I'd appreciate any comments on the following proposed ending of the itinerary instead of what is shown in latest posting, please. It's from Dorchester to London.
Dorchester 15 and 16 September
Manston,
Sturminster Newton 23 miles 17 Sept.
Winterbourne Stoke 27 18
Andover 20 19
Basingstoke 23 20 and 21
Wokingham 25 22
Windsor Great Park 11 23
Trafalgar Square 25 24
And, of course, any help to get free parking sites in or near any of these places for car and caravan would be a great help.

Another update on 30 July 2008
If you are reading my postings here, then you can maybe help me a bit.
Where there are asterisks against a place, I have a confirmed free or discounted parking site for our vehicle and caravan. Otherwise, I'm still searching for such.
Where YOU can help is by checking out those without asterisks, and see whether you live nearby, work nearby, have friends or relatives nearby, or even try your hand at writing to a newspaper, local authority, hotel or pub or camping ground, and drawing their attention to my venture.
I know it's asking a lot, but you'll maybe have noticed that it has been 3 weeks since my previous update. I'm only updating generally when there are new free sites to show. Today, I was told that Otterburn is O.K. for a free site, and that is why I'm updating today.
I'm having another closer look myself tonight (almost midnight here just now) at the end stretch from Dorchester to London, and I may have to revise that part of the route. A lovely lady was helping me there, but I've lost all contact with her, and I may therefore shorten that part of the route. To my friend at Winterbourne Stoke - don't panic! I'll still come to you, but I may ask you to change the date(?)

Back in the Saddle Again !
Thank heavens my username/password problem has been resolved!
My next posting here - in a minute or two from finishing this one - will be an updated itinerary, taking into account the amendments I mentioned in my "Comments" in my posting of 27 June. And including this morning's new free sites.
Things are looking quite good at present. Deducing that I've definitely been having problems with emails, inwards and outwards, I've been sending 'multiple' catch-up emails to some of my previous providers of free sites for 2008, and the results have been splendid! Turns out that some of them had already responded in May, but I never received their messages.
So, page One of my pdf document of my itinerary is almost completed as regards free sites, and page Three has moved on in leaps and bounds. Now I have to do some catch-up emails re page Two (which seems to have been my most difficult page.
But, things are looking for 2009.
And, as a bonus, due to an email I received out of the blue, my stuff is now on a website in the U.K., seeking sponsorship! If you like what you see under "Personal Endeavours" at www.sponsormylife.co.uk then pass it on to any potential sponsoring companies or organisations, please.
