Not been to La manga nor on a rally as we prefer to do our own thing but the roads going down there have always been ok when we have used them. We stick to the motorways. If there are problems they are cleared well.

We're off to the Rally at Almafra, nr Benidorm. Not been on a winter one before. We have been on a summer Camping and Caravan Club one and it was fantastic. The stewards will make you very welcome, as will the other campers. There will be organised events like, cycle trips, restaurant meals, games nights, barbecues etc. You can join in as many as you want and are guaranteed to make new friends. You will not regret it. Just take your time and watch the weather reports.

We will be at the La Manga rally for 4 weeks from Feb 2 and then 3 weeks at the Benidorm rally both with the Camping club.

Quite a few people spend between 1  and 26 weeks on the rallies and you will soon meet like minded people.

You can join in the organised events such as walking, cycling, boules and evening dinners in the site restaurant or you can do your own thing but at the same time feeling part of the rally.

This will be our fourth year and will be travelling down through France after using the Hull Zeebrugge ferry.

You can always take the longer but more expensive Portsmouth Santander route and this will only leave you around 550 mile to travel.

Hi Neil, We will be at Almafra 2nd December till 30th January then we go to Bonterra Park till mid February.

Maybe see you there.

See what we mean Ann and Bob, making friends before we even get there. Caravanning is a fantastic lifestyle. We camp whenever we can.

""Mike have you decided on a caravan yet ? ""

For the moment it looks like we will settle for a 2008 Abbey GTS 418 which is available from the dealer who is selling our Burstner, this means that we will not have to part with any cash as it will come out of the motorhome sale whenever that happens. The Abbey is also suitable for a bike rack as  discussed in another thread and the dealer has confirmed today that as he is a Swift dealer he can fit it with no problem.

We have however just recieved the Burstner Caravan brochure so depending how we feel with the Abbey we may order a Burstner in a few months time.

I have already exchanged my Volvo V70 for an XC90 so all we need now is the van which hopefully will be available next week.
