Hi newtrailer and welcome to the forum - we just about escaped the bad weather - got packed up as it was starting to sleet and just made it home in time before the heavens opened!!

We are quite informal but do like to get together to admire our combicamps, so look forward to seeing yours! If you Follow the photos link you can see some photos - we'd love to see some of your new unit Smile

Hi newtrailer - like sooz, we packed up and got home dry. Just had to repair the lighting lead on my combi - it had been dragging on the road on the way TO Kingsbury, and worn through some of the connections.
So having got home at just after 2:00, I've been busy dodging the hail-stones and sleet, rewiring it!

Hi newtrailer - we've stayed at a couple of sites in the New Forest - one at Holmsley

Only registered users can see links on this forum!

and the other at Verwood

Unfortunately, neither of these open until 29th March. If you can't wait that long, why not make a shorter trip to Chertsey

and maybe visit Thorpe park instead of a sea-side pier!
