There are sites quite near to Kendal and Penrith. Never looked near Coniston.

Hi
We nearly had to give up last year due to Oh being told on more towing. I have now taken over the towing we have done a few trips this year so i can get used to it.

I think it's really important that if both of you in a couple can drive, then you should both tow the caravan/drive the campervan or motorhome too. You never know when one or the other of you might be incapacitated during a journey or simply to make the driving less tiring as you get older.
If we had to rely on OH doing all the driving, over the last couple of years our caravan holidays would have become very restricted or even stopped altogether - we certainly would not have been going abroad. As it is, we either share the towing or I do the majority, depending on how he is on the day and journeys are planned to be comfortable for shared or single driving.

I too am having to hang up my jocky wheel due to health and age. All after 50 odd years of camping and caravanning. I love it but it has to end. Happy camping to all those still at it and may you all go on for a long time!
