Hi All,

?

Anyone on here in the High Barnet area? I see few vans and MoHos around and wonder what you get up to, it would be nice to know what you guys do if you can't park at your house too. If we ever get it together and get a MoHo we won't be able to park at home as there is no space on drive or carriageway.

Fair enough :xThumb:. I'll be brave and image I'll find a whole bunch of nice folk behind the doors:giggle:
I think you will find most motorhomes are nice and helpful if you explain that you live closely andyour looking to purchase one and just trying to find out a bit more. If you've got a wife take her with you.

I was born in Barnet, many years ago, and still quite often visit. Bit of a nightmare trying to find a parking space in town I imagine, the local council seem to like their yellow lines.

Well, I know Friern Barnet pretty well as I worked for the ambulance service in Colney Hatch Lane. I was born at Wood Street Barnet. It’s a small world.

Most pay for storage I wouldn't fancy leaving ours on the road for long wherever we were if we werent using it . Why not search CASSOA to find storage places near you I bet there arent many caravans parked around there either.

I have been in ‘the other’ Orange Tree pub. It’s still going as far as I know, it’s on Totteridge Lane and a bit posh for the likes of me.

I first went to Barnet Fair (i.e. hair) about 60 years ago, it was/ is in a field just off Barnet Lane with the horse fair opposite.
