to native Dorset. Give us a wave if you see us!

Try to consider the Kombi Sleepover in June if your schedule allows - will be FAB
See Meet Ups section for details and Past Meet Ups section for feed back from last year

Agree with Tim, would be good to meet you guys at the Kombi Sleepover this year
The run would probably be good for the camper too - it is win win

Well spotted! It's a beautiful area and we keep on coming back - funny enough - it's 2 hours drive for us while we have North York Moors on our doorstep...

May/June is the best month to be there - we, too will be visiting at some point - shall we try a little Kombi Sleepover North up there?

We really would like to meet everybody at Kombi Sleepover in June but that depends on so many other things at the moment that I don't dare to plan anything just yet. Most of our holiday/ sleepover plans last season went to nothing so this year we will just go with the flow...I only hope that last minute arrivals are OK at Kombi Sleepover....
