    Banbury

    June 7, 2019 in England ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    We left Redcar to head to Banbury, as we had been researching a possible replacment for Hazel. A dealership near Banbury had a motorhome that we were interested in.
    Massive problems on the A1 where a big pile up held us up for an hour near Doncaster. The accident was on the northbound carriage way - lots of cutting gear and response units. The traffic queues going north were horrendous, not helped by the MI north bound carriage way also having been closed at the same time. The eastbound M18 was a car park between the A1 and the M1.
    The heavens opened as soon as we left Yorkshire and it then rained for the rest of the day.
    We could not agree a deal with the dealership which made us want to buy straight away so we resolved to move on to LLanelli in Wales, where a similar motorhome was for sale.
    We overnighted at a very quiet site adjacent to the Oxford Canal, continuous rain prevented us from venturing out.
