What an awesome weekend break! Pru took us all the way to North Wales - we can definitely recommend Betws-y-coed! Not even the typical Bristish winter weather could spoil this break as Pru kept us snug and warm. Thanks a million snailtrail - see you in the summer with a string of friends!!
Frankie & Mark October 07

When Frankie and Mark took Pru to Cornwall - Mark had something up his sleeve (an engagement ring!). The weather was perfect, the view over Port Isaac stunning and the answer from Frankie was "yes!". Many, many congratulations to you both on your engagement from all at snailtrail, including Pru of course. We wish you happy, happy times on life's journey together! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos. xx

"We had such a great time and are happily engaged after our holiday with Pru to Cornwall! We went all the way to Padstow and stayed for four days (between 22-26 October), touring around the area, going to Port Isaac (where Mark popped the question!), Constantine Bay (gorgeous beach, lots of surfer dudes!), Bedruthan Steps (where we had a little cove all to ourselves for a bit!), Watergate Bay, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and Gorran Haven, so we crammed a lot in! We even enjoyed some Rick Stein take away fish and chips in the back of Pru!

Rupert & Emily

14/4/07 to 21/04/07

Before you read this blog we have some explaining to do! Prudence was new to our fleet when Rupert and Emily took her to France - at that point she had no name. They named the camper "Archie" - a great name, which we may well have kept. But, oblivious that she had spent a week in France as a boy, we went on to name her Prudence! Just goes to show ... you never can tell... and campers can have their secrets too ...

Having been born and bred a Cornishman I had developed an unhealthy
obsession with VW campers over the years, so I convinced my girlfriend
(also Cornish - who didn't really need convincing!) we should hire a camper
and head down to the South of France.  As the VW Bus adverts of the 60's
used to say, "If you can sell her on this, you can sell her on anything".

14th April 2007
Having picked up our periwinkle blue camper (new to Snail Trail's fleet)
the night before, we headed down to Dover from London and picked up the
early morning crossing to Calais on the ferry.  We had no plans as to where
we could get to once in France and just headed South once we left Calais.
The weather was great and by nightfall we had reached a service station
just south of Lyon (very glam!).


Archie's First Night

15th April 2007

We continued from our overnight stop and reached our first port of call at
Frejus - St.Raphael in the South of France.  The weather was beautiful and
Archie (as we had christened him) had done us proud.  We pulled in to our
campsite at L'Etoile D'Argens and Archie had a deserved rest basking in the
sunshine!

16th and 17th April
We lounged on the beach, by the pool and even took in Monte Carlo for a
day!   We enjoyed a nice juicy steak for supper cooked on Archie's very own
stove.....


Meal in Archie

18th April
Back on the road and down the coast to Port Grimaud.  We found another
great campsite where Archie had a pitch right next to the beach!  Archie
had a great view of the Mediterranean!!!!!

Archie's day out to St.Tropez!

20th April
We had to start heading back to Calais on Friday.  Archie was amazing.  So
easy to drive and he drew the odd hoot from friends passing on the
motorway!  We had a few stops on the way back to give Archie a rest and
take some holiday pics....




21st April
Archie got to go on the ferry again and was at the front again as we headed
back to Dover....

Going Home


There He Is!


Emily and I loved our week away with Archie - he was sssooooooooo cool and
reliable and made our week away in the South of France all the more
memorable.....problem is I want one more than ever now!

Thanks Snail Trail.....

Rupert and Emily

Thank you Rupert & Emily - the photos are great! We're so glad you had a great time with Archie/Prudence! Good to meet you both, hope to see you again x

We regret we no longer hire our campers out for European travel.
