I’m sat waiting again in A&E in Bergerac. Lower right arm broken (hairline) in two places…apparently I’ve been driving for three weeks like this…no wonder it was sore! They say they want to plaster or immobilise it. Depending on how they do it I may not be able to drive. Not enough Schengen time...

Does anyone know if North Berwick RFC car park is still ok for overnight? Sadly our folks have the Lurghi, Xmas is postponed and we need somewhere to stop awhile.

We’re planning a stop at Hawick next month, does anyone know if all the roadworks and construction crap has gone yet?

Does anyone know a decent auto electrician in this area, preferably mobile, who can sort out the dead electrics of my A-Class drivers side window winder and mirrors. Fiat say it’s not their side, dealer will look at it if I get my habitation check done there ( at exhorbitant cost) and call in...

Any folks over here enjoying ‘la canicule’ in France? A thread to compare notes… We’ve just slowly hopped through France down to the Col des Aravis where we’ve managed to find a modest 28C. 30C yesterday in La Pesse in the Jura. Most stops have been between 28-30C. We skipped a stop at Gray on...

Does anyone have any advice on where best to stay and how to visit the Giants Causeway without getting too tangled up with the commercialised tourist stuff?

Anyone had problems with smart alternator as fitted on recent (3 year old) Euro 6 motorhomes. My engine battery charge voltage fluctuates randomly between 12.4 and 14.2V, it has always seemed somewhat erratic but now much more so? It wouldn’t start for 10 minutes or so after a break this...

An area of 2-3 square feet of the thin top layer of the roof on my 3 year old RT Pegaso motorhome has become debonded from the roof. I am not quite sure what the material is, but it feels too thin to be a structural layer of a composite deck. RT has rejected a claim for repair as the weasel...

We’ve had good deals and service from Plusnet for our phones and mifi, but we have learned BT are closing it down soon. So we need to change sharpish before we go away. Can I ask what people reckon are the best deals at the moment? We travel in EU for 90 day periods, so need good roaming...

A grand we town to break your journey on the A20….and a free Aire with paid Flow-Bleu water, emptying and EHU services

Anyone recommend a good spot to stay overnight before catching a morning ferry?

A funny sort of day. It started last evening with a young policeman summoning me across the Area de Servicios in Almadén in Spain and requesting we do not leave before 10.30 today. ‘El Presidente’ is coming and wants a picture of him with us, apparently we are the 10,000th visitor to his nice...

This may be of interest if you are passing the vicinity of Cordoba. Highgarden Castle, home of the Tyrells. Otherwise known as Castillo de Almodõvar. Very hot here today!

“Although there are currently some issues with the supply of fresh vegetables, caused by the poor weather in Spain and north Africa, the UK has a highly resilient food chain and is well equipped to deal with disruption.” says Gov. Strange, we’re in France, there seems to be plenty of fruit and...

Thanks to the Hip-op we are back hip-hopping on top of the world (or at least the Peak District) once again. Next challenge Spain and the Sierras, and even the Pyrenees.

Netflix is cracking down on sharing of Netflix. They say you have to log in your device to your home WIFI network every 31 days. As much as we don’t mind paying a subscription this looks like it’s going to cause problems for those like us who travel much more than a month away from home, or who...

Fiat Camper Breakdown number 0080034281111 is the only way to contact them. It’s an International Freephone that many UK mobiles cannot or will not connect to, and even if one does it’s at the privilege of paying as an international call…an expensive way of listening to music. Previously you...

Does anyone know whether you can still pay to stay overnight at Eyemouth Harbour? We’ve stayed there before on the quayside (opposite the town), and paid harbourmaster. But can’t see this on the app now.

Recovering from hip operation has given me time on my hands to plan future trips. I’ve got a late summer/autumn 3 month trip to Poland in mind. Route (in brown) on the map attached. (Ignore the text above the map) From anyone who has been there before, can I invite comments on places worth...
