Some of the best village ramparts in France
The Alignnements de Carnac stretch for several kilometers and contain thousands of standing stones of all sizes
Excellent wild camp in car park directly below this impressive iron age hill fort
Marvao is stunning. It floats a thousand feet above the surrounding countryside with views in all directions
Another amazing stopover on a pier on the River Nith below Dumfries
Approaching Dartmouth on the Kingsweir Ferry.
What an amazing place to spend a couple of nights. Hats off to Torridge DC for doing this.
We sat in Bertie and scoffed our fish and chips with this view across the mouth of the River Lossie towards Buckie and Ben Rhynnie
Looking back to Cullen from the viaduct with Seatown in the foreground
An amazing wild camping location on the Banffshire Coast. Walks, beach, birds, caves what more could you want?
View from the Miradour over a small town in the Alpuharras near Almeria.
There is a glorious carpark beside the little village of Cabo de Gata where you can park right beside the beach. The sunsets are stunning
The lovely little aire was in a tiny village in the heart of Burgundy
A lovely spot at the top of the hill between the Tay Valley and the Tummel Valley.
There is a large aire on the edge of this little town. The town dates back to C9 and is well worth a visit.
Tonight we are parked up in the car park of the Hollybush Inn which is right beside the Caldon Canal. We are here to meet our friends Charlie and Liz Cordeaux who also own a slice of nb Debdale. Thanks to searchforsites.co.uk for the telling us about this place – we know the pub but not that it welcomed motorhomes – in fact the Murvi Owners Club are here with 10 vans for three days on a mini rally after
Day two and three of the Shire Horse Show really showed Bertie off at his best. The event is amazing with some wonderful sights and terrific moments – especially walking around the stables stroking noses and watching the gum and buzz of so many huge horses being prepared and titivated. Whilst the judging of the various classes of horse drew the most spectators it was the wagons and drays and harness horses that I loved to see. The show is
Bertie is parked up in a field beside the Staffordshire County Showground whilst we attend the National Shire Horse Show. Amazing event if you like BIG horses. Bertie has a exciting day yesterday. When we left home we went to the Beccles Weighbridge to check Bertie’s weight – not good š – both axles were below the limit but his overall weight was much too close to the limit and we are going to need to do something about that.
Bertie is safely home after a long weekend in Norfolk with 25 other Hymers! We have been to our first rally with the Hymer Club International. We all met at the large carpark at the Thursford Collection in Norfolk late afternoon on Friday 4th December where we had a dedicated area to park in. Shortly afterwards we took our seats for the 2015 Thursford Christmas Spectacular – a pre-Christmas show that is put on for a couple of months every
This is the video that Eileen made one soggy November morning in Norfolk! One day we will learn how to edit our videos and clean them up but for now they are posted just as they come off the camera!
Sunday was an eventful day indeed! We slept in as Bertie is great for winding down and we find we settle down early and sleep well. Anyway we crept out of bed about 8:30 and put the heating on to warm Bertie up. The hot air vent in the showerroom does a great job at warming ones bare toes! After breakfast we took some time to film some video of Bertie inside and out which was quite fun. Video done
A lovely warm and sunny day. After a lazy start we tidied Bertie and went for a walk into the small town of Stalham. It took us around 20Ā minutes to walkĀ about a mile to Stalham along the old main road from Keeler’s Meadow in Sutton. The town/village itself is quite small and mainly unremarkable with a narrow street of shops leading to a large Tesco by the bypass. From the town we walked down Staithe Road and crossed
We could not leave Bertie alone and have un-winterised him, filled his water tank, packed his cupboards, made up the big bed and headed north! To be fair all that took up most of the Friday morningĀ but we are promising ourselves that with lots of practice we can get that time down by several hours. The weather forecast looked good for this weekend and we fancied some more Bertie-time. We did not want a long drive so we found
Bertie is back at base, all unloaded and tomorrow he will go to the storage area to be winterised and have a rest for a while. His waterworks have finally been fixed with a smart new water pump. Last night we called J&M Caravans on the recommendation of the warden at St Neots campsite and this morning Mark arrived to fix Bertie’s waterworks. Even better the repair was covered by our warranty from MB&G that was included when we bought
We have just arrived at the Camping and Caravaning Club campsite at St Neots (Tuesday 20 October 2015). Not a good day today as last night Bertie’s water pump failed again. That coupled with no internet to find a repairer meant that we had a stressful morning trying to decide whether to divert to a caravan repairer, call someone out or just press on. We do have a 6 months motorhome warranty provided by MB&G so we rang them and
