We're not giving in yet!

I'm still planning at least one more jaunt in Peneeni before we pack down...... 

What a ghastly thought, seems like admitting summer's over and winter's coming....

Does anyone know of a freindly farmer with an empty barn, in or near Wakefield, to dry the unit out if we have wet weather when we're out?  Just thinking of that final pack down...

On the other hand - it means that the next camping season's only just around the corner

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Steve

Surely you could manage just one more  Suffolk next w/end, really good crowd going, you'll miss us

Packing up in wet weather is always depressing but once home you can open it out on drive or garden until it dries out. We use this time to clean the inside and remove linings and towels etc.

Even in winter we have dry cold days when any moisture will soon evaporate as the air circulates. In many ways, a closed garage is a disadvantage as the camper gets cold during the night and then warm moist air of morning deposits dew on the cold surfaces.

Notice the dew on the car in the early morning. When we had a motor caravan we often had ice forming on the inside of the windscreen, whilst we slept, on winter nights.

We also hate the idea of being confined to the house over winter and have even been known to go into hotels to escape the comforts of home. Waking up in a strange bed and living in a big house with lots of strangers soon has us scurrying back to our brick and tile tent to dream of spring time wanderings over hills, vales and beaches. 

Almost there - we also remove the inner tents - to wash and freshen them up for the next season -(Don't bother ironing!).  I take the cutlery and crockery and pans in and put them  through the dishwasher - apersonal foible.

I also leave the in date tins in.
