What is it that you absolutely love about your hobby? Is it the freedom to explore, the opportunity to relax in new places, the call of the open road, or something else entirely? 

I love the opportunity to discover new places and spend time together as a family away from distractions. What is it that you love?

I know who slept in my bed last night.

I know everyone who has ever slept in my bed, used my shower, used my toilet.

We had taken self catering holidays in the UK for 30 years of marriage and, maybe we were unlucky, but we could count the good ones on the fingers of one hand. We saw the TV programme with Alex Riley and decided to see what modern caravaning could offer. We chose our first caravan well and have not looked back.

We love the peace and quiet of CL sites and always know what the accommodation is going to be like before we get there.

We are exploring parts of the country we have never been to before and returning to old favourites.

"More flexibility to plan"

David, for us that would be a contradiction in terms, perhaps?

our 'more flexibility' means we don't have to 'plan'.....or did you mean 'plan less'?

our holiday (abroad) last week, Friday, was only booked two days before...

prior to that the two (previous, seperate) weeks away were only 'chosen' just before we left.

we 'might' go away on Friday, and we we might meet up with pals who are away, but nothing certain until the ignition key is turned.

...but we did 'plan' one break....we are going to Henley later, and have booked (not HFO) as we are visiting the Regatta, but this is the only break we know we are taking, although we will 'almost certainly' wink be away every other week and 'are extremely likely' to be over the water sometime later in the year.

changing circumstances mean we have upcoming 'commitments' but it's the readily available van on the drive and its ease of departure that allows us to leave at the drop of a hat (clutchwink).

for us, and many others I'm sure, it's the element of 'not planning' (when or specifically where) that's part of the attraction...
