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 →

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 →

A Rainy Day In

Still in The Netherlands, we woke to a hazy world with a BBC promise of less than a 40% chance of light showers over lunchtime. Forever the optimist, and the fact that I was about to put on my last pair of clean knickers, off I stomped with a bag for life full of dirty... 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 →

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 →

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 →

Day one … What could go wrong?

Alarm clock set for ridiculous o’clock, haven’t had to set an alarm since our last shift in work in November last year. Never mind, this time it’s because we are off on the road again. Awake ten minutes before the dreaded alarm startled us into wakefulness, stumbled into the bathroom, rubbed the sleep out of... Continue Reading →
