We arrived here on Wednesday 7th September, a full 8 days after leaving home. The campsite is situated at 650m altitude in the Murcian regional park of the Sierra Espuña just to the west of the capitol city and reasonably close to the coast where we once lived. We had visited the park before during winter days out but had…
A couple of years ago hubby developed an interest in VW camper vans, despite us being loyal caravanners for 16 years. We still have our caravan and get as much use out of it as we can but hubby bought a VW T5 transporter camper van which he has spent much time and money on. I call it his 'mid-life crisis vehicle.' I love…
This was a new site for us and despite having lived not too far away for a while and driven past Crevillente we had never visited the town famous for its Arabic carpet manufacturing. I think it may also have a big Moor’s and Christian’s celebrations each year. The almost empty motorway from Zaragoza to Valencia meant we…
This summer, during our travels over to Europe we used camping cheques for a few of the campsites that we were staying on. It was a new experience for us and added a different dimension to the booking process. For those that haven't used them before, they are just 'what they say on the label' - cheques that pay for…
We love Wales. We often used to travel over to Wales from Nottingham, particularly the northern coast. It is such a beautiful country and there is SO much to do and see in every nook and cranny! After leaving Gladfest in early September, we headed further into Wales towards the popular Snowdonia area. The site that we were…
Having family in the Lake District means that we make occasional visits to this part of the country. One such visit has become an annual family get together - the Keswick Mountain Festival in late May. For the last three years, we've been asked to do a talk there and have loved the opportunity to attend a festival that…
We avoided the A63 tolls between Salles and here but on this occasion we actually travelled along the A63 as much as we were able to between the recent additions of tolls. A strange system of toll collection along this road now as it is collected at two points only as you pass through. This was so the local people could…
I was really in two minds about writing stories this time for various reasons but mainly the additional difficulty I have experienced in reducing photographs in size to upload to the Club’s web site with the small allowed size and also the often difficult internet access on our journey. However after a forum chum said they…
http://home-is-where-you-drag-it.blogspot.co.uk/ Tuesday 23 August I'm up quite early and away to my favourite cliff top spot to wipe the sleep from my eyes and let the dogs have a run. By the time I'm back at the van Herself has got a full breakfast on the go. We've plans for a trip up to the north coast today as Ronnie…
http://home-is-where-you-drag-it.blogspot.co.uk/ Saturday 27 August It is sunny when we wake up. but rather windy. We tend to be going out late and staying out late these last few days ,,,,, mainly due to waiting for TF to get ready. We had also intended top do a bit of fishing on our way back from Mevagissey last night…
