Back on the road again... 
I had come to the conclusion that we may never be "Motor-homing" again..... but.... never give up...
We, or I had almost given up on the idea....
But NO...... we are on the road again for the time being.. so this is a run down on our first 2 trips away in our new to us PVC...
Started at Simmons Farm Estate for a few nights.... Only opened the week we got there... Lovely laid out site... but if you go down the bottom of the field there is a lot of road noise all day and into the night being the main A35... lot`s of night delivery lorries, also it`s a long walk to the top to empty your elsan.... price wise for what is there, I thought a wee bit dear... So if you do try it ask to be camped near the top, away from the road... you will still hear the traffic but not as much.. few photo`s =
The loves of my life... but she is NOT allowed on my bed at home...
She has even nicked me oxygen bottle....
After our stop at Simmons Farm Estate...we managed to secure a couple of nights (Thanks to FIDGET .) down with the Wombles rally at Highlands end camping......... We have lived in the area most of our married lives but never paid a visit before as it is less than an hour from home.... But what a fabulous site with some stonking views from a lot of pitches of the English Channel... We managed to get on a grass pitch for a couple of nights.. (Hard Standing/Gravel and Grass. EHU or Non EHU.).... (Bit wet and Muddy.) especially after Sundays down pours... A couple or three Girl Funsters even climbed down the side of a mountain to go swimming..
But the Saturdays drinks and get together well made up for a bit of rain... (Only Funsters can organise an impromptu get together like that...
)Few Photo`s.. =
Then the long arduous journey home..
..
Few shots of our drive home through one of the most beautiful thatched villages in Dorset and down the famous Abbotsbury hill with the Isle of Portland in the distance..= (We always used to stop in a lay-by on Abbotsbury Hill for an Ice Cream, kid`s loved the ice cream and a flake.. Pulled in and took a few photo`s..... Sod was not there..
)
Well that`s an insight into us getting back into motor-homing... Remember....
Never give up on your dreams...
Take care and stay safe, all of you...

.) and we both did not like the back doors... so the solid back with a boot is ideal, plus Vantage have slipped a lot of nice little extra`s in.... like a small shelf running all the way round the U-shaped lounge for Judy`s nick-knacks...
