On the Road Again!

Wow. With Motorhomes and Camper Vans still selling beyond the expectations of many in the industry it does seem rather odd that when someone wanting to spend money is ignored totally. It's a week since I contacted the two next nearest Certified Locations of the Caravan Club to enquire about an overnight stay in easy range of Bosworth.  Neither has bothered to get back to me. At least the other one did say that they weren't taking bookings this year. So I have expanded the diameter from the battlefield.  One more to try. If this proves to be another blank then I'll go elsewhere to spend my hard earned cash! I have also sent an SMS to one of them as the contact number was for a UK mobile. Let's see shall we?

A short update on the last posting about a CL near to the Bosworth Battlefield. I got an email from them this morning to say that due to escalating costs that they wouldn't be taking booking for their certified location this year. It was a bit of a surprise as they are still showing up on the CAMC booking site as being available. This CL is only 3.5 miles from the battlefield. I dropped a line to the CAMC office that deals with CL's to let them know. No reply. So it's back to the drawing board.   I have found another couple. One that's only 11 miles away and another around 15 miles. Again it's not bookable online and so I have emailed both to see if one of them can accommodate us.  Both another with EHU. So it's a bit of w ait and see.

So here we are.  Spring Staycations give way to Summer Staycations! This time we are going away for a special occasion. Claire has been invited to the "Guide Dogs Experience Day" at the centre near Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. It's a Friday in July. Our first thought was to check that weekend was free and that we could take the Moho! It is free and she enquired whether we could park the Moho in their car-park.  Both have positive answers! We will have only been back from Awaycation Summer #1 to France for a fortnight and so we need to careful about the pennies we are spending. On the other hand, Having a motorhome and not using it isn't that cost effective or value for money either. I checked to see what sites there are near to the Centre.  There's really only one, and it worked out at £44.50 a night for the three of us. Reggie obviously has to come. Once Claire received confirmation that she was on the guest list, I set about looking for places at a more reaso...
