Day 1 Guignicourt

A 5.30am start can only mean one thing, we’re off on holiday again. Shower and a strong cup of tea whilst randomly chucking the odd forgotten item in a bag for life, I’m guaranteed to have forgotten something. We fuelled the car yesterday and discovered that the road to our caravan storage is closing for... Continue Reading →

Lanzarote – normal service has been resumed

Lanzarote is like my comfort blanket. It’s a place I know well and feel safe to be on my own when Steve is riding. We do try to get out here once a year with other holidays thrown in along the way. This year is different, normally we book things individually, we book the flights... Continue Reading →

Puerto del Carmen Carnival

We’ve been coming here now once, maybe twice, a year for about ten years. We always come over the winter months and we always seemed to miss the carnival and St Patrick’s Day. I suppose mainly because we had to be back at work at the end of February after having winter off. I’d always... Continue Reading →

Leaky Lanzarote

We should’ve realised on our journey to Gatwick that this was going to be a holiday with a difference.  Junction 10 on the M25 was closed so we had planned to take the back roads down to the airport.  5am and the car was frozen solid, trying to crack the doors open to load the...

Catavanning

A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →

Malpais de La Rasca

“It’s cloudy” he said. “Let’s go for a walk” he said. I thought he meant the little loop I’d created, down to the seafront and back up again, possibly popping into one of the little cafes mid route for refreshments and a bit of people watching, no. He had different plans. I wanted something sedate... Continue Reading →

Mount Teide by Bicycle

If there’s a sure way to put pressure on yourself to do something ‘epic’ then announce beforehand that you are going to do it. We are in Tenerife as we want to explore another Island in The Canaries other than our usual choice Lanzarote, in case we are missing something special, but also because it... Continue Reading →

New Direction

Approximately 10 years ago we bought our first caravan and the blog was born. The road the blog was destined to follow, was our new found love, caravanning. The caravan took us on endless trips within the UK and Europe. Looking back I think we’ve been at our happiest in Europe in the caravan. We... Continue Reading →

A Trip to White House Beach CAMC Site

Last minute as normal for us. Completely unplanned. Saturday morning the day dawned as it normally would, the weather wasn’t too bad, still not summer as we know it but it’s not raining. ‘Let’s take the caravan away’ he says. Not wanting to miss a trick I quickly book White House Beach in Suffolk, I... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands Part 3

Just over a two hour drive back to the site we started on last week. This is our fourth stay here, it’s a nice site, perfect for the beach, cycling and sightseeing. We set up very quickly as we didn’t really put anything away, we just dropped it all in bags for life and put... Continue Reading →
