But this year we have decided to visually document each trip and then do one of the Movie Maker home vids with music and commentary each time we go away, for those long winter months without tent!

Does that count?




It does if you post them all on here for us to watch in the long winter months

I think people would be interested and would buy a book to read nats and Jan P. Would also show how things and places have or haven't changed over the years

Hi - my Mum did the same - log of journey time, weather (wet), where we went etc. Also had store of my sister's camping postcards: "Frogs on holiday. Wet" just about sums them all up! Hoping for better this year after all this snow... how about a special area on this site webmaster for holiday snaps/memories?

Even in the six years I've been on here three of the sites I did reviews on have gone to statics. It seems that the "nice" sites see that as progress. Several of our favourites have become seasonal pitches only as well. When we were first married we never thought to book and everyone just turned up. I think that and ehu are the biggest changes. The weather remains dodgy !!!

I always buy a fridge magnet from wherever we visit. Bit naff I know but anything else would just get put somewhere and never be seen again (including scrap books - or the mice would get them)

We do this too! Every day I glance at where we have been when getting the milk out the fridge!

  A couple of years agome and the now adult children tried to log our camping trips. the years and trips merged into each other and we couldn't get a definative result had to rationalise things by saying ALL CAMPING IS GREAT.
