Is that pikey pensioner causing trouble again? Pikeys and custard everywhere.

Oh! Did I forget to mention the proper cooking and washing up facilities......

I won't mention the toilet as that will start Tunnie off again

Yeah, being able to do your morning rituals in your wardrobe. That's sure to make him jealous.

This is my big problem with camping/caravaning/motorhoming. I can do uncomfortable beds, poor catering facilities, wind, rain, snow, earthquakes, alien invasions, no tv, whatever, but I WILL NOT compromise my S S & Shave routine, absolutely not.

A while ago SWMBO and I stayed on a houseboat type thing in Sheffield City Centre, It was not cheap, not far off the same price as the Hilton Hotel right across the road. The toilet had some kind of cassette thing. There was a sign giving a phone number to call if it got full. Nice !

SWMBO would love a motorhome/campervan thing. My view is only if it has a decent bog & shower, and that means big and modern, and that means expensive, and that means NO.

Camping can be comfortable if you got a decent walk in tent , only downside is the toilet facility but on site ones are always available . Just remember to keep an empty plastic bottle handy

............
The advantage to me is I can sleep in my own bed that no-one else has slept in, it's mine, if I don't like where I am I can move on.

Not cheap I'll grant you, but is anything these days?

We've had seven mini breaks in it so far this year, and more to come.

Agreed  .... and if you buy new, no-one has sat on your bog either. 

I'm sorry to see the end of caravanning but work commitments mean I don't get to use it enough, with the last time it was used being at Newent 2012. 
It's a lot of money to just sit on my driveway. If you can get away regular then they are great to have. 

Anyway, has it stopped raining there yet?

Our van goes to a seasonal pitch at Crail around Easter and stays there until novemberish. It's a 40 minute drive from home and about the same time to workk for both of us if required. She works in school so lots of time in the area. Good clean shower block 30 yards away. Facilities in the van only used for the midnight visit. View is superb - but sometimes draughty!

Will post a pic in a bit when I get a chance...

View from our pitch. From right to left. Van and awning extreme right. 10 minute walk to village and shops. Edinburgh across the river. North Berwick. Isle of May. Then North Sea and next stop Norway.

Nice view. 

I briefly considered putting ours on a seasonal pitch for family to use but I wouldn't be happy with it out of my sight.

That's all ours is used for, clarified for Tunnie, is case he reads this
