Ime not sure who runs this or even if Ime on the correct page if not perhaps you can direct me ?

Me and the wife were going away in the van in September , she,s been ill for some time and she passed away a month ago

devastating awful Ime not feeling sorry for myself but have been feeling dreadful ,as you would imagine

i decided to go away for a break from everything at a caravan club site but I think mostly couples would be upsetting so I saw the solos thing and think that talking to others this has happened to might be therapeutic , Ime really not sure , my loss is still very raw so what do you think ? A good idea or go to an ordinary club site

thanks for listening

Alan

I am sorry that your post got buried in a lengthy discussion, don't be put off by that.

There are lots of friendly people who also travel alone and would welcome your company.

I cannot copy my reply to your original post or another lengthy discussion may ensue but do look for a meet that you would like to attend and just turn up I am sure you will be made very welcome.

One life live it

Kind regards

Chris

Hi Alan

Welcome to solo touring! Sorry to hear about your loss. There are a lot of the solo group who are in the same position but have continued to enjoy caravanning and motorhoming. I hope that you will feel able to join some of us at a meet soon. Also, if you are planning to go away somewhere yourself, if you post dates and where you are going on the forum, people may join you.

Good luck and happy camping!

Carolyn

Good post, Chris. I was concerned the OP had been overlooked.

Having once been in your situation, maybe try a CL, not so may couples about and may give you a bit of "space" . Take Care there is no right or wrong way to what you are going through, just your way

I think a Mod might move this Alan''s question to parts? or somewhere?

Moderator Edit:

Unfortunately, we don't have the facility to move a single post so I'll have to leave Alan's post where it is unless he decides to repost. See my post below.

Alan in Devon - welcome to the Solos chat - so sorry to hear of your loss. I am about to go to Devon for a while so if you are anywhere near the Tavistock area perhaps we could meet for a cup of coffee and a chat? I took the leap to join a Solo meet almost three years ago and have had some great times since then making new friends. You could contact me by email pippah_uk@yahoo.com if interested or able to meet up for a chat about lone caravanning etc. I think its a matter of choice about what sort of site - there are a lot of couples everywhere but obviously fewer on CLs - which I like anyway. I think as Chris said at the beginning - its important to just get out there and Go For it!

Alan (Old biker) this thread is for a poster in Devon also called Alan with the Avatar "Alonso." You need to post your question in another section of the forum, maybe the towcar section? This is area of the forum is for people travelling solo.
