This was just another short week end trip to see our daughter, Alex, living in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. We stayed at the CL that we have used before which is only a short drive into the town of Droitwich.

Sunday 25th Oct
Picked up Roxy at the farm and drove down to Waitrose in Salisbury to get fuel and LPG for the first time. An experience without any drama but I did ask for advice from the service crew as I really did not want things to go wrong. Not sure why I bothered really as it is very straight forward.

We have never had a TV fitted in a van before let alone a satellite system on the roof. Neither are we great watches of a tv when we are away preferring to listen to the radio. However Roxie had both so we were both rather intrigued with it all. On our first visit and on pickup day the tv appeared to be working fine. However being both very excited at our new purchase neither Kaz nor I took a great deal of interest in the quality or the workings of a tv, a tv is a tv isn’t it? Continue reading

We visited the end of the year Motor Home Show at Shepton Mallett predominately to see the accessories on offer and to have a nose around. This all proved very successful which resulted us in deciding to purchase the “Gas It” system for the van. Continue reading

Turned off the key at 18.30 in a quiet peaceful part of the New Forest for the weekend.
Furzehill Farm CL run by Richard Loader is a brilliant site, an ideal place to chill and recharge the batteries. It had only been about a 30 minute drive, about 15 mile, from Salisbury on a sunny evening. Continue reading

21 – 23 August 2015 House Move Droitwich Spa CL
Friday afternoon saw me drive Roxie up to Droitwich Spa with the boys on the seats beside me. A quick stop on the way up for a dog break after about an hour. Have decided that stopping after an hour or so beneficial for all, even though Roxie is such an easy vehicle to drive.

14 – 16 August 2015 Our first CL – Goffsland Farm, Horsham, West Sussex (1697)
Leaving home about 4pm we made good time even though it mainly drizzled all the way and the traffic was quite busy on the M27 with Friday night work commuters and other summer holiday makers. Stopped off at Tesco’s Havant for fuel and a Costa coffee and chocolate to contain my withdrawal symptoms.

26 – 28 June 2015 Shakedown Longleat Safari Park CC
Running late due to work commitments we thought it best to ring the CC Longleat site to say that we would be there about 8pm.rang the site and said we would be rather late. However it is an easy straight drive from Salisbury and we did arrive about 7.45pm so we were able to pick a site fairly easily. Continue reading

Well at last this day has arrived. After several years checking out web sites for a motorhome and trying hard to fill our bank with the necessary readies we are ready to go. It has been a long 6 weeks since we first saw the van on the Motorhome Depot web site followed by a Saturday morning visit.
