Attempt two at camping

 Having bored easily of the foreign holidays, a pool and a posh hotel are lost on us.We are active up and out all day kinda people.Wanting to explore the area and culture.We were looking at other ways in which we could spend our valued holidays from the daily grind known as work.

A chance conversation with a neighbor gave us both what we had been craving.
A caravan of our own to tour up and down the country at our leisure.

So the research began what caravan /storage/berth/towing.We knew nothing but it didn't take long to find out what we really needed to know.There are some great forums out there with lots of advise freely available to the novice.

Storage would be at my parents home as they have a large accessible garden,this saved greatly on finances as we found storage is not cheap.A damp meter for the all important check of the caravan.
Our then car could legally tow thanks to the tow check. 

After searching everywhere and anywhere we found Lincoln.An aged but respectable looking Abbey Lincoln two berth caravan.Hubby was going to view as I was at work Remembering to take the extended towing mirrors he set off with my father.

On my return home a delighted hubby greeted me with Lincoln.

Our next few weekends were spent applying our own personal touches and some D.I.Y. repairs.
A cracked shower tray gave hubby the chance to make his own from fiberglass and resin coating.
While I busied myself with new loose covers to hide the hideous pink dated originals.Amongst our purchases was a fantastic canvas awning to give that outdoor feel.On arrival of the awning I fell in love with the canvas and original curtains, Tulips on a white background so fresh and modern looking for such an old awning.
