Favourite place for a winter trip.

Post by nicktennear »

No denying that the best thing you can do with a van in the winter is to drive it. With that in mind where are your favourite places to visit when it's cold and wintery? I love places like Brancaster and Holkham in Norfolk, a bracing walk under dramatic sky and then hot cups of tea and toast in the van. Carson (7) and Ray (5) need convincing that the sea's not good for swimming in but I will fold if someone's optimistic enough to still be selling Mr Whippys in November.

Where's your favourite place to enjoy the Eberspacher?

we usually have a boxing day drive and walk out to filey brigg. bracing is one word, f****** freezing is another two, if the tide is against us a steedy walk from grosmont to goathland and back

Just got back from Betws y coed, camped at Riverside for the first time, because whenever we pass through in the summer it's fully booked. Just wanted a nice relaxing/straight forward journey after sorting out the vans electrics. It's ideal for walking the dogs along the river and nipping to the pubs at night. There is another site on a farm along the Llanwrst road and you can cut across the fields into the village , we're going to try this out later on. One other t25 on site, a couple from the midlands who hadn't heard of 80 90 so i gave him the details and he said he'd check it out.
