Newbie, we've found one at last.

Hi folks
Just a quick introduction, we are Pat and Steve from Rye East Sussex, I'm a plumber and Pat works in the local vets, both of us are lucky to work a 3 day week. We have been looking for a California for what seems forever but have finally found one in night blue a 2.0 180 4 motion 2012 and should be collecting it after Easter, can't wait!!!!
We are not complete strangers to this life, having camped under canvas for many years, especially as the boys were growing up. When they flew the nest we had a Peugeot Starfire but had to sell it as we moved house. Now at last we can settle down to enjoy a van.
The first couple of nights are booked in our friends field and then, if all goes well we'll be heading down to Provence (any suggestions of routes/ aires/ farm stays much appreciated).
Looking forward to meeting up with you all sometime this summer, I'll probably ride my T140 Bonnevile as she'll get jealous if left in the garage !


Steve and Pat.

Hi Pat and Steve
Welcome
We are in Heathfield and pass through Rye quite often on our way to Camber to run the dog (and the girls!)
There are quite a few of us in East Sussex.
Wave if you see us

Welcome Pat and Steve. Very envious of your 3 day week lifestyle. That'll give you plenty of time to maximise the use of your Cali. Enjoy!
