Tuesday 26th, Wednesday 27th, and Thursday 28th We moved to our new lakeside pitch on Tuesday morning. It was our silver wedding anniversary and whilst we wished to celebrate we had no plans to do anything extravagant, we just needed a nice day in each other’s company with our dogs, some good food and wine,…

Monday 25th September 2017 We’re heading for Camping Covelo on the shores of Lake Iseo today where we plan to stop for about three nights. It’s a fairly straight forward route so there should be no hick-ups eh? Well I suppose we should expect the unexpected and then we wouldn’t be disappointed, right? – wrong!…

Sunday 24th September 2017 Today we leave Camping Pre Du Lac and head on our diverted route (N85) towards Gap and then onwards to Italy. We had been planning to go to Orta to a campsite on the shores of Lake Orta. We had tried to make a reservation via email a few days ago…

Saturday 23rd September 2017 Things were a bit sluggish this morning after the bad night and trying to recover from the poor night’s sleep. A nice walk along the river helped and we ventured into Trevoux town to see what was occurring. It happens that Saturday is market day in Trevoux. Bread and cakes were…

Thursday 21st September 2017 A very quiet overnight stay at the Mery-sur-Seine camp municipal although we were conscious that we had be off the site before the warden left reception otherwise we would be here for another night! So, we decided that as the canal was such a beautiful spot we would move over to…

Wednesday 20th September 2017 Today we leave Meubeuge and start heading south through the French countryside. We hadn’t really decided where our next stop would be but before heading off this morning we decide to head for Mery-sur-Seine and the Camp Municipal. The journey through the French countryside reminds us just why we avoid the…

Tuesday 19th September 2017 The Old Dover Street P&R at Canterbury was fine overnight although you need to shut out the light from the sodium car park lighting. The main car park starts to get busy quite early and I guess that it is used by a fair few commuters given the good value parking…

Monday 18th September 2017 So, at last we’re off! We had intended to make this trip back in April but decorating got in the way and it was deferred to the beginning of September. September came but with it the realisation that the defects we had been trying to get resolved on our motorhome would…
