Site three of our 20 sites as we travel through five countries in five weeks was Heumans Bos, in eastern Holland near the border with Germany. It is a site listed on the Caravan Club website. Our knowledge of Dutch is very limited although we are making efforts to learn a few words and phrases. We managed to work out that…
Ella's birthday always falls during the summer holidays and more often than not we are away. This year is no different. Since we knew we were going to be in the Netherlands at the end of July, we planned our stops so that we would be near Efteling theme park on the big day, not far from the site that we were staying at…
With our time in Vienna at an end it was time to start the return journey home, albeit it nearly a month to go. We set off upstream along the Danube Valley. I did not think that the river was that picturesque near to Vienna and you have to go a bit further upstream for it to be classed as pretty. Our first stop after…
On previous trips to the Netherlands, we've headed to the more well-known tourist spots such as Delft and Amsterdam but this time we swung south upon arriving in Rotterdam. The ferry docked at 8.30 in the morning after a calm crossing over the North Sea from Hull. We tapped the name of the first site into the Sat Nav and…
Having spent a couple of months earlier in the year travelling through France and Spain, we are taking a different direction into Europe this time. Over the next five weeks, we'll be heading into central and northern Europe, stopping off at various campsites in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway - yep…
Task 68 - Visit a family member and invite for tea in the caravan Our trip to Beccles was centred around visiting Amy and Ella's Uncle and cousins. As well as doing some kayaking, canoeing and raft building at the Rowan Craft Ltd CL site (a great location for river-based activities), we planned to have a big family…
Hi all. Hope this helps. We’ve just returned from a trip to Northern Ireland in our motorhome. We stayed over in Belfast at the new (not far from the ferry ports, excellent but a bit pricey) Jordanstown Loughshore Caravan Park: https://newtownabbey.campstead.com/CheckAvailability.asp And also, after driving up the fabulous…
This could almost be, and probably is sequel to last years story about our journey to France called ‘Thank You Red Pennant' We left home in Mid May and crossed the channel using the Poole – Cherbourg route. A leisurely journey through France saw us arrive at Le Floride, a campsite at Le Barcares on the Mediterranean coast…
On the 11th September 2015 we purchased out first motor home a Swift Sundance 580PR 2011 from SMC Motorhomes Newark from when we first saw it to delivery this Company was fantastic and for me to say this they must be good as my friends would tell you. for complete novices like us with what may have been very silly…
Earlier this year, we stopped at Southport for a couple of nights and as we wandered along the seafront we stumbled across a sign and map of the Trans Peninne Trail, a 215 mile cycle route across the country that starts (or ends) in Southport and ends (or starts) in Hornsea. We immediately knew that it was something that…
