Re: What are you all up to
Had to go to town today to help MiL take some stuff to a particular charity shop where a friend of hers works on Wednesdays. Had a few things that needed doing myself and it was very busy as its market day. Plus OH had a hair appointment so she got a free lift.
Found out that another resident that we know in the village has died suddenly and that yet another in our road has Covid and is not expected to survive. Just shows it has never gone away.
Went for a blood test Monday and received a text this afternoon from surgery asking me to have another one in a weeks time. What do they want, blood?
Re: Time Warp
I don’t understand your comments, Surfer. Threads can be moved to different sections but posts cannot be moved from one thread to another.
The anomalies here are a useless search facility which prevents people finding old info and, perversely, ancient threads coming to the fore in a haphazard fashion for no appreciable reason.
Re: Time Warp
I agree that some posts may be considered offensive or inappropriate, but many others that I've read prior to removal are, in my view, just opinions. Once you start to stifle opinion and debate then people will lose interest.
Oh, how so true.

Re: Sites with a pup tent?
I guess it depends on the non awning pitch. It's pretty much site specific, some non awning pitches have the space to deploy a sun canopy for example so a pup tent would be ok on them. On all grass sites there's no pitch definition as such and could be easy to stray into that fire break but like you say it's always best practise to consult with the site staff.

Re: What are you all up to
Again mixed weather but not quite as much rain. Had a drive over the Nick of Pendle, through Sabden up onto Padiham Heights for a short walk. It certainly not a day for walking on Pendle Hill!! Had a couple of short walks back at the van inbetween showers.
I phoned up our caravan dealers about the microwave and they have put in a claim, with Swift I guess, for a replacement,so now just have t wait for the out.come. In the meanwhile it will mean an adjustment to our cooking for the rest of this trip.
Hopefully the weather will improve for all those out and about tomorrow, and more interesting places will be visited and dry dog walks accomplished.
Tda, the view of Snowden from Llanberis Pass reminds me of the ascent we made to the top over Crib Goch to complete our single day round of all the Welsh 3000 ft peaks many year ago. Great to see the photos.
Re: What are you all up to
Enjoyed a great drive out today, weather fit only for ducks, but it added hugely to the local scenery. Snowdon from the Beddgelert/ Nantgwynant side, and then from the Llanberis Pass near Pen y Pass. If you zoom in, you can just make out the Summit Station building and the summit stone itself. We also saw a mountain goat, haven’t seen one for a very long time.
We called into Beddgelert Campsite as well for a look around. It’s actually nicer in Winter, as the tree cover isn’t as dense. Enjoyed many a stay here in the past, it’s primarily cabins nowadays though.
Re: Driving to Greece
There are blogs on line by masochists who have driven all the way via Balkan countries such as Bosnia, Serbia and North Macedonia, but there are also ferries from four ports in Italy (Venice, Ancona, Bari and Brindisi) to the Greek mainland. What do you have in mind.?
Re: Driving to Greece
I bookmarked this site after reading some years ago from a caravaner that did the trip. I recall that you "camp out" on the ships deck after hooking up the vans or motorhomes electrics.
