Well here we go, we're on our way first stop Guignicourt to visit Reims and Laon and to get into the swing of traveling. Will put together a better story I hope when I get a better wifi connection and this thing doesn't time out. Happy travelling all Bill
Still staying in the Castilla y Leon region, we travelled further north towards the coast. The drive from Regio to El Astral was a little over a hour. So before we knew it we were at a new campsite for a two-night stop. The lady on reception was very proud of the area and gave us lots of information about Tordesillas, the…
As the wartime song says, it’s a long long way to Tipperary (where I live) and for those of us crossing the Irish Sea with our pets, between the UK and Ireland in either direction, it could be about to appear significantly longer. Pet passports have been around for some years now. In January 2012, regulations regarding the…
Not long back from our week long tour where thanks to a school inset day we were able to stay for 2 nights at the Longleat Club site, lucky with the weather and a brilliant site sitting vertually next door to Longleat house. Here are some pictures from that day.
One of the many reasons that we decided to travel and take the girls to France and Spain was for them to appreciate the culture but also learn the languages. There is no better place to learn a language and put it into practice than in the country itself. As we've been travelling around Spain, the girls have gained in…
With only a week left in Spain, our route is now heading north towards Bilbao with a few stop-overs on the way. We left the beautiful hills of Sierra de Guadarrama and drove to our next site: Regio, near Salamanca. The Regio campsite sits beside a 4 star hotel by the same name. At this time of year, the reception of the…
So, on Wednesday David rang to say the van was ready, new tyres fitted and also new Al-Ko shock absorbers. Decided to go somewhere for the weekend, so booked Spring Meadow CL in Banningham not far from Aylsham. This site is only about 3 miles from where we store our van so no long tow to test the new shockers. Arrived at…
Not being backwards in complaining about poor service, I feel it is only fair to give credit when due. When checking that my caravan was ready for collection after it’s annual service I was informed that the Fire Angle carbon monoxide alarm was faulty, did I want it fixed? No problem I thought probably a new battery,…
Hi seemed like a good idea last year when my wife and I decided to travel around Europe in a caravan, two well three problems had to be overcome! First we did not own a caravan, second we have never been caravaning before so knew absolutely nothing about it, third no tow car! Having been a regular e bay user for about five…
The time to see the capital was approaching! The drive to our next site looped south towards Madrid and westwards in the direction of Salamanca. We left the Sierra Norte mountain range behind us and saw the sprawl of tall buildings ahead of us. As we drove around the peripheries of the city, a large dramatic cross appeared…
