no probs. Its worth checking to make sure of the costs, its been a while, but i cant imagine them changing all that much. What part of bristol/bath will you be visiting, if you dont mind me asking.

Hi Craig were taking the caravan to a small site in Tellisford ( half way between Bath and Warminster on A36) I have toured around that area when I was little with mum and dad, I now want to see the SS Great Brittan, Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole again this time with the better half and the screemimg mass of rug rats!! Is Yeovilton and the Fleet Air Arm museum any good?

its a great museum, i believe its about 40 mins from where your gonna be, maybe a little less. with my dad working at the base i have ended up going a few times and you always see something new. Concorde and the aircraft carrier are definatly the best bits. If you go on a week day your likely to see the apache flying around, and also quite a few lynx and gazelles possibly a few harriers to, they have a really good viewing deck in the museum.
