And I can't wait!!
Will be leaving Torbay early on the Thursday morning, travelling to Oxford with another Motorhoming friend, before heading to the Classic Camper Club National in Godmanchester, Cambs.
Will probably leave there on the Monday and travel back to Oxford to overnight on the tuesday.
I'll then be floating the countryside, possibly along the South Coast until the friday when I'll be off to the Southern Mini Days at the Hop Farm in Kent.
Will probably leave there on the Monday morning and take two days travelling back to the Bay.
I can't wait as I need the rest!! Crying or Very sad

Would anyone have any details of sites, steam railways, nature reserves and other tourist attractions that could be visited between Oxford and Kent?

Will be good to give Buzz a good run!!!!!

Cheers for any advise,
Glenn

ttry the bluebell railway at Horstead keynes - excellent well run railway. Good parking in upper yard for larger setups (no prblem with jiffyvan with height barriers?). You may also get an overnight there if you ask nicely

And the Watercress line Alton - Alresford, Lovely old steam trains on a 10 mile route through beautiful countryside. Parking at both stations no problem.

Didcot Railway Centre is worth a look:

There is a huge car park nearby ( for the station) but I think it has height barriers. Best to ring up and ask the railway centre people first.

Didcot's OK but no real length of track to run trains on. You can park in the housing estate north of the railway & walk through (my son lives on the estate!) Access from either end (best past power station - follow signs to Didcot Town FC).

Cheers for the help, i'm going to do my 'route' this week (hopefully) and list the places to visit along the way.

Getting Buzz ready, and after a bit of a kerfuffle, we have some new wheels!!!

What do you think??? (please don't ask which pram i nicked them off, i've had that already!!!) Wink

Hi jiffyman. I have pften wondered about your type of Motorhome. Do you get a lot of condensation? I looked at a few several years ago and that was one thing that made me think twice. Wink
