Just wondering what everyone's favourite trips have been so far this year and why? 

Mine I think would have to be Longleat. Despite the weather, torrential rain and the fact that I had a limp from taking part in the MacMillan Mighty Hike (26 miles on the South Downs Way) the day before (I fractured my toe from tripping over so much!!) we had a fabulous time. Our awning collapsed in the night because we had so much rain but hearing the sea lions and lions on the Club Site was magical and Sam (my three year old son) loved it. A lovely site and perfect for families. We also visited Wookey Hole and loved exploring the caves - I could not get enough of the Wookey Hole Cheese! Feeding the giraffes at Longleat has to be a highlight of the year and Sam still wears the safari hat we bought there and asks to go back to 'Longleap Club Site'. 

Photos below are exploring the bug hotel at Longleat Club Site and waiting to go into the caves at Wookey Hole.

our pre breakfast dip should have been better,water much warmer than the air and crystal clear but an invasion of large scary looking jelly fish meant it was a short swim. However later on today the big ugly critters seem to have gone and been replaced with smaller "walnut" sized specimens  that I can cope with. We have seen these here before but not sure what it is that causes a sudden influx  or just as sudden disappearance.

Use a wetsuit, whenever in unknown waters I do, I have swam in some sketchy areas around the world & have been safe so far👍🏻

I’m not keen on jelly fish either. Size no indication of sting power, unless it’s a Portuguese Man O War!😱

Sounds very nice AD. We had to put another layer on here yesterday😁

Mid 20s sounds very good. We haven’t braved the North Sea! Expecting tail end of that hurricane as well just to keep us amused😂😂

Lovely today though.

This is our first year with a MH taking delivery on Easter Saturday, however to date we have been away for 29 nights despite still working full time. So our favourite holiday so far was the first one were we could fully relax when all the packing issues, what equipment we needed etc. were resolved and it was a case of arrive, pitch up relax and enjoy. This was at Hunters Moon in July, we left work at 14:00 and the site was only a 20 minute drive from our storage, we arrived about 16:00, we got the awning setup in record time, took the dogs for a walk, the weather was good, cooked on the Cadac and had a nice bottle of red. Saturday was more of the same, reading and chilling just what was needed after a hard week at work.  Back home on Sunday lunchtime feeling refreshed and also in time to watch the Grand Prix.

No doubt one of our many tours round North Scotland. The best was the year of my retirement, no agenda, no time constraint. Put £1000 in my pocket. Toured the Isles and the North Coast ( Way before the Scottish 500). Walked 100@s of miles, fished masses of lochs. Ate well and met wonderful people. One lady baked me a home made loaf in Durness when I complained at the lack of home bakeries in exchange for a few trout. Now given up the Camper but planning a B & B tour similar in 2020 but not the mad 500

 We have been away once in our caravan this year which we traded in after the trip to Ludlow  for a motorhome (See earlier posts for the reason) The sites we have visited so far all have been great but by far the best so far was Bridlington we were their last month when the weather was red hot. Where do l begin we played three rounds of golf one round at Bridlington south shore the other at Flamborough Head golf club, what fantastic views, golf was fantastic with the exception of the wife beating me by point which levelled matches one a piece, decider at the Bridlington Links opposite the site which l am afraid she won decisively by 4 points. Besides the golf we took our electric bikes, road to Flamborough to take in those views we saw while playing golf, we also road down the promenade from Sewerby Hall to the South Shore via the harbour. The site was fantastic has usual been their at least six times but in the caravan, people on the forum says its expensive, we are lucky being pensioners, we can go out of season the price then is reasonable All in all this was the best holiday we have had for along time may be it was because we were there in the motorhome for the first time which we found less stressful, can't wait for next year but before that we are off to another of our favourites Hawes. We will not be taking the bikes just do some walking take a few bus trips in an generally relax, who needs airports.
