Vitamin Sea

With temperatures set to soar to around 32° in our neck of the woods we head for the beach in hope of a cooling sea breeze. 30 minutes later, with the aircon accompanying The Kinks, we are pulling into a remarkably quiet car park on the seafront. Maybe everyone is staying home in the shade.... Continue Reading →

Die fantastische Mosel

A slightly longer blog than normal but it does have lots of photos. After a very long WiFi less weekend. We are on the move again. Another 4.5hr drive away from the Black Forest to Cochem. An area recommended by a German friend of Steve. The journey is mainly on two lane autobahns were traffic... Continue Reading →

Day 3 – Riquewihr

Packing up in the morning sunshine is lovely. We are done and dusted within about half an hour and hitched up on the back of the car. We will be sad to leave our first site, it was so quiet and so friendly. The only down side was that they wanted 8€ a day for... 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 →

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 →

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

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 →

An afternoon in Sluis

A really lazy start to the day for me. The Boss was up and pedalling early doors, he had a fixed car to collect 20 miles away so set off on his road bike in his civvies and normal shoes 'and' his debit card. I took advantage and had a slow start to my day.... Continue Reading →

Like Going Home

The weather has been cracking the flags for the last few weeks and true to form just as we decide to take the caravan out the forecast turns wet. Luckily, day by day as our arrival date gets closer the good old BBC start to change their predictions, it might not be that bad after... Continue Reading →
