I tend to spend a lot of time planning future trips, anyone else made any definate plans yet? Our first full week away is at the beginning of May to Dumfries And Galloway then at the end of May its our annual stay in a cottage with our grandkids, we look forward to this all year. We will have our usual short breaks nearer to home and in September we hope to spend 2 weeks away with the dogs and Doo-Dah, this will be the longest time spent on one trip and should be quite a challenge. Not yet certain of the destination for September, will wait and see when and where a possible meet may take place before we make a decision. So, where are you all off to this year? Ellen.

Weather dependent, Norfolk, and somewhere near Truro, Tavistock,
Damage Barton, Slapton Sands, Old Oaks, Lyme Regis, not
necessarily in any order and Sue starts a new job as her current
employer sold out to a new one.

1. Black Forest - on our doorstep - for the first run out with the Triton - 1 week end of April beginning of May.
2. Camping les Jonquilles on Lac de Gerardmer - France - 2 weeks end of May and into June.
3. Constable Burton Caravan Park (Yorkshire Dales) - UK - 3 weeks end of August and into September.

These trips are already planned and weather dependent there will be several extended weekend trips either in various parts of the Black Forest or the Vosges area of France.
We are both keen hikers/ramblers so tend to find sites that are close to some great countryside.

We've more aless booked 4 weeks worth of sites in the south of France for August/ sept.
Two weeks at Easter in Northumberland
May BH staying close to home in Snowdonia
May half term in Ireland ( as a reconnoiter for a long tour next year)
Then the usual weekend outings leaving after lunch on the friday and getting home after lunch on the Monday to fit around work. We tend to be more spontaneous with these bookings seeing we live in Wales and never usually short of finding somewhere. However we are seriously considering keeping the van on a local site where we know we will always have a pitch. This will be more so if the newly raised garage roof does not accomodate the Eriba to free up the double drive does not work out ( it's a constant source of argument with Hitched as it's her car we keep in the garage)

Municipal D'Audinet or De Bouthezard?

No idea, you're the one who said you were going there. Seriously though, I just located the town in BaseCamp (Garmin application) and found these two sites were in close proximity which is why I asked.

Oh you mean that lump of rock, the one with the Chapelle St. Michel D'Aiguilhe stuck on top. Can't see there being many believers in that town - blimey what a climb.
That other place you mentioned also has a big lump of rock close by although this time I think it's a radio mast. There's also a municipal campsite nearby - Chez Vasson in Orcines.
Better start early with your fitness training and make sure there's no holes in your walking clogs.
