Weekend Away

Weekend in the New Forest

Posted on August 30, 2012

The New Forest is one of England’s jewels.  And what better way to enjoy all it has to offer than in a brand new T5 Camper 

Having been a ‘caravanner’ for the past six years, I jumped at the chance to take my family away in a brand new Volkswagen T5. Camper for a weekend. Living in Surrey, we decided to…

Peppa Pig World

Posted on August 7, 2012

This month, we head to Peppa Pig World (yes, really!) for a family break by the sea in a T4 California 

Our three-year old toddler, Maizy, was desperate to visit Peppa Pig World, having seen the adverts for the park on her DVD, so we decided to incorporate a visit to the park with a family weekend away in our T4…

Weekend in Cornwall

Posted on June 8, 2012

Mike Clements headed down to the VW Mecca that is Cornwall. This is what he and his clan got up whilst they were there.

With a half-term weekend ahead, we decided to head off to the fabled ‘Mecca’ of the VW Camper – Cornwall.  Given the time of year and destination, the weather was not to be depended on, so plans…

Off to Guernsey

Posted on May 30, 2012

The Channel Islands offer everything – sun, scenery, scarily narrow roads and, if you’re lucky, the odd hurricane thrown into the bargain.  What more could you ask for in a weekend away?

Many years ago my family used to go camping across Europe in our trusty 1969 Kombi, so it really was a trip down memory lane when my friend Ian…

Looe, Cornwall

Posted on April 1, 2012

Looe, Cornwall was the destination for a chilly but enjoyable early camping trip for Mark and Trudie Beech

Last year was our first in a Bus as we had used tents up until then. In a tent you have to wait until April (unless you’re in the SAS or mad) and, as we’d braved two nights in the Bus at New Year…

Lake District

Posted on March 25, 2012

The Lake District was the stunning location for Rob and Emma Bakewell’s short stay in the country
Having previously owned a Type 25 with a hi-top, last year we felt we needed to upgrade to a classic Bay.  We found a neat Camper in great condition in Norfolk and, after a few festivals away in it in 2010, we thought we’d…

A weekend of Vantasia with a super cool custom Bay Window

Posted on August 20, 2010

In our bid to check out the best camper hire companies of the country, this month, our tour finds us in the West Midlands at Vantasia Custom Camper Hire. After loads of great feedback about Steve Gregory’s cool custom late model bay window, Petal, we decided to send our undercover reporters for a weekend away road trip.

To challenge their customer…

Having only recently bought our Camper and battled the initial gremlins of ownership, Jim and I eased ourselves in gently with a little help from our friends Rick and Helen, who told us that they were having a week in a cottage…

Heading off to Bath in a brand spanking new Bay Window from Danbury Motorcaravans

Desperate to get our hands on one of the new Danbury T2 Rios we decided to hire one from their fleet over in Bristol to see what they were like. Our two-week booking was blessed with some of the year’s best weather in…
