New starters from Warsash Hampshire (1 Viewer)

[RGR723]

Hi All
We have been Tuggers for 35 years and we were still learning and picking up tips. We did have a brief 18 month flirtation with an Autosleeper Legend in 1996 and are now more than excited that we are about to rejoin the Moho's ranks with a Delaware ordered at the October NEC. which should be delivered shortly.
Started watching this site shortly after the show and know that there is a whole lot more learning to do. We have enjoyed it's many facets and the personal blog's. the early days of the "The World is my Lobster" I found immensely enjoyable and inspirational. Some of the tips are real gems (even if they are in some way common sense) "Not parking facing downhill on wet grass and expecting to reverse out" springs to mind. There really is a wealth of information on it, unfortunately because of the age of the grey matter I do tend to forget it shortly after it is read (note to self) write it down.
Am wondering if this site can be considered as "social media" if so it is a first for us and our children and grandchildren will be amazed as were from the dark ages.
Will asking questions shortly on the other threads.

Hola Judith (not sure of the etiquette) or should it be Jumartoo.
We have the ferry booked for Spain beginning of May looking forward to some decent weather. Not sure where we are heading but for the first time it will be sites. Will not break the habit of 35 years tugging quickly!
Thanks for your welcome.

Hi Anne, Terry and ASBO
Know the Riser well, great views over the water the pink ferry is still running!
I've ridden the IOW randonee a few times not sure I could manage the hills these days although I keep promising myself that I will try.

 

[RGR723]

Hi Anne Terry & ASBO
Made a mistake mentioning the Riser pub to you it was someone else who mentioned it in their welcome, sorry.

Hi Sue n Ray We hope you enjoy your new van. You will do well if delivery is pending and it arrives on time. Fiat got a massive order from motorhome manufacturers at the October show. Our order a Rapido at the October NEC is due in June. A long wait but lets hope I get enough use out of it before age related stuff really kicks in. We had a lovely meal at the Silver Fern is that what its called in Warsash ? The mother in law lives in Locks Heath so we pop down from Yorkshire on a regular basis.
One thing I would say is if you decide to tow a car on an a frame don't advertise it. There are lots of people that have an opinion or two about the subject. It seems more important to them than anything in life. They must have a very boring life or a very small garden.
Enjoy the new van Vic n Liz

Hi Zigisal
My wife is on her way there (Fareham) now to bash the credit card some more. :-(
This location is so good for the ferries isn't?

 

[RGR723]

Hi Andrew
Lived there (Hedge End) for 15 years and loved it. In the early days it was still almost just a village! Before coming here some 30 years ago now (how old am I?). Still got family and friends there and of course the boss (wife) loves the retail outlets!
Thanks for your welcome.

Hi Vic & Liz
Silver Fern Know it well, was up your way in 2014 for the Tour de France staying at Rowntree Park. Super position for York which we both loved. Can't think of it's name but there was an exceptional Italian (part of which was in it's basement) close to one part of the city walls which we kept returning to because we enjoyed it so much.
Thanks for your welcome.
Sue & Ray
