Really quick, Jeff.  Just been away for four and a half weeks and could have easily stayed for another four and a half.  We've still got October half term left.  We've spent 47 night away in the van so far and with about another 6 night to go, we will easily tip the 50.  There's always a chance of more as well.  It's unlikely we will get away at Christmas, but I never say never.  Like you Jeff, I really don't know where the time goes these days.

I've threatened, when my wife retires and my youngest is in uni., money permitting I will have 6 months off all my other commitments and go away in the van after Easter and come back in October.  Do all Europe!  I reckon about 2017? Just think of all the photos - .

It doesnt seen like five minutes since our first trip of the season to our favourite CL last Easter!  We are severely restricted due to school hols and OH's job (often has to work weekends in summer) so havent had as many weekends away as we'd like, although van has been used for every holiday.

Seriously thinking about a seasonal pitch for next year to maximise weekend and school hols use, although I realise this is whole other can of worms and new territory for us!

We've got October half term week and a bonfire weekend to go and then thats it until next Easter.  We've managed 44 days in the caravan this Summer which is pretty good going as OH has only used 20 days from his work holiday allowance.  My friends have complained that we are never home but we still want more!!!!!  Its whizzed by but we've had some really fab times

I like the idea of siting the van on a year round site nearish to home over Winter so we can still sneak away for weekends, but such sites are few and far between and pricey

Could you not do what i do Annie that is,store it on the site and just pay for a pitch when you need it.I found this a far lot cheaper than a seasonal pitch..
