Just a quick post while Mrs M's not looking! We've had a dramatic change of weather here in Slovenia. Two scorching hot days. Yesterday wevtook a trip down to the two lakes at Bled and Bohinj and then up into the National Park to a truly spectacular waterfall
which the guide said was at its most powerful for years after weeks of rain. Today a long, long walk in the mountains with wide reaching views - wonderful. Relaxing with a well earned beer now.Tomorrow is a day off the guided walks; we're planning to hire bikes and cycle all the way to Italy (sounds good, but in fact the border is only just over 5 miles away.)
Quick shower before dinner and then I guess we'll withdraw to the bar - that blueberry brandy's not going to drink itself is it?
Glad you're both enjoying yourselves and that the waether's picked up for you. The nightcap sounds interesting!!

Walked along the Winchcombe road to Stanton then through that village (delightful, especially as they are preparing to open the village for the National Gardens Scheme tomorrow) and up onto the Cotswold Way.
Walked along there and dropped down again onto the Snowshill road and back into Broadway. A lovely walk that we have done many times and never tire of.

Write your comments here...Nellie i will check my manual tomorrow and see if there is anything mention in it.
Thanks, SELL. Will be interested in what you find.
Write your comments here...nellie have checked the towing section of my handbook and there is no mention anywhere about having to put any mileage on vehicle before you start towing.
Write your comments here...you can go online and download the manual it states that before towing a heavy trailer you must do 1000km first
Seems to contradict what SELL's just said. Will have to have a look at the manual myself I guess.
Write your comments here...This is an extract from the manual you can download.

Fine day, not too much sun but warm and dry. Managed to get about half of the inside of the van cleaned out, hopefully I'll get quite a bit more done tomorrow. One more site booked so only waiting on one response now, perhaps we'll get it tomorrow.

Went for a bike ride into Angers this afternoon along the causeway, the river is one side the lake the other. It was fully open but you could see where in places the river had gone over the causeway into the Lake, levels now down but areas that are normally
dry have small lakes of standing water still. Tomorrow we will ride the other way and see what it is like in that direction. Lots of mosquitos around perfect breeding conditions just now

Thanks for the comments folks.
.......a little picture of the 'van sitting in state at our storeage facility.
.David..What make awning is it ,as that is what we are looking for to fit on our Pegasus,as have not seen any brackets that fit
How did that happen
It's a Thule 6200, JVB66. They don't come cheap - supplied and fitted by Rose Awnings. They travel all over the country fitting these (included in the eye watering price). We went to the NEC show in February with the specific intent of having a look at these. We were really keen, and in the end decided to buy a new van as well. It just didn't feel right to phase it put on a 6 year old van.
David It may well be worth ringing him up for advice or going to one of the Caravan and Motorhome Shows - I think they are at most of them.
David
..Thanks David will contact them

Beautiful sunny morning, just back from walking the dog, lots of birds, singing their little hearts out this morning.
Expecting the boys this morning, although probably not until later on, neither of them are early risers.

There are some lovely walks in and around Broadway, glad you are having a good holiday, Ian.

Well this weekend see,s our locol FAB (folk and boat) festival.Its the biggest event of the year in the town and runs over three days.The festival is in its 26th year and has gone from strength to strength each year.Our town is a canal town and stands on the junction of the Trent and Mersey with the Shropshire union canal,s.Singers and dancers from all over the world are lined up to perform free throughout the town and an estimated twenty five thousand people will come into the town over the three days.Some 30 to 40 acts.The locol Rose Fete is also over this weekend and the rose queen is paraded up and down the canal on a specially decorated narrow boat curtosy of one of the resident narrow boat hire companys.Narrow boats start arriveing a week before to get a mooring spot and there are boats as far as the eye can see moored three abreast on the canals.The locol pubs all do a roaring trade and the whole event is for the family.Its a ten minute walk from where i live to the canal so i will be down there again today with the family

Well I can only hope the canal festivals like those dont get a visit from a certain elderly theatrical couple 'cos their narrow-boat seems to be used as something akin to an icebreaker !!

Friday and Saturday were very busy but it has gone quieter today. We passed by the sea front earlier and there were crowds of people sitting outside bars and restaurants, lots of people walking along the promenade near the pier. It's clouding over a bit now, nice cool breeze though!
We've only had one delivery to do so far this afternoon.
We're parked by Broadwater Green at the moment. There's no cricket on this afternoon, so plenty of available parking spaces. There are some caravans and motorhomes still parked on the other side.

Good Day Everybody
. Hope you all behaved ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, . Scampered up to Bridgmere Garden Centre ( A part of Wyevale now ) to look for "Nauticalia" a {theoretically} sailing based trader, for a couple of silly things before this branch outlet closes. Got a couple of Royal Scot Mugs and a nice tea caddy to match, time
.C U later, bieee
BrianB
Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear,
Just perused a few days posts on 'ere and discovered I can rite rubbish wiv the best ( or worst ) !!
Royal Scot Mugs & Tea Caddy be Damned --> of course they weren't !! As all you right thinking folk knew they were Flying Scotsman Mugs & Caddy all the time !! And, to my eternal shame, I even put one post in the wrong thread. There are times when I think I should send all my writings etc as E-mails to my lappy first then I would have to read them before they go out to the great wide world.
Think I'll go & snack on some little green apples, sniff sniff, sob ... .. .. .. ..

Finally decided on our 'summer' break and for a change decided to go north to Scotland instead of south to France - for a change! Booked a CL in Wensleydale, then another near Alnwick, then Edinburgh club site and a CL near Oban for starters. Where next
we don't know but will consider the weather....Oh yes...and its started to pour with rain again! Flaming June!0 -
, Getting the 'bit's & pieces ' ready for the road repairs tomorrow & Tue' Went out on a salvage mission to recover a 'R.I.B' that had sunk
.Back home to refurb' repairs.Sunny & dry all day,Westerly breeze.0 -
Well, bike riding seems to be very popular on here.
We went off on ours this morning, did the circuit of Bredon Hill.....about 30 miles. There were loads of other cyclists out and I always like how they acknowledge you as they pass in the opposite direction (and one or two in the same direction
)0 -
After many diversions we finally managed to cycle to the confluence of the Maine and Loire rivers, the causeway that we usually use along the river maine had overflowed in quite a few places so we had to go around a differant way.
This afternoon we took the trike out for a spin, decent weather does make a differance.
Now all packed up ready for the drive to Caen in the morning.

Don't forget your midge protection if you're heading up the West coast, especially if it's warm, damp and still. Have a good trip.

What a horrible day here.
Started raining before 2:00 pm and it hasn't stopped yet. Completed the hoovering and dusting in the van and started
the polishing of the woodwork. With a bit of luck I'll finish it tomorrow, and we're be nearly ready for the off again.0
