BKen1 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just been looking for a place to stay in or near Madrid for the Air Show in October and came across this video showing the New Aire inauguration meeting in Pinto just south of Madrid earlier this year.... a little bit dramatic music but interesting footage. Looks ideal for what I want the aire that is will be there in October . Enjoy Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 BKen1 - 2014-09-18 11:57 AM Nice spot ...dont keep us in suspense ..where is it Lenny ??? Saints Marie's de la Mer , only little town with loads of good fish restaurants, has 5 Aires this one is the wild one on East side of town, nice once the vans either side of us moved. Suffering at the moment now in St. Remey de Provence for the Jazz festival had to go to a site, now I know why the boss hates sites although it's quite nice as sites go you feel imprisoned give us an Aire any day, Have to remember some stupid code to get back in after 8 pm how's that going to work after the beer, wine & Jazz. Also have to leave by midday sites are real stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 A follow up to my one night on a site experience. Warm night so everyone has doors & windows open, so of course there is one Frenchman who has to have his TV loud enough for everyone on site to hear, heard a car driving around site at 4:30am, all pitches had 15 foot high hedges (I like hedged pitches but not that high) so no sun and to cap it all they lost my Camping Card. Fared much better the next couple of nights found a great wild spot in the Aprilles only a couple of miles from town and with some great walking.

Guest Had Enough Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 lennyhb - 2014-09-18 6:02 PM Have to remember some stupid code to get back in after 8 pm how's that going to work after the beer, wine & Jazz. Also have to leave by midday sites are real stupid. Here's a tip. If you're in the habit of coming back drunk, write it on a bit of paper, it's not rocket science. And I think that most of us can work out why hotels and campsites have a leaving time. I can just imagine your response if you arrived on a site at 4.00 pm to be told that you couldn't pitch up because the previous occupant hadn't left. I suspect that you may have been banging on about 'stupid sites' again. *-) And as for feeling 'imprisoned'. Give us a break! *-) The only time I feel imprisoned is on aires with a 'van four feet on either side of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Frank is just greedy expecting 4 ft either side of him on an Aire, he has obviously never been on a busy one. :D I will admit I'm not too keen on ones when you have to retract your step to get the next door van in.

shirles Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well here in nz you have to vacate sites by 10am so don't feel too hard done to.And up here in the north island the roads are shaking our auto-trail delaware to bits so thinking of downsizing to a pvc when our 2 years from importation are up and we can sell it without paying the duty.We've both missed our trip to france this year(especially for the food) but well compensated by wonderful scenery out here and different attitude to motorhomers unlike the petty minded councils in uk.Plenty of places around here to wild camp but you must be certified as self contained.And most people seem to want a camper or caravan or rouncd here a boat. You see lots of used buses from japan that have been converted to campers because new ones are very expensive to buy.But the culture is here and noone looks down on these old buses trundling about.So i think we'll be staying here cos we love it.
