Hi All

I trying to find somewhere to go over the jubilee week as SWMBO and youngest daughter are going to be in Bavaria.

Idealy I would like to be on the Norfolk/Suffolk coast with hookup and a pub/shop nearby.

I've been looking but many places won't accept single males?:Angry:

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Ta muchly

Hook ups are becoming less and less important.

Please don't let the lack of a hook up put you off. We have some big rallies lasting 5 or more days and its rare that people run out of power and when if they do there is always someone who will loan a genny:thumb:

It's highly unlikely that you will die and if you do you won't be bothered.

You might not last a full week but drive home or drive to charge up ( provided your van is wired normally with a relay that charges the hab battery. Most do ).

Never heard that before. I've been on several sites whilst working in the van, never had a problem.

Grommet and JJ never mention this, though JJ is too tight to frequent sites.

Anyway you appear to be married.

SWMBO keeps telling me I am...although I do occaisionally remind her that I never actually asked....but that's usually only when I'm at least 50 ft+ away:Eeek: (she cant quite throw as far nowadays)

Hi Derek, The Vulcan Arms at Sizewell in Suffolk is a CL with hook-up around £11 a night (http://vulcanarms.freehostia.com/) Great food great Friday night entertainment and right on the beach with Aldeburgh within walking distance. If that is full then the Cakes and Ale a larger site with all facilities is just outside but has its own bar etc. great area. Or it's sister site at Woodbridge The moon and Sixpence, again with all facilities.:thumb:

Hi Derek if you wanted to come to Devon I could lend you a solar panel to keep you charged for the length of your stay. By next weekend I should be a Fun certified site hopefully

As the saying goes... "I wouldn't want to pay to stay on the sort of site that would let me on it anyway..."

Thanks very much for the thought but I would rather burn my ears out with a hot poker than listen to county and western..:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Try Floods ferry if you like a pitch by the river and some fishing.

Run by friends of ours and motorhome funsters.

They only have 4 pitches though. Might even see you there

seeing as there is ehu at that meet, I do think you should try at least 24hrs without, you will be pleasantly surprised at how civilised it still is, unless of course your tv if you need to watch one is mains only rather than 12/240. Once you find you can live without ehu all the time it will give you so much more freedom in where you can travel and camp/park and even aires if you go over to france.

Well I'd say that you'd be better off going on a rally to see how you CAN get on in the first place, then last, without hook up, because you will know for an absolute fact there will be immediate willing help at hand for any stutter or hitch that you might encounter.

If people can't offer technical help, someone will be sure to ply you sympathetically with tea/coffee/beer and practically any kind of cake you might fancy, whilst others are (helping you) solving your problem!

'swot friends are for, innit?
