Yes, you'll find that type of socket pretty much everywhere. Enjoy your trip.

From this Thurs (9 June) to Sunday we'll be taking a quick trip around West Wales, then back via the Black Mountains. Planning to stay at three of the campsites listed in Coolcamping (www.coolcamping.co.uk):
1. Dews Lake Farm at Lamphey near Pembroke
2. Porthclais Farm at St David's
3. Llanthony Priory in Vale of Ewyas (in the Black Mountains, on our route homewards).

I used to get taken to a lot of the beaches in Pembrokeshire when I was a small boy (Freshwater, Saundersfoot, Pendine - okay that one's in Carmarthenshire) and I remember them as the Best Beaches in the World... but I'll let you know how we get on this weekend!

Kicking this tread up as we take off in a week now....
Any tips on great sites (campsites)and places to spend the night at great spots (freecamping) are more than welcome.
Those coming to the meet at the Lower Lode Inn feel free to come over and chat as we wil be there.....

Been only once to the UK with the Cali on two diffrent campsites and the hook-up was with the blue three pin plug on those sites , guess it is that way in most sites?
We only need a adaptor for the wifes hairdryer i think....

Hi Wim, we will be at Lower Lode and look forward to meeting you, if you're going to North Wales we should be able to help.

All the UK sites have the same mains connectors.

If you like bird watching and you are ar Tewksbury check out Slimbridge wildfowl trust. Spend 50 p to buy birdfood to feed the diving ducks - hilarious! Makes me grin just thinking about it

Is that great in Wales or great for Wales ?

PS. For the record I love Wales

Went to Wales last week - was supposed to go to North Yorkshire, but weather was so bad we diverted. At the last minute we checked into http://www.walescaravanandcamping.com/ with minimal research.

Good location - small reservoir nearby for fishing, bird watching, near Bike Park Wales for excellent mountain biking.

Basic but clean facilities. The camping field was very hilly, but we were there in half term and still plenty of flat areas to use.

The main problem were the midges - I guess it was because we were close to the resevoir, but after 3 days of lovelly weather there were swarms of midges! Maybe this is because there has never been 3 days of sun in a row in Wales before???

Are midges a problem all over Wales or were we just unlucky?

Its still hot here in Warwickshire, so I hope you're in for some nice weather in Wales.

Very humid lately so the occasional thunder and lightening but not much rain oddly.
