A WARM WELCOME

Duration

Two nights

May 2023

Why?

Getting to know our new Chausson Welcome, while exploring around Cirencester in the spring sunshine

‘Of course, we had to make a stop to sample a local pub, and The Bear Inn fitted the bill well’

We had set aside the morning to get to know our new home-on-wheels. We’d only been its proud owners for a week and needed to figure out what all the knobs and buttons do, as well as deciding where to store everything – I keep finding little nooks and spaces waiting to be filled. But the sun was out, there was an undiscovered town to explore, and to top it off, it was market day. The knobs and buttons would have to wait – we were off for a walk!

Testing times

We were staying at Cirencester Park Caravan & Motorhome Club Site, 90 minutes from home – far enough for a decent test driving a vehicle rather longer than our previous ‘baby’ Hymer and putting it through its paces, but not too far, ‘just in case’ (of what? I don’t know, but I’m always channelling my inner girl guide!).

The excitement
