I bought a place in Kamloops last summer... couldn't afford in the lower mainland.  Do I miss the rain... no, do I miss the traffic on the coast... hell no, but is there much of a VW group up here... not really esp aircooled.  It's a good place to raise a family, and there is a lot to do if you're into the outdoors.  But if you're young and looking for a heavy night life Kamloops is kind of a sleeper
It's like any place, there's good and there is bad.  But you can do a lot worse then Kamloops.
Best of luck


Maybe we can increase the size of the group out there. My in Laws are in Kamloops.

I have known people from Birmingham and Sheffield, sound as a pound, salt of the earth, northen people tend to be easier to get on with then us Southen people.
As for the cities, yuck what a hole!!!!!!!!. We are very lucky down here in Bournemouth, lovely place to live if you can afford it,  :rockon:  :rockon:

Well done matey you'll have a fine old time over here, and wont regret leaving England one bit, ive been gone 6yrs and you couldnt drag me back. The hardest thing about leaving is making new friends and you seem well on the way to having that one licked.
the milky bars are on you kiddo

You guys are so cool, many many thanks for all the kind words, we both feel very grateful for all the support we have had over the past year.
They will aim to get us out there within 8 months which is cool as that gives enough time to sort stuff out.
Looks like we will miss the Great Canadian this year but what the hell theres plenty more and I am sure we will visit Vancouver this year and I would like to meet some of you at least and buy some beers, sorry lots of beer.
Updates as I get them brothers :rockon:
