Probably the week before the euros start so it wont be totally full of football nutters

Looking for inspiration and a little wallet relief, prices seem to have gone through the roof for school holidays this year!CAMPING!
Oh no they won't, will they!
Remember that little chalet from last year?? Find one in the low alps, for 1/2 what Italy cost and drive down!
Lots of nice little (and cheapish) places, like around Die!
ps. I now have 5 weeks camping booked for under £200, and that includes the Mayhem entry fee

House swap with some people who live in a sort of organic farming cooperative in Bavaria - so free accommodation and Pork Deli/Bakery/Brewery/Restaurant on the doorstep - yum
A friend of ours, who acted as matchmaker between the two families lives just across the road and will do some babysitting so the wife and I can take out bikes to the Alps about 40 minutes away sans (ohne) kids.
Might drive via Paris to stay with some other friends on the way.

Daughter going skiing with school for a week in April, so I have hired an vw camper and me and the OH are going round Wales looking at castles and moutains and hills and beaches and the bottom of empty wine glasses.
couple of camping trips round the lakes this year as usual, but no foreign journeys

Trying to put together and save for a trip to NZ - stay with brother and family over Christmas, a week around North Island and trying to sort a house swap in Wellington at present for another two weeks, plus a stop in Dubai on way home/out to see more family for a couple of days.
Depends mainly on cash / pulling off a house exchange...
All other hols = local, cheap, simples this year...Posted 4 months ago # -
A week in a chalet near fort william, just in time for the DH World cup. Downhill and XC bikes coming along for the ride. Might bring the wife and kid as well.

Currently thinking about a motorhome trip to Nordkapp, outward via the Norwegian coast and returning via Sweden. The main issue is it is a LONG way from Scotland now as we have to go via Dover (It is possible to go Harwich - Esjberg, but it is a lot more expensive, for a relatively small distance saving). I really wish the Newcastle -Bergen ferry still ran.
I'm weighing up whether a 6000+ mile trip is feasible in 5 weeks. I don't think averaging 170 miles a day will be fair on our 18 month-old wee fella.
If not, will probably be the Alps again...

Skint as usual but am in the lucky position of the family owning a cottage in St Ives which I can use whenever I want, so I'll have a few weeks down there no doubt.

Already had a week in the house in St Ives, so that's it until the end of the season (October) probably, then will be visits to family in Devon and the St Ives house when not rented out and maybe the other family house in Picardie.
