It was time to head out on the bikes once again. The warm sunshine and temperatures that had greeted us on arrival had chilled slightly but it was clear day and we wanted to explore the area. Directly outside the Eden de la Vanoise site, is a Voie Verte, cycle path that links a few villages in the valley. Landry is the…
Although we like walking and thoroughly enjoy watching the wildlife where ever we go we wouldn't call ourselves experts. However, now and again, we stop and stare and try to name what we are looking at. A walk at Clumber Park found us strolling along the causeway at the bottom of the lake near dusk just watching the birds.…
We left le Grand Bornand today to drive a further 90km into the Alps. Much of the heavy snow had disappeared and the roads were luckily clear although you could still see large drifts piled up on the sides. It really was a dramatic drive (which included a diversion) with picturesque views of the wooden Swiss-style chalets…
I and 2 other friends decided to start our year of touring by visiting the Southport site, unfortunately all 3 units arrived 1 hour before the dreaded 12 oclk deadline. It was'nt long before we had been joined by another 6 units all stretching back along the approach road. Although there where plenty of pitches available…
Our next stop was the Alps or to be precise le Grand Bornand in the Haute-Savoie region. Unbeknownst to us it is a popular French family ski resort and caters extremely well for families. We booked to stay here with full intentions of spending our time on the slopes. French friends were suitably impressed when we told them…
Our next stop in France, after one night near Calais, was the Picardie region, east of Paris; this was approximately a 3 hour journey and would be easily accessible if arriving in Calais and wanting to break up a journey travelling south. The Caravan Club site is Au Bord de L'Aisne in Guignicourt, a small town, 25km from…
We had a long day's drive ahead of us and we wanted to get off early in the morning. Unfortunately our plans were quickly scuppered. We got up in good time, had breakfast and packed away. We then reversed the motorhome towards the tarmacked road, initially succeeding to move out of our grass pitch but metres away from hard…
The sun shone on El Berro for the eighth annual 'Encuentra de Quadrillas' (meeting of the crews), which brings musicians, singers and dancers from Alhama de Murcia and its surrounding villages. The day started with informal groupings playing in the town square while orange cake and coffee sweetened with aniseed was free to…
One of my long standing ambitions had been to drive the amazing route in Northern Ireland from Belfast to Bushmills – the Causeway Route – and this I did in July 2011. It is listed as one of the top European drives and frequently gets listed very high in top drives of the world so I always knew I was in for something…
Today we set off on our two-month winter motorhoming trip to France and Spain, excited at the prospect of learning new languages and visiting interesting cultural locations. This trip is a month later than planned after ferries to Spain were cancelled due to stormy weather conditions in January. We took the ferry from…
