Surely am, Jamie....only live 15 miles away, so gotta do it. Was only going to come for the day, but suppose with a "Pikey wagon" in tow could stay overnight.
Be nice to see you all and put a few faces to names, etc. PLUS the fact I have a few bits to bring for a couple of people too, and have loads of beer left over from my party, so need to use it up before it goes out of date.......(thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.....)
Yeah, stay overnight :y

For your first trip, probably best to be near home, as if anything unexpected happens, less of a problem :y

Are you towing, and are you limited to 50mph on A roads? ;)



That said, I have fond memories of our trailer tent as a child.  But camping is camping. Caravanning is simply pointless ;)

Nah, can do 60mph towing this, its only the same as a normal trailer tent closed, about 15x7ft. Weighs bugger all, and should'nt affect mpg too much.
looking forward to using it next week, fancy a couple of nights away.

Now I couldn't possibly comment about the rights or wrongs of occasionally allowing the car to creep over the speed limit...
