Hello all...little update time. I'm sat here in Glastonbury, it's raining but that doesn't matter because we're warm and cosy.
So we're on the road and have been since Monday having decided to leave a day later...good move as it turned out.
We bumbled along at our own pace and headed down towards Marlborough just as a point to make for initially. Stocked up on foodstuff and got to Marlborough about 6pm. Found a place to stay for night and then went for a walk all around the High/back street.
Next morning we headed down the road to Avebury, parked up next to Silbury hill and had some breakfast...nice and easy day spent there, good long walk with Dougal and not bad weather.
From there we moved on and found a place between Bratton and Westbury..big white horse on the hillside just off the B3098. Great views from atop the hillside...windy but again great inside the van and cosy. Found another place to stay overnight and awoke to fantastic views and sunshine.
Spent a fair bit of time around there sorting out the van and cooking up grub and then later in the afternoon we headed to Glastonbury taking in a few villages that we just headed towards just to be nosey.
Plotted up at Drapers the shoemakers...£2.00, convenient and quiet around the side. Wandered around the area and looked at the shops...great if you're a hippy and into alternative lifestyle, to be expected in Glastonbury really...great vibe man!!
So that's where we are about now. We're a little higher up than planned and may go towards Chedder Gorge...see what Aggy fancies when she crawls out of the pit!
So far i've slept really well, better than I have at home. I'm slowing my head down and pace of life, feels great already. Despite the weather being a bit overcast and rainy it has not dampened the feeling of being free and out the rat-race. It's only been 4 days and we're already loving the pace and freedom to go and do as we please...working well so far.
Van is running spot on, all the build is working as it should be and seems that we are in business. I'll try and do a few pictures and updates along the way if I can but sort of happy to be away from internet and all that. Got into the bad habit of spending too much time on the various forums i'm a member of although they have certainly helped to get us to where we are now.
Overall...100% happy with how things are going and looking forward to being on the road as long as possible.
