Title: Another Annual Thread .... Holiday's
Post by: SIR Philbutt on 09 June 2012, 15:08:23
Where or What are you doing this year for a holiday break ?

Especially if you are using your mig  :y and what will you be doing to prep it  :-*

I am off to the caravan (static) in the South of France, St Tropez area (again) in the 03. Brakes, oil & filter, plugs, tyres checked & balanced, LPG tweaked and maybe cam belt as it is almost 30K since last done (would you do it ?)

Two of the kids in the back. Boot will be loaded up as our 20yr old daughter will be with us  ::). Three weeks this year, what the hell  :P

Well looking forward to it this year especially. Don't know why probably because work has been light this year  :(

HS&E warning  ;) Please do not put specific information etc etc so as to reveal to unscrupulous (_o_)'s

Yes, and you're quite right to do so - I regret not doing the same when I was your age.

Hence Scotland, I wanted to get that in while I could. I went all over America few years ago, thanks to my Uncles cheap flights. I can no longer get Business class return for £90, got to do these things when you have the chance/funds/health!

No plans to take the either Omega anywhere this year. The Silver Bullet went to Somerset in March for a week, but thats hardly a 'trip'.  It will obviously be taking me to an airport in the summer.

Apart from Lakes and/or Newent, a short mini-break to Northern France and Paris is on the cards for September as we have free tickets for EuroDisney :y Other than that we're going to be saving to try and get out to Australia in April/May and seriously look at our future in the UK ;)

Thinking about doing an overnighter up there, then meander back down to Dorset over a few days visiting friends!  :)  Think I'll have to get a set of tyres tho....  :-\  They're getting abit worn and I was hoping to hang on to them till the winter, but driving through some heavy rain the other day has convinced me otherwise!!   ::) :(

Accept my apologies Raif:
I (somehow) wrongly thought that you were going to Brean - Home Farm at Burnham's a very good choice mate!
Had our first-ever touring 'van holiday there, and subsequently several others too.

You have a nice time. Enjoy yourselves! :y :y :y :y :y
