Just to say hello to all, couldn't believe there was a site dedicated to wild camping - right up my street!

Am returning to this fantastic way of life following a 6 year break because of family commitments, but now in the market for a van conversion with first trip planned - whole of next April (2012) then for September too! I am a full-time carer and these breaks will be my respite. Have my eyes on a couple of vans but first job is to widen the access to driveway a bit, vehicle will also double for taking a disabled person out in a wheelchair.

Longest trip I've done in past was 6 months virtualy all wild camping in 2003 across France and Spain, overwintering in Mojacar area, with just occasional night on site for essential riddance and restocking! Best months of my life - free as the wind and endless beautiful spots for overnighting.

Trying to decide where to head next April? Have done France, Spain, Belguim and Holland in recent years so fancy a change. Wonder what Greece is like in April?
 
Hi. Germany is good, then you can work your way down. I always start off NE Germany, Ruegen and go down the east side. want to do Slovinia next year :)
 
Thanks folks, yeah Germany is high on my list at present. Might combine it with Poland too. I'm thinking maybe September for that one and either Greece or Italy/Sicily in april. At the moment that is!!! Or.......:lol-053:

i like poland, not been camping but been many times and stopped with a polish family as i knew the daughter...home made vodka from her father was great and got rid of my back ache!!!

been to Italy in Nov and its often very warm and nice.
 
Going to look at a camper this pm. Van conversion Merc. 51,000 miles 2001. It's a bit more than I wanted to pay but it's the biz (I hope!) full service history - 2 owners. Diesel 40 mpg, doesn't look like a camper at all which is what i was after - great for wildcamping methinks....

S. Italy/Sicily looks like a good bet for a poss 3rd trip in 2012 - in Nov/Dec!
