Travels with Prudence ...

25/02/08 Steve, Sarah & Milli	Had a great time in Pru visiting family in Suffolk and Kent. Was a trial run as we're thinking of buying a camper ... want one all the more now! xx
07/12/07 Paul & Bree	Simply a dream come true!!! Had a brilliant weekend in Suffolk, cycling in Thetford and a day in Bury St Edmunds.
26/10/08 Bridget & Cynthia	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!

Kate & Richard September 07	A lovely adventure with Prudence in North Norfolk - Sandringham and then Stiffkey. thanks to Kate & Richard for this fantastic postcard - wish we were there!
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! Archie at L'Etoile D'Argens 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!!!!! Rupert, Emily & Archie - Port Grimaud Plages Sur La Mer 19th April 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.
