I shall await you arrival, I'm at the top of the field overlooking the drive in from the gate! :D

However, I have a ticket for either day at the show, so may well be in by the time you arrive at the campsite! ;)

I'll try not to drive over your tent ;)

I'll have my sister's caravan, she's not decided if she's coming yet. My brother in law is, as is Dexter and my step nephew, Charlie. Making a boys weekend of it :D

His reason for having one is a goodun.

His ex wife moved to Bognor and took Charlie with her. Rather than paying for a hotel every fortnight, he splashed out 2k on a second hand caravan. Saved a fortune over time ;)

Oh I agree that's one of the BEST REASONS, I wonder how long it took him to get used to the STIGMA associated with towing a caravan? :-o
