I'm off on the Caravan Club Practical Caravanning course tomorrow, Feeling nervous but excited too.  I'll be on my  own so if anyone else is attending this course at Chipping Warden this weekend please come over and say hi to the 50+ lady on her own.  Hope to see someone there. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Yep Marian good for you, you'll be fine and it will give you loads of confidence, enjoy yourself.

I went on one last year and thoroughly enjoyed it,there were only 5 of us on the course and we had loads of time to practice and ask questions. There was one lady booked to be on the course with us men but she didn't turn up.

This is really good information, thank for taking the time to post after you had attended. I've been looking at taking a towing course because I've never towed at all before. My husband does all the towing and being a Lorry Driver I don't tend to get involved at all. But he's working shifts now and we're rarely getting to take the van out at weekends anymore and it just feels like such a waste with all the good weather we've had.

He did say he would teach me everything, but I know it would just end up with us shouting at each other, so I've been looking at going on one of these courses. I was a bit worried about being a complete beginner but it sounds as though it doesn't matter! So I hope I'll get something booked up for September because there isn't anything available in the next month or so when I am around.

Thanks for posting Marran.

The only time I ever towed was about thre years ago when I towed a small trailer behind my tractor along a farm lane - I was ok till I came to reverse then made a complete mess of it, just couldn't get it right at all and my OH had to take over. So yes, I'm most definitely a complete beginner!
