New solo caravanner!

Hello and welcome to our hobby and CT. We're a friendly knowledgeable crowd so if you have any questions ask away. You'll probably get more than one answer proving there isn't just one way to do things.

There is a Solo group who post meets on CT search for solo's I'm sure they'll make you welcome.

Hi Andrea.

There are lots of solo campers out and about. Many of us belong to a club called the New Companions Camping Club. www.newcompanions.org.uk

We hold meets all over the UK. A magazine called the Chronicle has details of the meets.  The membership sec's tel no is 07947 480113.

Enjoy your caravanning.

Thank you Bakers2 for your lovely welcome and info it is much appreciated. So pleased to know that there is a solo community to liven up some of my trips!

Hello Meg thanks so much for replying and giving me so much info. I shall definitely make contact with the New Companions. The contact name and details is very appreciated. I'm glad to hear there are plenty of other solos around like yourself.

regards, Andrea. 

If  you  search  thro  the  threads  started  by  VIVIEN ( they  are  just  above  this  one  in  the  "Solos  touring"  area )  you  can  get  info  of  how  to  find  C&MC Solo  members  --  I  believe  that  they  tend  to  use  Faceache  or  some  such  'cos  its  easier  than  trawling  thro'  here.

Hi Andrea and welcome to solos.  I am from Lincolnshire but haven't been out with any Solos since New Year family has got in the way!  I met a lovely lady last year from Phoenix another group for singles and she was from Norfolk.  I have two dogs with me by the way.  Hope you make as many new friends as I have done!

Thank you ABM, did that and yes Faceache is the go to place! I'd never have known so thanks for directing me to viviens posts.

Hi pippah45 thank you for your welcome. You and the others who've responded have made my month! I normally have a friend or two visit me on site but this time I didn't and it felt a bit lonely! There was a lovely friendly and helpful couple and gentleman on site which was nice - and to be honest I'll normally get chatting a bit to somebody but it would be great to discuss what I and others have been doing on a day and feel more part of something. I'm glad you've made lots of new lovely friends I shall look forward to that also. I shall join the Phoenix club too and see what the CC Solos on Facebook are up to. I've just signed up to the New Companions - and maybe I shall meet you and your two doggies and the lady from Norfolk on our travels soon! I hope you manage to start your Solos again soon. 

Andrea.

Enjoy your travels with the New Companions Andrea.  Hope you find a meet convienent for you. 

Pippa - I hope your family problems have settled a bit.

Hi Im up in East Lothian and currently have a VW T5 which I love to bits, well driving but after a couple of days staying in it.  I really need to get home to my comfy bed.  I have my dog, Millie, she isn't very keen at going away, but as long as I take her to a beach or somewhere where she can have a good walk and a good sniff about.  She is happy as long as she is with me.  I have only toured around Perthshire, Fife and East Lothian so far.  Going away to Lake District and Northumberland over the next few months.  If you are ever heading up to Scotland, let me know.

I have a keen interest in becoming an assistant warden, but with me being single doesn't look like it is what they are looking for.  Always asking for couples.  So may start looking for next year and see if I can find a job being a warden something maybe in Scotland or Northumberland way.  Feel I could do with a change of job.
