Grizzly

Many thanks Gerald. It cheered a miserable morning and made me dust off my passport in hope.

Are there more in the pipeline of past holidays ?

Thanks, Jock and Rita. I appreciate that.

Grizzly - this is our first year of motorhoming, so France was our first big holiday since we got the thing. We're going away at half term (between the NEC show and the Binton rally), so I'll do something for that.

Glad it cheered you up. Check out the traumas of levelling ramps in the Shepton report on my main blog.

"Ramps were nonchalantly dropped and nudged into place with my foot – a particularly suave action, which I thought would get the watching audience nodding silently in appreciation."

Gerald,

I loved this; we must chat about writing at Binton.

I must confess that as a caravanner, I prided myself on reversing onto the pitch and levelling using the car. Some, though, have no shame. I, with many others, watched a chap making an absolute hash of reversing his caravan for at least ten minutes, before finally admitting defeat and getting out the magic mover and steering the van by hand. I know he's got to practice reversing somewhere, but if I were that incompetent I wouldn't choose to prove it in front of so many, particularly if I had a magic mover to hand. I was, nevertheless, left with a gnawing doubt that his values were more honorable than mine.

I guess I hold to the adage that it's one thing to be an idiot but quite another to open your mouth and prove it.
