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? ;)

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
