[Coolcats]

Anywhere other than the Falklands that still a British Protectorate so its off to Gibraltar!

[PeteH]

Buy me a stonking big block V8 say an old Challenger or Charger

NOW, your talking , My weapon of choice is the Full size Dodge Ram Pickup, the older ones with 8.1? litre `Gas Engine.

I`m waiting for Global Warming, to make the south coast like Spain I`m working on a scheme to do away with all this "Green" stuff and bring back some pollution, that should speed it up a bit.

Have a word with the Chinese I believe they're good at that sort of thing

Only trouble with Norfolk in the winter is the sugar beet, which means lots of mud on the road and dirty motorhomes

 

[Sus3v]

Westacott farm abbotsham road just south of Bideford open all year - small Farm site but clean and you can see the sea. I stayed there in November last year - breezy but still nice And quiet

 

[Silver-Fox]

We go away all the year round in the UK. We aim for places where there is something to do, after it gets dark.

Don’t you make your own entertainment

Like your style young man.

Would still be happy with a Challenger same as in Vanishing point.

A 57 Bel Air would be acceptable as well

If you get me one I’ll t and t it etc

Ohh or a 55 as in two lane black top
The lady in that was a bit tidy in that as well.
Wonder what she’s like now

 

[Interceptor]

Can't beat a V8 for the burble

I might make it the 20 miles to Newhaven and once I get there thank goodness there is a ferry to France.

 

[Dorset Diver]

Home. The thought of camping in the UK in the winter fills me with horror.

 

[Conal]

According to Google we should all be heading to the Scilly Isles

My late parents moved from London to Sutton on Sea when they sold their Council house. The first time I visited them I was struck- literally- by the cold easterly wind!

Blimey sold their council house did the council ever find out.

We have been in Norfolk and North Yorkshire during the winter since we have had the Rienza. We usually visit York Christmas Market staying near the park and ride. The Duetto wasnt quite as weather proof for winter travels. This was one of the reasons we changed vans.
The only time we had any problems were during the mini beast from the east. Our water was partially frozen for a couple of hours in the morning. Having said that the water taps on the site was frozen all day.

Do you mean the Isles of Scilly? We don't have the Wight Isle or the Man Isle either

 

[TheBig1]

The southern part of Dorset has it's own micro-climate. Shielded by hills to the north and the sea to the south, it's a lovely place to live

We spent 2 months last winter on a campsite near Lowestoft and hope to do the same this winter.

Aviemore, Dorset coast, or Worcestshire

I`d forgotten that. But it can also be very wet!. Portland is a bit Draughty though!. Especially up on the "bill in January. Not so bad in the bottom of the quarry. Used to love Weymouth, Spent several Xmas & New Year there in the 80`s, Rallying with the Dorset Centre On the School, near the Hospital. Was pub on the harbour, did Fish and Chips on a Friday, worth the ride from Yeovil just for that.

I might make it the 20 miles to Newhaven and once I get there thank goodness there is a ferry to France.

Having driven through France a couple of times in January, I wonder where, many Sites and Aires are closed, even as far South as St Jean-de-Luz, we where overnighting in Snow!, on the camp-ground roads as the grass wouldn't take us.? The "better" condition had to wait until we where over the "top" and south of Pamplona. Having followed the snow plough one year!.

We’ve never had that problem in Norfolk.

But what about the turkey droppings

 

[138go]

Turkeys come from the supermarket, don’t they?

 

[Cheshirecat57]

I'm thinking of heading south for the winter (but staying in the UK). Where would your favourite destination be?

If you plan for damp,wet,cold , then everything will be a bonus

I would suggest a “2 location” break close to public transport links with local interest places to see (Nat Trust?)
Maybe Torbay/Dorset??
Or the Lakes

Didn't say I would stay in France.
Although this year in Feb the weather was so good we stayed in south west France for 3 weeks, better weather than we have had in Spain.
