Devises (2nd November 2014)
Weather is not too hot today, this morning is a bit um.. wet. So, after a thorough tidy of the motorhome, a few games of cards (I am terrible at cards!!) the weather decided to break for us and we went for a stroll up the canal. Toby loved this, there were bridges across the …

Beautiful Wales (1st November 2014)
I would normally come up with a catchy title for a post on here, but nothing sprang to mind other than the beauty of the place we found for our nights stay here. We were parked in a small car park on the opposing side of a reservoir to the main road. It wasn’t busy …

Down ‘t’ Pit (31st October 2014)
And so it was, leaving our pub on the water behind (there’s a song title in there somewhere). We headed into Wales, during the previous evening April had found a Coal Mine tour that we decided we would have a look into, near Blaenavon. So, we packed up our things, and hit the road, I must …

Into the Lair of the Dragon (30th October 2014)
So, with Cheddar sinking into the distance we drove through Bristol to grab the M48 to take the Old Bridge into Wales. We’d found a BritStop on the Severn waterfront that caught our eye. So with the journey done and dusted, we arrived at a wonderful pub with quite a view of the Severn So, we …

Exeter (25th August)
A slow day was needed today, the past few days have been very heavy on the walking and with Aprils knee still on the mend we thought it was time for a bit of a rest. A number off options were open to us today, drive the majority of the way back and stay overnight …

Tintagel Castle (24th August)
Steps.. So many steps!! We woke in the morning after a quite quiet nights sleep. I managed a bit of a stargaze in the car park at 3am, it was very clear and you could just make out the wisp of the Milky Way above you. A gorgeous sight. We had a small breakfast and …

Lost Gardens of Heligan (23rd August)
Seemed difficult to start this morning, none of us wanted to get up, it was raining and a weird noise was coming from somewhere behind us. Not sure what type of machine was making the noise.. But it was very strange. After a fry up for brekkie, we set of with the Lost Gardens of …
