    September 15, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Weighing in at just over 170 pounds ( that’s money not weight ) Forbes the collectors Bear joins us for his first European adventure. We are now stopped on the camp site where the Gosport foot ferry is just a short bicycle ride away and the chance to see the Historic Dock Yard in Portsmouth which is where we are heading on the Sunday Morning.
    Did the Fiat badge fall off on its own or did someone help it disappear.

  • Victory

    September 16, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Fantastic! What a great day out the Dock Yard is.
    It’s not surprising the tickets are valid for a year as it is not possible to cover all the attractions in one day. Victory and the Mary Rose museum were the highlights of the day.
    Back to the campsite now and get ready for our night sailing to Bilbao.

  • Tamarit Beach Resort

    September 21, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Sun Sea and Sand plus mosquitoes. It’s good fun trying to win the battle with those little fellas.
    This seems a great spot to stay for a while, plenty of sunbathing followed by a dip in the Med followed by Beer Wine and Food. It’s what holidays are made of.Read more

  • Camping Le Capeyrou

    September 26, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Campsite on the bank of the Dordogne River and within site of the castle which was the French headquarters during the 100 years war.
    Very handy for all the restaurants in Beynac-et-Cazenac and boats trips along the river. Also a great place for just laying in the Sun and watching Hot Air Balloons.Read more

  • Le Guedeniau

    September 30, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    This is one of our favourite French Aires and we usually stop off hear for the night before the long drive to Calais.
    Not much happening but it is safe and free. There is a collection box by the water point that we put a few Euros in before leaving.
    At the Aires this time we found ourselves parking next to a group of French Mushroom hunters and using the international language of Wine a very pleasant evening was had by all.
    The group photo is very dark but it’s the memory that counts.
