we are looking for this season or rather talking about trying to pitch our caravan somewhere for say 8 months. the thing is where do we start the reason behind this is my hub works shift work and it means we can only get away when hes off work which is only one weekend a month depending on o/t so hes suggesting pitching it up then i can just get up and go with my daughter and mam instead of staying at home bored so has anyone done this?? and what price range are we talking here guys we were thinking somewhere no more than an hours drive from where we live which is the north east cos i hate driving any longer basically. All suggestions welcome, i feel its a pity that our caravan is not getting used to its full and happy potential.

Hi Makins

We used to have a seasonal pitch for the same kind of reason and it worked perfectly. Our caravan was pitched -the only thing we had to do when we got there was plug the leccy in and fill the water bottle.

We lived in NE (near Blaydon) at the time and had the caravan in the Scottish Borders - it took around 1 hour 20 mins which was a perfect distance.  There was a thread on here about seasonals last week or so - maybe have a search.

As for cost - its about 5 years since we did it - would think about £900-1000 for the full season.

We loved it - if you get a site with a few other seasonals it can be quite social. Our pitches used to be that there was a two pitch gap between each seasonal pitch so you always got chatting to tourers as well.

Why not hitch up and go away without him? Much more fun than going to the same site all the time.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
