Lenny's on the Road again

[Northernraider]

Temp in the van has dropped 19° so I just turned the heating on.

Southern softy

 

[Lenny HB]

Only seen one with them on, only required for urban areas do have some in the glove box. Even the French don't know if they are required for Motorhomes. Loads of lorries without them.

Known as getting value for money out of the heating system I paid for.

Just sensible what's the point of freezing your balls when you have a heating system that can keep you nice & comfortable.

 

[FIDGET]

Please keep us updated with any costs per night. I can see already why you don’t bother touring the U.K. much. Also love the way you set off without any concrete plans of where the next stop is .Really enjoying this adventure .
Thanks Lenny

Quite a change in temperature this last two days here in Norfolk tee shirt and shorts to shirt jumper and trousers almost overnight, presently in the CCC Sandringham site and it only 9 deg out there. Toastie in the van though at 21 degs

 

[Lenny HB]

Got out of bed this morning, flipping heck, 6° outside, 11° in the van, I put the heating on and went back to bed. Heating on the timer now on.

Had a wander down to the village a bit later now 12/13° no wind today & bright sunshine so OK in the sun.

 

[Lenny HB]

Lunch in the sunshine.

And then a little bike ride.

Saw a few Cranes

A white heron.

A few Lapwings.

Finally a Kestral.

Well it started out as a little bike ride got back 18 miles later with a sore bums, not ridden the bikes for ages.

If you find it too bright.
I fitted a remote dimmer to mine. It remembers the brightness you set it too, and being remote, you can hide the receiver.

We’ve stopped at Lac du Der Chantecoq Several times but on the other side (it’s free ) if you get there late October you can catch the migration of the Cranes, literally 100’s of thousands of them it’s an amazing sight and the noise is something to just goes on and on all night

Cycled past the other Aire, closed at the moment it has barriers and pay machines now.

Edit:
It's the Aire on the same side we went by, not the one you mention.

Nothing special for the foodies tonight just bangers & mash.
