How Far do you go in your Camper

[BKen2]

On my recent UK/European trip spent 3 days at the Park & Ride in Canterbury on my way to Dover for the ferry and this Couple turned up in there Camper ..didnt speak much if any English managed to get from them that they had come from Beijing Thought I had done a few Klms (9500) ... wow.

Well about 400 mls so far on some trips round the island,cats at home are the prob as it costs lots to put them up in kennels or should i say catterys.

Did they drive from Beijing or did they put their moho on a ship to Europe?

What you have to do Trev, as the same as me is to put them in the freezer , not unlike milk, and thaw them out when you get back .
They do have a good shelf life.

Its only a thought.

From the amount of souveniers and stuff they left outside each night (dont think there was room for them ) they must have driven -
Language and signing implied they had driven

Isn't there a new Trans Continental Railway Service from China. The service started early this year!

I met a Dutch couple on a Lidl car park just outside Igoumenitsa a few years ago. We were relishing doing a big shop, cupboards bare after a month in the various bits of former Yugoslavia. They were headed in the other direction back to the Netherlands. Their motorhome despite only being a few years old was a bit battered looking, absolutely filthy, cracked windscreen and the odd dent. They were on their way back from China, on a 6 month trip covering 40,000KM - too much for me! They'd had a new gearbox flown over to them mid-trip! The world is opening up perhaps more than ever before for more adventurous travel - I thought I was doing well having driven to Istanbul, Moscow and the top of Norway. However I'm currently following the Youtube vlog of a Korean couple who took their self-build camper by ship to Vladivostok, have travelled across eastern Russia and were last heard of in Mongolia

Love the way these threads wonder ..from "How far do you travel " to "Cats dont go out at home" ..reminds me of the old joke from the trenches where the troops are asked to pass this message along the line ...." send reinforcements we are going to advance " at the lines end it was " Send three and fourpence we are going to a dance ":lol-049::lol-049:

Is it possible to train cats to dance?
I doubt it.
Poodles love to do the can can, though.

Ok, not totally relevant but nevertheless, a few years back we were in the Algarve over Winter, I had an interesting mountain bike (klein mantra) that a Dutch guy was taking a look at and in conversation he said he had "cycled there", I thought something had been lost in translation so sought clarification, turned out his wife had driven the motorhome and he HAD cycled from Amsterdam to Prai deLuz !
