Mucker1884 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Still be away camping (York) for the night of Jan 1st, heading home on the 2nd. 5 nights camping in Bruges over the Easter break (Still to book the camp site, but Eurotunnel is booked). Will no doubt have the usual two x 14-18 night camping trips somewhere on the continent, one in late May/Early June, then same again for September. The rest we'll just make up as we go. Still not in any rush to return to the hustle, bustle, and hanging around in airports, just yet, so still not done that since the Jan before lockdown (2019?). That can wait, while we're content enough to keep driving over the channel, in our own little cocoon, and keeping to more informal timetables!

More importantly, how do you persuade another person to join you, in a tent, in December? Reggie Greenwood and Mucker1884 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we will be cheating on this one... spending the evenings (inc. NYE) in the caravan next door (niece & partner), which comes with fancy heating, sofas, and a telly! (Love a bit of Jools on NYE). No doubt a 2am stagger back to a cold tent though! Thankfully, our winter sleeping bags are fleece-lined (Designed for fishermen who sleep out in the open or in a bivy). ? Would much prefer cold and crisp, to slightly milder but wet! EDIT: Or... Something like this would be our preference... (Feb 2013, Buxton): I know nothing and Rev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt you pointed out to her it’s also your silver wedding (assuming you’re married to each other?) and she’ll be going halves on the cost.

Cisse Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'm hoping to make two trips. First time ever to Spain and then a very exciting trip to Belper and Derby. Can't wait. Ewe Ram, angieram and Eddie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 We'll probably go to Bruges or Ostend during early summer. Our usual trip to Mevagissey, staying at the Little Cornisb B&B, is no more. Andy and Howie have closed for good and retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Fly to Mallorca on the 26th. Don't mind admitting I'm bricking it. First time flying for 20+ years. Last time I went away, had a huge panic attack on the plane, passed out and yeah, wasn't great. Mine and the Mrs 1 year wedding anniversary. Not like I'm scared of flying, or thoughts of crashing anything like that. My anxiety has always come from being in situations I can't easily walk out of. 30,000ft in the air prime example. Saying that, recently done a couple trips to Rotterdam overnight on the ferry, can't just jump out in the North Sea....same thing right....that's what I keep telling myself 😬 Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a period of a few years when I got terribly anxious on takeoff. That was the result of an emergency landing many years ago. My reason for posting was only because I managed to overcome it. I look at the people around me, the staff and take time to make myself really comfortable. Books and music help me relax. Also ordering everything possible from the food and drink menu. Hope the trip is brilliant! angieram and Day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
