Marjal...Hi Funsters..... (1 Viewer)

[Jaws]

Mel, for gawd sake man .... Unroll that bloody EHU lead before you have a fire in it !!!!!

 

[Heyupluv]

How much does the electric cost, based on the "usual" appliances ???
Good news about the LPG !!!

Salopian....we are not sure till we leave

As we are using our ACSI card...

Which says the cost includes 4kw per day (not a lot)....then its 35c for every extra kw you use on top...and as it was cold last night....as my Alde wet heating runs on a minimal 1kw for hot water and 2kw per hour for warm heating or 3kw for hot....we will use our quota in one hour with fridge,freezer and kettle and any cooking we dooh:
Blue skies and sun today

 

[Heyupluv]

I will be there on Sunday afternoon. At the moment down the coast at La Manga. Last night was very cold but wall to wall sunshine now.

Mel

I am hardly inspired and as for 'the best campsite it Spain', the rest of them must be dire, it looks like a Carefour Carpark with the odd bit of privet stuck between the pitches.

What the eco camping bit?

What would you give it out of 10?

ShiftZZ

Dave....YOU have hit the nail on the head.........I will PM you...... I am a celebrity get me out of here

John we had just left LA MANGA yesterday.....missed youoh:

We have not spoken to any British people since we got here last Tuesday. We are down at the beach end and are surrounded by Germans and Dutch people. Very nice and quiet but it does look a bit like a shanty town at this end with everyone's constructions and sheds.
I think that this part is normally for very long stay residents.
We got a deal on camping cheques with the ferry booking and this was a site which we could use some of them up on.

Mel, for gawd sake man .... Unroll that bloody EHU lead before you have a fire in it !!!!!

IF YOU ARE LURKING .....JAWS....SHOW YOUR BL**DY SELF....ARE YOU IN DISGUISE AS A WASTE BIN, LAMP POST, A THIN TREE .... THAT IS ALL WE CAN SEE AROUND US.....OR ARE YOU THAT SMALL YOU LOOK LIKE ONE ONE THESE SMALL PRIVET PLANTS DAVE (SHIFTZZ) HAS MENTIONED ....MY CABLE IS ALL WOUND OUT..... EITHER YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE WRONG VAN....OR ARE JUST MAKING A WILD GUESS......HOPING I WILL FALL FOR IT, AND ALL THE TIME YOU ARE IN THE UK

JOHN we stayed two nights, and that was two night's toooo long, I could not get away quick enough, what a place it is, my idea of living hell...half way up, it is like the UK all Brits...CCC rally...WOW they are there for 6 months most of them..they are made of strong stuff...geeesus.......we was half way up,half way down you need your angina tablets just to one way or the other..we moved three times...in the hedges was rat bait boxes ....now before that we was on MAZARRON the one on the beach ...or I should have said Camp German Mazarron......it was like a closed in all in metal cages Stalag camp..it was clean

I know precisely what you mean. If it had not been the fact that I am a tight Lancastrian I would have bolted several days ago. Not really found one redeeming feature yet. Still only one "free" night to go and then the escape committee swings into action. I think I will be crossing this one of my must see again, sites.

Chris this site is new.... so at the mo lack's character....Very nice..Very clean, to a high standard. in the middle of !! nowhere at the side of the motorway,windy at the mo... as the other funster said (that is here already in a RV) you will need transport of some shape or form ....maybe just a bicycle ....depending where you get allocated

What Dave said is "I am hardly inspired and as for 'the best campsite it Spain', the rest of them must be dire, it looks like a Carefour Carpark with the odd bit of privet stuck between the pitches."

That is what I will PM Dave about.....chrisgreen.... Don’t forget these are just my opinions..how I see it...yours may be completely different

i understand what you are saying:thumb:maybe next year might be the time to start judgeing the place:thumb:
are the bungalows finished yet?

 

[hilldweller]

Dave....YOU have hit the nail on the head.........I will PM you

Come on, spill the beans. Tell all.

Not that it matters to us, we'll be there on the 5th but FUNsters or not we'll be off pretty sharpish if it's crap. We're not spending all that money for anything less than excellent. Though "excellent" might be a Tesco's car park with the right people. What does concern me is the surroundings, we can't be cooped up in a car park all the time. How near is something worth cycling to ?

Forewarned would be good.

The toilets, the Showers, the wash facilities ......first class...the invalid toilets first class...the outside for washing pots first class....and if you like pampering and washing your dog,.. there is a room for just that :thumb:

 

[hilldweller]

Don’t forget these are just my opinions...yours may be completely different

Any honest opinion is greatly valued and you're right, we are all different.

>> TENNIS, DANCING, BINGO,HANDY CRAFT DAY, SWIMMING

Tennis - zimmer frame gets in the way.
Dancing - oh no, no, no, no, no.
Bingo - if it's Bingo or hanging from a washing line by my testicles, it's got to be the washing line.
Handy Craft - might be interesting. How to make a hacienda in 10 days will do nicely.
Swimming - OK.

Muzak - I can't stand any noise if I want to read, one interrupts the other. I can't stand noise if I'm working. If I want music, I concentrate on music. Clearly not a multitasker. That's just me. Now 'er indoors can't survive without noise, so I bought her a good pair of headphones.

Have you sampled the bars/restaurants ? Pricey ?

Just a bit of info a word to the wise .....if you have large piece of green matting..some normally carry it all the time for the awning....fetch it with you.....or fetch a large ground sheet..you will need something...every bay the floor is that very fine white grit like cat litter Mmmmmmm everywhere looks clean.... but it is terrible not good for the motorhome inside floor.............or you will be sweeping out dailyoh:

 

[hilldweller]

..every bay the floor is that very fine white grit like cat litter

Thanks for that, I asked someone else, but never got the answer, I was wondering how we'd peg down an awning.

I can live with that. You should see the mud I hosed out of our ski locker after our last trip, I could have planted up a tree with it.

Only other thing that will interest us all is the supermarket.

If you get caught sending these messages will they hand you over to the secret police ? All the roads in Tenerif were built by the slave gangs of the secret police I'm told. So best keep your cyanide pill on you at all times.

 

[Heyupluv]

Brian .....I noticed on another thread you are stopping at Saragoza on route down....Mmmm have you stopped there before....we did it coming down its like Beirut ....as there was nowt else..... cost us 21 euros + over charged us twice and we was only there the one night...two girls in the office speak very good english charged us for electric even though we kept saying no electric....and we did not plug into to the ehu....but on the bill they disguised it under the word lux ?????....I think it was around 4 euros WHAT! for only a few hours we would be there...
Building works all around you, windy...windy ...windy WOW was it windy and -8c that night...tumble weed blowing all around you
