A few pics of Llanes.

[Lenny HB]

We were heading for a Camper Stop in the Picos national park but after spending more time in Llanes and having to stop for supplies only made it as far as the edge of the park.
Now in a nice car park at Cangas de Onis, ½ doz other Brits here, not Funsters even so I spoke to a couple of them.

And of course I got the usual French twat who has made a beeline for me and parked a few feet away when there is loads of space.
Photo doesn't do it justice a lot closer than it looks in the photo and the twit can't park straight about a 25° angle.

Oy, wash your mouth out. That's the good stuff €1.60 Lt the cheap stuff is only € 0.79 Lt
Either is far better than the stuff @Just smiffy will ply you with.
I won't forget that wine of his in a hurry.

We stayed in Spain for 5wks last winter and the wife drank the carton wine from mercadona supermarket and said as long as you give it a good airing it wasn’t to bad, cheaper than the Don Simon as well

True, that is the expensive stuff. Still best chilled even though it is a red.

Best chilled then chucked, I ain’t worked all my life to drink red wine vinegar. Horses for courses though and I am training to be a wine snob.

Now at the Camper Stop at Posoda Dr Valdeon in the centre of the Pico National park.
Very painful on Lenny's wallet €10 a night even worse we are going to spend 2 nights here. Going to do a bit of mountain walking tomorrow.

Yes I’m 66 years new and yes still learning. I thought it was amusing AND I might be new to Motorhoming but started with a two man tent in Provence in 1976, that’s 42 years touring Europe. I hate the word newbie it’s a tad arrogant?

 

[Lenny HB]

Saw a couple of Griffin vultures on the way today.

You are taking it a tad too seriously. Didn't you notice the smiley at the end.

 

[Lenny HB]

Fired up the pressure cooker tonight (doesn't have quite the same ring as "Fire up the Quattro") Boeuf Bourguignon tonight.

If the cattle are in the field next door make sure the slip rails are tied on. The little darlings can lift the poles and come to rub their bums on your motorhome .

No cattle tonight. Had pigs do that in the New forest.

How is your toe recovering?

This is my cheap glug of choice from Mercadona,although it has gone up 39% since last year. Best served chilled.

Sorry Lennie had a few beers saw the word newbie, red mist etc! I’m allergic to it. I am new to motorhoming but wifie and I have clocked up 12k miles in 15 months and I am learning lots from this thread thank you. Keep posting

It's doing really well. I still think I'll lose the nail though . Problem now is I've got knee pain from limping for so many miles . Should by OK with some rest.

Thanks for asking .
