Hi,....our 1984 Ace  Debutante loves going abroad ( last year the Eiffel-area in germany) her name is Betty and she has a couple of Betty-Boo Stickers, .....(.Its all to do with looking after the things you love and give you pleasure).....we never been to a Site without a Shower or Water, so why all these problems about showers and hot water, and satellite ?? We go Caravanning and not to a 5***** Hotel, we love walking ,nature, countryside etc.( and a nice Pub in the eve.) our telly is hardly ever used.

Yes small world!  Actually there appear to be a few caravans with green stripes in my pictures LOL!  We were on the right hand side just as you come into the field - we had quite a few flags flying!

We did actually post on this forum before we went - if you do a search for Beltane the threads will come up - we met up with another UKCS member - Dave.

See you next year!

Yes I’m a proud owner of a crappy old caravan 3 berth folding of undetermined age and make (pos Sterkeman?) it’s sound, solid and dry but could do with a repaint and the interior could do with a good revamp. However everything works it’s very easy to tow to the extent I get better fuel consumption from my 1.6 Zafira than I do when I don’t have it hitched up Umm mainly due to driving much slower lol.
Anyway where ever I go and whatever the site we always seem to be surrounded by huge shine new caravans pulled by equally shine new Chelsea tractors. Now I know other people have crappy old caravans but where are they??? Where do they go??? Is there special crappy old caravan sites??? Is there a crappy old caravan club???

No such thing as a crappy old caravan, you bought it you use and it is your pride and joy and what is more it does the job you want it to. I would welcome you as a next door neighbour on any CC site that I am on. My outfit is my lovely new caravan ( well it was 8 years ago when I bought it and I still think of it as such ) and my 6 year old Mondeo ( that was a year old when I bought it, however I can easily see the time 6 years from now when I am towing my 14 year old van with my 12 year old Mondeo.

why cant Caravan site owners have special areas sheilded away from the nice shiney new vans so not to spoil the overall apperance of the campsite ?
