HI, we have our tourer sited all season, go every weekend, but if we fancy a change we just hitch up and go for a week or two, then back to the site,

best of both worlds,

twice a month at least. We have 'long haul' trips planned for the year, weekends at more local sites and we have already booked for the bank holidays.

The new burstner has got us thinking of getting away earlier this year.

When OH was working we had a 3 week trip and a 2 week trip in summer and a week or long weekend later.  Other weekends were out due to work and looking after house/garden etc.  Now we are retired we have 5 months away in total  planned for this year.

OH will probably retire in April so things will change but can't yet go on really long trips until our Dumby Fluffcat dies, he's too old to get used to the van and we can't really ask our neighbour to feed him for 3 months! First trip booked is Easter and we were also away at Christmas. Weekends seem like too much of a hassle.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Bank holidays, (normally not too far-avoid jams!)and at least once a month in the summer. Plus a trip "sur le continent" most years, if we don't go further afield.

We usually put our van on a local site (CC minimum facilities) in July or Aug for a week or two and live in it and go to work, as its not too far. We can call in home to collectt mail, do washing etc as and when!
