    The sooner we can holiday abroad again the better.

    Rather stay at home than holiday in the UK.

    Depends on what type of holiday you're after. If it's involving small kids and you're after some good weather for them to do the seaside thing, then forget it, unless you get really lucky. If you're travelling with another adult or adults, then walking, exploring an area is fantastic if you're into that kind of thing. The UK landscape and the history is fantastic, although if, like me, you've been bringing up kids for the last 26 years, then an 'adult' holiday is an alien concept. I can honestly say that i wouldn't know what to do if i had to spend a week or so with just my missus, without any kids, as all of our holidays have sort of been their holidays if you know what i mean.

    Can't stand Caravans or caravan parks, they remind me of my time growing up on council estates with little privacy and i've stayed in so many caravans while digging it with work, the smell of them turns my stomach Plenty of British B and B's and small hotels are 'royston Vasey' weird little set ups, i'd rather stay in a Travelodge. The UK is expensive for what you're getting, i do like Northern Spain and the Basque region, it's not so hot and i like the food and Culture of the region, the people are lovely as well.

    I had never stayed on campsites before last year. I bought a modest campervan to use when walking the South West Coast Path and the sites I stayed at were very civilised, I have to say. As my trips involve 5 friends joining me for each weekend concerned I have looked into alternative accommodation but a room at a Travelodge in Devon can exceed £100 a night in the coming months.

    Some of the more 'real' campsites are really nice and well maintained. I think that there are plenty of like minded people that use them and dare i say it, punters who take their holidays quite seriously, in terms of preparation and what they expect out of a campsite. They're not usually mugs. Have you considered travelling into europe in your Van? Some of the french and Spanish sites are incredible, they cater for every type of person, and they're spotless. I've driven down to southern france and spain about 6 times and camped at independent campsites. Fantastic experience.

    I don't think we're going anywhere abroad for a while.
