Stayed in Europa Bardolino Lake Garda & Camping Europa in Como. Swimming in Lake Garda was ok. Had to in after the damned dog who wouldn't come out!

Also check out the Bong Fury Fact Sheet on Low Emission Zones around London. If you are travelling in that area they have cameras reading registration numbers and if not registered you could face a £100 fine. Been there but fortunately my van had been registered under the original registration numbe...

Can be purchased at the border or at fuel stations. Check out www.tolltickets.com I never pre-purchased toll tickets but the site will let you know where you need then and the approximate cost. Most countries let you purchase a ticket on a short term basis ie daily, weekly monthly etc. Switzerland y...

If you are travelling through either Austria or Switzerland as we did remember to get a Vignette (road tax)at the borders. I got caught in Austria when I piulled off the motorway to get fuel and it cost me 100 euros. Got through Switzerland without any problem and used GPS for the nearest campsite &...

I'm with Safeguard & have been over the last 3 years. Used the recovery 3 times so far, twice in the UK and once in Germany. Great service from them. German breakdown picked up after around 30 minutes and fixed two hours later.

Having attended the Forth Bridge meet we are disappointed we will not be able to join you at this one. We will still be in Pargue but hope to meet again during the Gairloch outing.

Bit late in replying perhaps but I had my rear matrix disconnected by something on the autobahn near Cologne last September. Hit something on the road while passing a lorry which snapped both inlet and outlet pipes. Recovery service took me to a garage who bypassed the matrix, connected the pipes, r...

Good memory to hold on to. Hope some who were there will be attending the Gairloch meet in May.

For our first attendance at a get together it was good to see so many like minded people. Hope to be able to do this again some time. Sorry we missed everybody at the Hawes Inn.

Tried that but angle was wrong. Thanks for the reply. Thank goodness for Bongo Fury members
