Given 2-6 weeks to live 2 weeks ago so every day is a bonus

It looks like you need to update your profile details. Isn't that a nice motorhome you have there?

Is it a bus or is it a boat?

A bit of a greyish day and overnight at the Northumbrian Waters Fontburn Reservoir on our way up to a few days in Edinburgh for the Fringe.

The Canadian geese were quite regimented in their feeding routine.... They would go line abreast one way whilst feeding and then single file on the way back!!

The Reservoir was completed in 1908 and features an amazingly built 'Black Hole' which I think would look amazing when in full flow!

Northumberland Water's website says open 8 - 8, so is overnighting permitted or did you just wing it?

Northumberland Water's website says open 8 - 8, so is overnighting permitted or did you just wing it?

We didn't travel far yesterday so arrived at Fontburn about 11am. We like it here so paid for a days parking, £5, and then an overnight, £10.

Woke up in blazing sunshine so solar panel was charging batteries but also greeted by the dreaded 'rotten eggs' smell.
Checked both leisure batteries, one of which was warm and smelly.

Sourced a new battery at Hexham availailable at 1400 hours. So left Fontburn at about1030 and drove down to Hexham.

Collected and fitted the battery and drove back to Fontburn arriving here 1700 so just paid another overnight ticket at £10.

Just looking for a scrapyard now to weigh in the old battery and defray some costs!

Website to book and pay for parking and overnight at all their reservoirs is here....

Brittany today - Locmariaquer. A completely different style to the Loire!

Granite and pale blue shutters - it could almost be the Ile de Rey Mousy !

 

[Barti Ddu]

Hiked up to and through the natural tunnel at Torghatten, Norway.

 

[Barriesimpson]

Beautiful.

We left Fontburn Reservoir to blue skies after watching the geese feeding with one keeping watch...

Continued up to the THS at Danderhall but only stayed overnight as it was packed to the gunwhales and they were about to erect a marquee for a Ceildegh(sp)

Moved back south for a bit more isolation and left the A7 onto the B7007 & B709 towards Innerleithen.

Our Coffee Stop..

Then our lunchstop just approaching Innerleithen...

Had a wander around Innerleithen village and then carried on B709 to St Mary's Loch and overnighted at the National Trust Scotland car park at Grey Mares Tail....

We're booked into The Green Frog at Moffat as we need to service the MH so we'll have a quiet day round by Megget Reservoir...

Another day, another lake - Chateaubriant this time.

Sadly, still no fish ….

Looks nice. Is there camping nearby?

 

[Manic]

No prizes for guessing where we’re staying, very involved letter box cap.

 

[cliffanger]

Looks nice. Is there camping nearby?

The aire is within walking distance of the lake.

€10 with all services, including electric, and cycling distance to the town.

It also comes with its own resident cat ….

She especially loved Cliff …

She was very keen on our van …

I think she wanted to come home with us

View from the top the recently restored Sherpa-built Vega Stairs, which take take you from the shore to the top of Ravnfloget.

Just a few of the 1,400 plus wooden steps to get to the top.

Our black Ducato campervan parked way down below. Can you spot it?

We thought Dinan would be full because it's free. But managed to get a space. Love the town, but the hill seems to be steeper every time we go there.

 

[Mikey RV]

The changing seasons, but wonderful colours.

Another mountain, this time in Mogán close to the Puerto de Mogán. And it's only a baby one.

Took a drive to SLAPTON Sands/ Torcross today, bit of a journey from home. Always wanted to pop down there, thought of staying at CMC Start Bay sight. Glad we didn't as roads are very narrow and we'd have got stuck somewhere especially if taking a wrong turn.

It rained, had hoped to have lunch at Billy Can Cafe, but read opening times wrong, closed on Thursdays.

Apparently 3,000 local inhabitants had to leave their homes to all allied troops to live and train for Exercise Tiger.

Ribbitt!!!

Nah, they're frogs not ribbits. Ribbits have long ears

Couple of big tree fungusesses (!) from today's dog walk. The second pic is on a big beech tree a few doors up and although I can't be 100% sure, I've a feeling it destroys the tree's root system ? Mentioned it to the householder and she just said "Oh, I'll just get my husband to pick them off when he gets in." I'm not sure it's that simple though ?
Any positive id's would be welcome.

On the way from Mogán to La Presa de Las Niñas en Tejeda. If you zoom in you'll see the windy road

Grey Heron…..
View attachment 933619

I have five grey herons in my gum (eucalyptus) tree outside my bedroom window. They settle here every Spring and make a nest. A bit early this year. Fortunately their droppings miss the motorhome roof by about 3 feet, but they are very noisy.
