The Retirement Thread

[172traindriver]

Just booked my car in for its annual service and M.O.T. next Wednesday.

Hopefully not too costly

The Eagle has landed.
All set up and off now for a spot of lunch.

I take it there are sites open all year round down in the south west?

I hope not. I have been lucky so far. Just a new set of tyres about 4 months ago, and new brakes about 6 months ago. Never failed an M.O.T. not yet anyway.

IMO you are over thinking things.
Now as a for instance take John Wayne. He never bothered with all that crap and I dont recall him missing many baddies ......sometimes he got 2 or 3 baddies with just one shot.

Not forgetting the Dirty Harry stance, if you're feeling lucky.

There's sites open all year all around the country.
We only stay on Caravan & Motorhome Club Certified Locations, which are limited to 5 vans.

Never realised that, I thought most would have shut down between the end of October and probably March. Clearly wrong but I am not involved so that would explain my lack of knowledge.

That's what i thought as well.

Used to working outside in colder. Damming a river, chest deep in water, when there was snow on the ground.

A lot of sites do shut over the winter - mainly the bigger ones - but that doesn't affect us. If the only option was to use big organised sites, I'd get rid of the van. We like the peace and quiet of the CLs. They are also a lot cheaper to stay at.
