Tam & co the great winter escape

[Peter and Julie]

No luck at the cemetery either. Fortunately i got a couple of bottles filled at a petrol station so ive about 30 litres now . That will do for a couple of days while i try and find a tap somewhere to fill tank. In slavkov u Brno now for the night.

Had any knocks on the door from orange sellers yet?

Eh?

Try a search for public toilets near your location, failing that bulk buy bottled water from lidl or similar. Bob.

Funny about the water situation, we filled up at the local repsol as it was at €1.84 and easy to get into and after filling they offered us water free of charge. Nice.
Placencià in Spain.

Fair enough, you need to head back to sunny Scotland. I believe they have no shortage of water

People do not appreciate how different are the winter temperatures in Iberia, and the Balkans and other E. European countries.

 

[corconx]

Did you find some water?

Good trip all in all, I bet you’re excited about getting back now and getting stuck into the Vario once again.

Knowing Tam's luck with the weather it'll be buried in a 10ft snow drift when he gets back!

There was plenty of that in Greece she is used to it.

Yes,but not 10’ high, Greece isn’t Scotland

Tam had to give up on one road even with chains on.

Agreed, but the Van he undertook his adventure on was a brave thing to do where as modern vehicle would perform better.
This is something else l am looking forward to him moving the Iveco on as l fully expect him to turn a profit.

I always thought Scotland was special so the snow will be 'too' ... what colour is it???

Knowing Tam he will make a fortune on it.

I am not sure with the layout he is proposing, which seems to be a very personal choice, which is fine if he intends to just use it, rather than to sell it.

Talking about the Iveco he is in at the moment.

The centre of Telc .... castle of telc and the zikov castle where we stayed last night

Zikov castle was a film location for a series i watched last year called "knightfall" it was very good and i thought the castle was very cool.

Hoping to capture it with the drone this morning

Looks like a very pretty place Tam

 

[L' Hobo]

Nice pictures but whenever I see them I think, is Britain missing a trick by using tarmac instead of cobbles, there are no potholes and it always looks good. (I know, sometimes looks can be deceiving)

Strange what goes through ones head?

 

[scousebird]

I live in a town with many medieval buildings, we have cobbles in the Guildhall square (below) which are lovely but they are being replaced by new flooring in a "modernisation" of the square, it's such a shame and is a great dividing point in the town.

We are twinned with Honfleur which has huge areas of cobbles and I can't see them being "modernised".

Amazing though how many old cobbles are being dug up in many french towns and villages just to be replaced with the same old bland white new sets that are the same wherever you go in the country.

Old codgers who are not to stable on their pins need safe level walking surfaces
