Next stop Moffat, overnight-er. We chose to stay at a C L, don’t worry about the meaning. It was a mistake, difficult to access, small and muddy. More later about Moffat. We have booked an overnight stop on the return journey, a different site.
Monday, 1st August, we headed to London for a short break. Dreamboats and petticoats is a musical based on the songs, dress and culture of the sixties. It is a riot of music, dancing and singing for two hours, all performed by the on stage cast. We loved it. P S. Also had a drink [...]
For variety of reasons I have not done a blog for some time, not doing anything interesting, cant be bothered, etc. We have spent quite a bit of time at the museum. Jan has been working hard on the area around the entrance, cutting the grass and looking after the borders. The dig for victory [...]
We are about 440 k from the channel ports. The plan is to leave here on Tuesday and take two days to reach Dunkerque, a steady journey. We have booked a ferry early Thursday morning and are looking forward to seeing family and friends. This will be the last blog for this trip, (other trips are planned [...]
Today, Monday, we went for a circular, ish, tour. The idea was to have a look at the countryside and some towns on route. This part of France is very rural the main industries are agricultural or related, including grape vines. In the days of wine lakes and butter mountains some governments advocated major changes [...]

After several attempts and both of us feeling tired and frustrated we managed to find our way. We were proceeding up a hill in the direction of the site [...]
Today we have moved north, about three hundred k. We decided, for the fist time, to use the toll roads. That decisions cost €52, more than the cost of fuel. We were charged double because we were towing. Will not make that mistake again.
A chance for you to gloat. For the last four days and nights it as rained heavily with some short dry periods. Hopefully, today, Thursday, it will improve.
On Friday Keith visited Parque natural Ria Formosa, 18,400 hectares. Several structures around the site are in a poor state of repair, one with a partly collapsed roof, all gave unfettered access to the public. In the U K these would have been fenced or taped off with the usual array of signage highlighting every conceivable [...]
First, back to the journey from the UK. It took five days, 5th to the 9th Jan. Fuel cost,£333.63 sounds a lot, that is six refills. When you consider the weight for van, trailer and car is in the region of 4.8 tonnes, that’s not to bad. We did not pay for overnight stays on route. On [...]
