Hello everyone! Please be gentle to a 'newbie' lol. (1 Viewer)

[John Luckwell]

We are really experienced with our motorhome, having owned it now for over 5 days
Having had several caravans over the years, I suppose we aren't starting off completely 'green' but certainly only a few shades away ... a lot to learn!
As a Scot, living in Moray, I know we are privileged to have amazing scenery so near to us but I'm of the opinion that one doesn't have to drive miles and miles to experience that 'away from it all' feeling. We picked up our van last Wednesday and spent two days on a site just 15 miles away, in order to get used to everything before venturing off to the West Coast for 'wild camping'.
I'm sure there will be plenty of questions to pose to all you seasoned motorhomers out there and I'll thank you in advance for your help!
Cheers,
John

Well, I 'took the bait' and subscribed! This old brain (or what's left of it) might take a wee while to work out how to respond to others

Thanks Keith for the welcome and info. By the way, every time I passed through Ecclefechan the name made me smile! Just to balance things up, I grew up near Stuckenduff!

Hello Wyn Where are you in the West Midlands? I'm not an expert on the area but I did spend some time with the RAF at Cosford near Wolverhampton, which I know is the Black Country. A wee bit too far from the sea for my liking lol

Ha! I was across the road from there most of this afternoon. At the caravan dealer's. We have just traded our old motorhome with them for our new Bailey Autograph 682. Just sorting out a few niggles having had it no longer than you have had yours.

We actually live in Sedgley, between Wolverhampton and Dudley.

Wyn, your reply has brought back another memory for me ... Dudley Zoo! Went there with an old girlfriend. Well, when I say 'old' we were about 20! Several lifetimes ago!

Hello Annie (is it alright to call you that?!). Where are you in Bristol? I have a road there named after me! Just kidding but there IS a Luckwell Road in Bristol and a primary school. I must have distant ancestors in the SW, as I was born in Glasgow to parents born in Gourock, Renfrewshire! Anyway, thanks for the 'hello'!
