Do it - it is quite simply the best holiday you will do. Me and the other half flew into San Fran, did a quick one day tour, then picked up our 25ft RV.

We spent 5 days driving from SF to Los Angeles via Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Pebble Beach (17 mile drive - A-MAH-ZING!!), Hearst Castle, Monteray, Malibu and a couple of other places... probably not in that order as my memory isn't great!!

The views, the places, the fun you will have, will far outweigh any costs you may have to spend!!

It might be fun to do in a funky convertable and stay places, but having your home in the back of the van makes it so, so easy. There are so many camp sites along route one that are reasonably well priced.... some very basic, some with pools and jacuzzis!!!


Was my favourite holiday to date and I would love to go back... wish we had more time to go a little further.

I've never driven SF to LA but have driven LA to SF a few times. It's a great drive and very peaceful. I'm not a camping girl myself (I don't see the point when there are perfectly decent 4 star hotels with room service) but if that's what works for you then there's nowhere better than California. Enjoy.

If.....



If you "do" car camping ( everything goes in the boot, you drive & camp thingy ) then look out for this place


R.E.I.


I used them when I was climbing in & around that area


Join before you go, very good hire deals, from an "air bed" to a "white water raft"


( of course you will need one of those )


But caution when in the shop though. I went a bit mad and bough tons of new climbing kit ( of course I need it all dear ) as it's still way cheaper than here



W**F

When I considered doing this it was expensive and it means spending your holiday driving a truck.


These winniebago's have a very long over-hang from behind the back wheels and you can get into all kinds of trouble if you do not allow for it.


My brother lived for a while in one that was as big as a bus, and it was not an easy thing to drive and less so to manoeuvre.

A GREAT night with you and sazzle at the Clockhouse last night. Even though we found ourselves in the pub quiz and came a respectable middlish - I hope you have a great time and look forward to seeing you both again end of September. Shall we make it another Wednesday? ;)

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
