Winter-time thoughts . . .

I'm not at all keen on the winter.

I'm not sure if it is an effect of the dark and long nights, or of the even more miserable weather, but I like winter less and less as time passes by.

So a recent thread in The Caravan Channel has been striking chords with me - the one about taking a trip to Spain in the depths of January or February - and so I'd really like to do it!

I've been trying to work out the best way of handling it for us, and have arrived at the idea of doing it immediately after the NEC show in February. If we left at the start of March, we could get back with stacks of material in May, in time for our own caravanning season - and I'd be able to it in some warm sunshine, hopefully, instead of in the dismal rain!

I've just got back from 3 days at the superb new 'Conkers' C&CC site where I met up with other Round Britain Ralliers (Motorcyclists) for a impromptu BBQ, and am looking to return with the caravan and 2 other caravanning friends in February; regardless of the weather, as this site is set-up for winter caravanning.
This country has to much to offer (in all weathers) to be spending loads of cash for half the time abroad.
It might be worth looking at a separate programme for caravanning abroad though (In addition to your existing highly informative and enjoyable programme!)
