Your right, it is about 450 miles to Portsmouth from Hamilton , that's why I said towing was about 1000miles. Total driving 2700 miles. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Thank purplemadboy. Bilbao and Santanderjane next to each others.
Yes it is a long way from Northumberland but it's worth it. A nice town where mountains and sea met. Costa del Sol but East of Malaga so town and villages still retained their moorish past. We are going there for a couple of months to escape the cold. Very Happy

I saw in this months caravan club mag a couple of places near Malaga that do a "winter break" for a couple of months , I like the idea of that but I would miss my sky tv. I'm pretty sure I couldn't pick sky up with a Scottish dish that far south.
What site do you go to paxman ? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Sky can be received on a average dish, about 60cm, Sky is still on the Euro beam transponders, however BBC and ITV which are on the UK spot beam, even with a Sky decoder set top box will be unobtainable unless you are on a 1.2m diameter dish my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Hi Purplemadboy, no we have a little house near Nerja but there is a camp site call "Nerja Camping"

http://www.nerjacamping.com/about-us.php

which is near Maro, a little village, and less than 1Km to the beach. Last year I came to see this camping place to find out if we could camp and spoke to a few Brits there and they all likes the place. Regarding Sky TV I am not sure but I think people can get sky by "CS".
