It was Halloween and I went up north to my fourth campervan weekend with the solos group I recently joined on Facebook. We all donned costumes for a party at the pub on site.

The third venture out with the solo campervanners group saw me heading to Aynho, near Banbury in Oxfordshire, for another splendid weekend which included the company of some pigs and a 1980s-themed quiz night.

For my second trip out with the newly-joined solo campervanners group, I headed down to the south coast of Dorset to an unusual campsite which features a heated outdoor swimming pool, beach bar and nightclub. Plus the sea a short walk away. Whilst the dance vibe is not my thing in the slightest, the good company and sunny September weather made it a wonderful weekend.

Van 99: Boil in the Bag

The UK has just experienced its hottest ever recorded June temperatures, apparently, with 4 days of supremely warm weather across much of England. By coincidence, I had booked two nights at a campsite in Herefordshire at this time, and was determined not to miss it just because I’d broil in the van.

New motorhomes and campervans are very expensive (but fun to browse) so I was interested to see the new Motorhome, Campervan and Camping show at NAEC Stoneleigh was going to feature used models as well as the shiny new stuff. For a ticket price of £7.50 (using a discount code), I thought I’d pop along and see what you can get for your money.

I had a chance for two nights away in the campervan, at a site near Cheltenham. Here is the thrilling account of that expedition.

I haven’t had the time to go away in the van recently – until suddenly a week ago I had a night free so I documented a very quick trip away.

Van 95: The Hills are Alive!

As I live in Worcestershire, getting to Malvern is easy. With a day ticket for the motorhome show just £7.50, I took a trip to the Three Counties Showground to browse a huge variety of motorhomes. Come with me, in this video.

I was invited to go along to the Van Life & Celebration event in Newbury at the end of July, and various friends were going to be there so along I went.
