Some of the best village ramparts in France
The Alignnements de Carnac stretch for several kilometers and contain thousands of standing stones of all sizes
Excellent wild camp in car park directly below this impressive iron age hill fort

Another amazing stopover on a pier on the River Nith below Dumfries
Approaching Dartmouth on the Kingsweir Ferry.
What an amazing place to spend a couple of nights. Hats off to Torridge DC for doing this.
We sat in Bertie and scoffed our fish and chips with this view across the mouth of the River Lossie towards Buckie and Ben Rhynnie
Looking back to Cullen from the viaduct with Seatown in the foreground
An amazing wild camping location on the Banffshire Coast. Walks, beach, birds, caves what more could you want?
View from the Miradour over a small town in the Alpuharras near Almeria.
There is a glorious carpark beside the little village of Cabo de Gata where you can park right beside the beach. The sunsets are stunning
The lovely little aire was in a tiny village in the heart of Burgundy
A lovely spot at the top of the hill between the Tay Valley and the Tummel Valley.
There is a large aire on the edge of this little town. The town dates back to C9 and is well worth a visit.
We spent most of the day at Caravan and Motorhome Solutions at Chard. They were very busy and were fitting us in when they had a chance. Eventually Sandy came and took a look at our leaky manifolds. The hot water manifold had already been sealed up with silicone but the cold water one on the right was spraying water from a crack at the end. Sandy depressured the system and left it to dry and then came back and
Just as we were getting Bertie ready to head off from Appledore we were really pleased to catch sight of MS Oldenburg on her way to Lundy. The ship is Lundy’s connection to the mainland and is the only way to reach the island. The ships sails a couple of times a week and takes 2 hours to make the trip from Bideford to Lundy. It was a short drive from Appledore to Barnstable where we filled up with LPG.
Today, Monday 19 October 2015, we are turning for home which we both feel is a bit sad. I know this was only ever a very short trip as a shakedown and it is not typical as it is quite structured and timed – there are places we have to be on certain days etc. We had a leisurely start from the hotel having again filled up on hotel brekkies and generally used all the hotel facilities to the max!
Bertie is now resting in the car park of the Holiday Inn Express in Exeter. He has had a very trying day! We left the campsite at Verwood at 11am after a leisurely start. Another goodnight’s sleep was had by both of us. Bertie was a bit chilly first thing but we put the Truma heating on and it warmed the air quite quickly. After breakfast we emptied the loo cassette – our first experience of this staple motorhomer’s job.
