Just about to set off to do the first few sections of the Teesdale way. The plan is to take the van and car, park van at finish, drive to starting point, walk, retrieve the car, move on. Not much public transport in Upper Teesdale. Our first overnight stop is Cow green, I know Obanboy used to...

https://www.caravan-salon.com/ Started yesterday, we're there on Thursday, just for a look. Anyone else going?

The weather's not as warm in Italy as I'd hoped, but it's nice for walking. So we've decided to do some of the Via Francigena., not from Canterbury, only the last 1oo km or so from Viterbo to Rome. We started this morning in Viterbo, And walked to Vetralla. As usual we parked in...

We're heading to Italy nxt week, but Mrs G wants to call in to the south of France (and I want to drive over the Millau bridge), so which route is best? From Calais, Left of Paris, right of Paris or round the ring road. We'll be using the Toll roads so hoping to do it in 2 jumps to Millau, so...

Someone helpfully :censored: folded in the passenger side wing mirror, now it just flops about and Mrs G has to hold it in position when we're at speed on the Motorway. It was a bit iffy before that, only going half in, so I bit the bullet, removed and and dismantled it. The motor is only...

The only carpark that allows motorhomes seems to be the Castle carpark, which opens at 06:30am, the trouble is, I want to get a bus that leaves the bus station at 06:35am. Apart from a pair of roller skates, have any locals any suggestions, the bus in question is the 93A.

Solar controller on my Ctek d250s looks like it's kaput. We're in Lisbon at the moment and will be heading north tomorrow. Anywhere on route where I can buy a controller and some wiring?

You'll be allowed to ovenight, but the bad news is that it will cost you. Typical bl00dy Redcar and Cleveland.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59977978 B*gger, just sent off for new Passports. Hopefully we'll be off by the end of February.

After Mrs. G took up running a few years ago, I now have to plan our jaunts around Parkruns. This last one was no exception. 1st Saturday was Amsterdamse Bos, she did the half marathon on the Sunday (the main reason for the trip). 2nd Saturday was Zigelwiese in Halle And last Saturday was the...

Made a late decision and booked the ferry for 12th October (Mrs G is doing the Amsterdam Half marathon, postponed from last year) and bought the Kwells. Apart from the usual Passports, EHIC , insurance etc, what else is needed? So far I've got; NHS Covid pass Book a test prior to departure Dutch...

France eases travel for UK and six other countries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56364290 I'll wait till after the stampede.:eek:

I've had the CTEK battery to battery charger in the van for 3 years now, with no problems. I decided to add the battery sense module to keep an eye on my now 3 year old battery, the phone lists the sensor in the Bluetooth settings, but the app just won't connect. Anyone else had this problem...

Fancy doing it as foot passengers, is it doable, worth it, anyone done it recently? Any tips?

I'm struggling to find somewhere to stay near Granada. Any recommendations, preferably outside the city but near transport links. Cheers.

First night on our 3 month hunt for the sun and the sound on the telly has packed in. It's an Avtex and it's only 2 years old. What a lump of junk. Any recommendations as to where we can get a reasonably priced 12v t.v as we drive through France? Now fixed.:)

It's Carnival time in Spain mid to Late February, we're thinking of heading to Cadiz. Are there any others in southern Spain that could be worth a look?

What's the best winter route? We're thinking down to Toulouse, heading to the coast near Narbonne via Carcassonne, then down to Barcelona. Or would it be better to head for Irun, then across to Barcelona? We're in no rush and will try to avoid toll roads where possible.

I'm not religious and neither is Mrs G, but she's wondering if it's possible to do the last part of the Camino, Sarria to Santiago, with the Motorhome in tow? The idea being to park up at the end of a section, get public transport to back to the start, then walk back to the van. Drive to the end...

Mrs G's last week at work next week, a rough outline of our route planned, ready for the off early to mid January for 3 months for some winter sun. Hadn't booked the ferry/tunnel yet as not quite sure of the exact dates and wanted to see what effects the Election would have. BOOM, a letter...
