MAIDEN VOYAGE
After staying local during lockdown, David and Karen made the bold decision to head from Dover to Scotland! “We spent 17 days away and completed 2,367 miles, trouble-free. The campervan proved to be a comfortable abode and adequate in size for our needs. We did use an awning on occasions, for additional space, but this wasn’t essential as we mainly experienced very pleasant weather for outdoor living.” “The highlights of our journey included magnificent scenery, wildlife sightings, pleasant walks, wild swimming and excellent Scottish hospitality. Now we are very much looking forward to further adventures.”
HEADING TO EUROPE? As well as taking advantage of the sights and activities in the UK, many campervan owners love touring campervan-friendly France, Portugal and Spain. Experienced travellers love to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, warmer climate and of course some of the regional culinary delights. There’s a network of aires de service to try, as well as full-facility campsites in beautiful regions. If you have a good phone signal, Google will help you to find the nearest Aire. Consider buying guide books to the aires in the countries you will be visiting. For instance, you might choose All the Aires France North and South Together books or All the Aires Spain and Portugal, All the Aires Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, published by Vicarious Media. The series is the original and best listing for these cheap and free camping spots for campervans
