Well the Classic Show was there yesterday but it's not open as Butlins. Someone told me it was a holding centre for immigrants into the South. It's a lovely place and we had a great day. Motorhomes stayed overnight on Saturday night but I don't have mine yet as I can't get a date for the MOT until the 19 th June.

Heading off for the first MH trip to France (and Belgium and maybe even Holland) on the 26th.

Rosslare to Cherbourg (Celtic) Stena Horizon.

Looking forward to it but nervous... Nothing booked but have the aires books so better get reading!

That's the way to do it. we never book anything as you'll always get somewhere to park for the night. Relax and enjoy!
