What are you up to this weekend?

[Nedge68]

Picking up our first Mo Ho!

 

[scousebird]

Away for a week at a CL near Totnes before I go to hospital for a operation on Tuesday 23rd,

Good luck with the operation

Meant to post this at the time, but just over a week ago we stayed on the Camping & Caravanning Club’s pop up site in Margate. It was near enough to my 89 year old Dad’s care home that I could walk over there and accompany him back in the wheelchair taxi.

He and my mother were lifelong caravanners and motorhomers (switching between the two for ever, as they always saw the advantages of the one they didn’t have!). We first went caravanning in the 60s, 4 of us and dog in a tiny 10 foot caravan with gas lighting and no loo or shower! Dad’s last trip, aged 85, was to take his motorhome to the south of France to revisit old family haunts. After that Dad became wheelchair-bound, and he had to sell his motorhome and move into somewhere with nursing staff and 24 hour care.

So it was nice to be able to take Dad to a campsite again, and cook lunch for him outside. Rog slow roasted a salmon, which we had with asparagus, new potatoes and hollandaise.

Dad loved it, and is asking when we can do it again!

Fishing a charity gig in aid of Kidney Research Friday to sunday could be a long hot weekend but worth it. Then home to take the missus out for a nice sunday Lunch for her Birthday

Picking up our first Mo Ho!

Check EVERTHING. Then check again, don't take or believe anything the sales person says as gospel. Only drive of when you are 110% satisfied. If possible take a friend who can be critical, as you will be to excited and just want to get away. Good luck and happy travels.

 

[AlunandFelicie]

That is wonderful. Great that the care home provides a wheelchair access taxi service. I hope I can find a care home like that and maybe I can persuade them to do a van conversion and take me away for weekends.

HRH and i are going for a little run of about 50 miles on the Gold Wing stopping at a lovely little village train station that has a nice cafe attached to it. Photo maybe forthcoming.

 

[Smudger55]

Weekend at Bay View Bolton-le-sands, family gathering, sister over from Australia, said our farewells tonight as she flys back tomorrow. Also fortunate to see some cousins who had popped up to see mum, so great weekend for family get together.

How's it going Nedge68? Have you filled the fuel tank yet? Or emptied the toilet cassette?

Sadly they don't - I had to hire a wheelchair taxi and didn't have a lot of time to ring around, so it was 50 quid return trip. Will see if I can find anything cheaper, but it was basically an ambulance so not a super cheap vehicle to buy I imagine.

It was great - filled and emptied both the fuel tank and the loo! 700 miles in 2 days to get alarm fitted. We love the van, so that’s a relief! Off to the torchlight festival this weekend

 

[denisejoe]

Just got our van back so going to a rally near Margate for the weekend (hopefully - looks like we need to book).

Is that the one on Hartsdown Academy playing fields? If so, that's where we took my father for lunch.

[Go_buddy_go_]

Tootling over to Warwick for day drinking and an evening meal! The joy of not having to get a taxi or book a b&b!!

 

[bigwood]

It’s Flying Proms time so we are off to Shuttleworth for the weekend. We have warned muttly there will be fireworks after the proms but he didn’t seem too fussed.
Rather than coming home on Sunday we are going to try the site at Lyndon Top on Rutland Water. Tuesday we are meeting lady muck, my eldest sister for a pub lunch. She won’t lower herself to come to the site or invite her to her place. Muttly wouldn’t like her dogs anyway.
