Mad as a March Hare Golden Swan: Fri 14 to Sun 16 March 2014

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Oh Cazz that is truly horrible. I saw a photo of your Bongo on Fb and did not make the connection. Most definitely a write off. All I hope is that the insurance company are not playing around with you and you can get a replacement quickly. It says a lot for their crash resistance that you escaped almost unhurt. It looked rolled, or a tree on top of it.

I will be bringing my Eriba for a try out, so you can borrow my Bongo for sleeping in if you need.

I will be there Fri and Sat nights. Possibly Sunday depending on weather.

Thanks Jilly,Mary, Bob and Sue for your kind thoughts and offers. I think all things considered we will have to give this a miss. Jilly it is a definate write off I am afraid. Mary yes it was rolled, and think onto a barrier hence the v shape in roof. Hope to see you all again one day soon. Caz

Don't tell Graham that [-X . He already tells all of his New Forest buddies that the Bongo meets are just a front for swingers parties... :lol:

Should be ok by then, but there is always the car park if that's ok with the landlord. We got bongos anyways

Hi Geoff and Carol. There'll be room but I'm not sure about leccy. Bring a splitter seems good advice. What days are you planning? I'll be there Friday to Sunday afternoon but others staying till Monday.

I've got some string!

we'll probably come for the duration. We have not done anything since early december when we went to Dawlish. It was very wet, and we were on a slope. We placed a plastic grip mat under the front wheels with wheels nearest the "road", which just gave us enough grip. Just as well, as we were by ourselves.

We certainly could use leccy for the heater, but have got a portable gas heater thing that we have never used, so it would be a good trial. We also have a gas monitor, so we should be alright.

So, good, see you all soon!
