Choose The Right Caravan Park

March 6, 2010 - 7:27 am No Comments

I’ve always been one for the road me, but the more digital everything gets, the more confined we are to our tiny spaces. Don’t get me wrong, I love the internet – I mean, here I am writing a blog! But I’ve always done things in extremes and have opposing enjoyments. For example, each year I take a caravan trip and insist on being undisturbed the whole time. No mobile, no nothing – even when we get to the caravan park where there are more facilities. Yet, the rest of the year, my mobile is literally my lifeline and I spend most of my week in front of a screen. And I actually enjoy that ying and yang. I guess because work is so computer focused, you get used to it. And as a kid, I loved technology and was a computer game hound – commodore 64 anyone?

Anyhow, carvanning is the ‘yang’ of my life and I don’t want to upset it. I guess because I have done it for so many years, it is just a solid part of my yearly routine – I know exactly what to do and where to go – it feels kind of natural to me. And getting to the caravan park always brings a sense of familiarity, as well that great holiday feeling. The caravan park we went to last year in Devon was just incredible. I hadn’t visited before but it has an incredible atmosphere. I can’t wait to go again!
