Swift Charisma 540 - Your first look

A video showing the inside of our newly acquired caravan (February 2011) Swift Charisma 540.
If you are thinking of buying one then this video will give you a good look around to see if this is what you wanted.
You can see the layout of the kitchen including fridge, duel fuel cooker and shower room and toilet.
This caravan sleeps 5 with the bunk bed in place and has 2 separate seating areas which is a good idea to keep your adults away from the kids for meals or playing games.
It is really easy to tow with a Alko Stabiliser and has a nice weight distribution.
We have had this caravan for 2 years and it is still giving us pleasure and the chance to see new places.

Summer Holidays - Where to go? What to do?

So we are starting to finalise our summer holiday and I think Wales is going to come out on top.
We are going to go on a week long rally but with electric hook-up.
The rates for rallies are very reasonable and if you get a hook-up as well then it makes for a holiday that doesn't cost the earth.
Most rallies need you to pre-book a ehu and pay a small deposit.
If you don't need ehu then you can just turn up.
 .....Update.......
We've sent our deposit off and we are heading to Anglesey for a week on a proper campsite but not paying the sites full prices, because we are going as part of a district association. This means that the DA has negotiated a cheaper price to rent a field and we then sub rent off the DA and it makes for a much cheaper holiday.
Hopefully our friends are coming along as well and this is always a good idea. We can spend nights and days in each others' company and share the ideas for what to do and where to go.

Let me know in the comments below if you are planning on going to Wales for your main holiday this year.

18th trip - St.Ives Cambridge - last of 2011

Our eighteenth trip was to St.Ives in cambridge for 3 nights at the end of October 2011.
The site is pleasantly located near a river and an old mill - Houghton Mill.
We were here to visit our Auntie talkalot, so we ended up doing stuff that pleased her rather than our usual stuff, but we still had a good time.
This was our last trip in 2011
