Forests, Huh!
Ok, we’re in a forest in the Cairngorns for the next three days and it is the kind of place where signal is non existent. So normal service will be resumed when I get some signal and time. Apologies for the interruption. Normal programming will resume as soon as possible. The Management

Let’s just go to the next corner. (29th July 2016)
So, up reasonably early this morning although it was a struggle. A quick breakfast and we packed a picnic because there was a walk we’d been meaning to do and a Nevis called Ben to conquer. Setting out from the campsite we headed for one of those shortcuts that we can’t decide if we should …

Our New Favourite Road (28th July 2016)
We left behind Loch Lomond Camping and Caravanning club site just before 10 as we were heading north to a campsite that releases pitches for the day at noon. We decided that the easiest way through to our destination was up the A82 and oh my, what a road!! The photos don’t do it justice, …

The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond (27th July 2016)
This morning was lovely, quiet, and slow. The Lake to the side of us was silently lapping on the shore and it took us an age to get going. It was 10 before we looked at a clock. Then for some reason we needed a fry up which was graciously received. That however didn’t help …

Some sheep, a lake, a boat, a lake, a waterfall, a border and a harbour (24th July 2016)
Bit of an abrupt awakening at 06:30 this morning by someone shouting “Ho” repeatedly and only the sound of the sheep baaing meant it wasn’t Santa Claus. Up and ready by 10 we set off west towards Lake Windermere we took the back roads which were a bit scary but the view was stunning all …

Minty Cake Land (23rd July 2016)
Good afternoons, We set off a bit late this morning which, to be honest, was always going to happen. We thought we’d old school the route and use one of them map thingummybobs. April is driving and doing a sterling job, there have been roads with letters and numbers and white dotted lines and other …

Warwick Castle (6th August 2015)
A good nights sleep set us up for a long day at the castle. it was only a short walk from the campsite we were on, next to Warwick Racecourse. Lots to do at the castle, expensive to get in I will say and then for things to cost money inside was a bit of …

National Space Center (5th August 2015)
After the night at the Britstop which wasn’t the most restful (nothing to do with the pub mind you, a reasonably noisy road and a badly parked motorhome!) it was however in a quite nice location. We left Sherwood Forest and headed for Warwick with the idea of stopping over in Nottingham on the way. …
