In the words of Sandy (the late great Olivia Newton John) from Grease. "It turned colder, thats where it ends". :D

Thats all folks. Home in the morning. Finally. Been another nice day here but suddenly turned cold, windy and grey. Forecast is now rubbish next week.

I am sure Michelle will have a list of facts, costs, average nights per stopover, gas use, miles on the bike, miles in the van, how many chickens we ate, lunches and dinners out and how many bottles of Leffe Rituel and Grumbleweed I drank but for now thats it.

Quite the trip really.

My highlights this year were as follows.

Isle of Arran in Spring / early summer. Fabulous and wall to wall sunshine
Northern French Alps (Beaufort Area)
Lac St Croix and the Verdon Gorges
Pyrenees (despite the bike issues)
Salcombe area, South Devon.
The van. Its been awesome. I did wonder what it would be like on the high mountain passes but it was absolutely amazing.

The not so good

Southern French alps. Too busy
The south of France after St Croix. Mental heatwave was horrendous and bike issues. Bike replaced in September.
The rest of France on the way up I found boring.

Lots to do when we get back but for now the last few pics from Flamborough. Same time next year? :D

So I'm home and its been mental. I ache everywhere, everyone seems to know Im home and won't leave me alone despite not telling anyone where I was or when I was coming back so as I still have a load of duty free scotch left I thought I would neck that and post one last collage of photos from the best of this summers epic adventure. You could have a competition. See if you have been paying attention and guess where they all are from the Scottish Islands to the med coast. :LOL:

Two posts as it wont let me enter more than 20 at a time :D

Well I know where the first one is Barry - and it ain't Dorset! :)

The 16th one must be in Scotland as it has the sock-less monster in it. 😐

I should have tried to put them in order but couldn't be arsed. I just grabbed a few and sent them to postimg.

I bet I cant name them all myself. Imagine if I had worn socks with flip flops. Oh the shame. I think Germans do that. :LOL:
