Starting again - hopefully

Welcome to CT StayYoung. I'm sure there are many out there who've had similar ideas and got going again. It's nice to hear you have family back up, no doubt it will be shared experience if you can find the right van. Hope your plans work out. 

PS I'm sorry to see you posted in October and replies have been slow.

I guess it’s a lengthy delay in the non-member approval system but welcome at last, SY. I hope you find your ideal van and site.

Hello,  Good Evening  and Welcome  to pinch a line from somebody famous !!

Don't worry too much about the Going Solo bit 'cos there are quite a few doing that on here and elsewhere !!Browsing thru these different sections you may very well come across areas giving good advice which may be followed or ignored as the fancy takes you  .  BUT the one thing you must take with you is your sense of HUMOUR  --  I demand a giggle or six every day including tomorrow -- try to do the same  

Hope you have not been put off by the ridiculous time it takes for The Caravan Club to approve new posters.  Maybe in the meantime you have decided to tour with your tourer!

6 weeks to approve a new poster? Well done CT!

Hope StayYoung doesn't think we're all as rude as that.

Anyway hope all goes well. There is a section devoted to Solo Tourers a bit further down the front sheet of this forum if you ever find the need to venture out alone.

Good luck with your "new" hobby.

 Hi StayYoung - welcome to Club Together and welcome back to touring.  Looks like we might be just down the road from you.  Although our profile says Staffs, we are actually just over the border in N Warks.  Look forward to reading your posts.

Oh thank you all, I m not a member so I just thought nothing really, but its great to have all those replies. My aviator is of our early motorhome, dad s really, he let us borrow it as a break from the tent. We were in the camping club for many years, and later the caravan club.

I have been busy and bought a caravan, so now I m committed. The next thing is to decide where to put it, or more accurately to find a season site. I cant expect my son in law to keep towing it at my command , but really I want somewhere that I can connect to within about 1 or 2 hours at the most, for weekends, several days . I m retired but do the school run etc. 

So that's why I m here, I hover between this club, the other club and the independents. From experience I would prefer a club site . I would love somewhere in Shropshire or north wales, an easy drive, no motorways and I love the area. So I will continue to search, it is a bit daunting on your own, but I do have backup with a great family .

Thank you for the great welcome 

StayYoung this is probably a good place to look. The Ukcampsite web site LINK where searches for all types of seasonal pitches can be made.

thank you brue, i m on the search as we speak ...

You're not retired SY, you're still working. The only difference is that no-one pays you now.
