You will have to excuse me and my ignorance in this blog, we went out on the tandem and visited loads of little chocolate box villages. I will do my best to get the right photos with the correct town or village but if I get it wrong just enjoy the photos. Dry today, thank... Continue Reading →
Day 2 – Guignicourt
We sleep till 9am and probably could have slept longer but the heat inside the van is starting to get too much. Door thrown open and in floods… more hot air. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Today is going to be a day on the tandem, which is probably just... 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 →
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 →
The Netherlands Part 2
Bit of a lazy start this morning. We’ve got till 12pm to depart so we do a slow pack up even going to the trouble of unpacking the kettle to brew up part way through. The motor mover came into its own getting off the pitch, it’s not often we use it but we got... Continue Reading →
The Netherlands
On a cold, wet, windy, autumn morning in June, we loaded the car, hoisted the tandem onto the roof and hitched the caravan onto the back. It’s been 11 months since we last took the caravan out and we were a little nervous. This car hadn’t towed before, the tow ball was newly sanded and... Continue Reading →
Ding, Ding, Belgium
The journey into Belgium was, thankfully, uneventful. The area we are staying in is a little more built up than the site in The Netherlands. Driving down someone’s front street in a foreign country with a caravan on the back can be a bit worrying. There’s a level crossing at the end of the road... Continue Reading →
Muckers Worldwide Unite
If it's The Boss writing it is bound to feature cycling... groan. To be fair, the back story is odd enough that I might persuade you to read a little further. Long story short, I bought an indoor exercise bike, I linked it to the Laptop, found myself racing against virtual strangers from around the... Continue Reading →
Bruges Day & Beach Day
After the car fiasco yesterday, we slept better than we’ve slept in a long time. Good old Red Pennant, have been better than we could have hoped for. The car was towed away to a local garage, owner Carlo is convinced he can fix it, hopefully in a few days. Red Pennant have been in... Continue Reading →
