There appear to be several groups around but 18 months ago I couldn't find one that was prepared to share where and when they rallied and I put a comment on here so I gave up and now just attend rallies with my CAMC Centre which I am quite enjoying.

Have a look at the Travelling Alone thread in this section. There are a couple of Links in there and mention of groups. Best of Luck.

I made my first trip on my own last September and had planned a series of trips this year to try an make my mind if I wanted to continue with the van. But of course Covid had other ideas. So my next trip which is in September will be my second on my own. I have joined one of the singles clubs but so far haven't been to a meet because they were either in locations I didn't fancy or on dates I couldn't make. I'm probably my own worst enemy as I prefer to go to sites which offer serviced pitches which tends to limit things.

What I would like to do when I go to a site is to be able to meet up informally with anyone else who is on their own for a chat or a cup of tea, all socially distanced of course, But I'm not sure how that could be arranged in a secure way. Perhaps I could put a sign up saying free cup of tea to anyone on their own.
