Tam n pups winter trip 2022

[Gina M]

Safe journey Northernraider hope weather improves for you. Holyhead is the biggest dump i have ever been in, well one of the top 10 for only go back if essential.

I absolutely agree spent the night there before ferry to Ireland a few years ago, what a shit hole.

Told Tam that when I had a chat with him this morning, decent restaurants don't exist (I was on my way to Ireland when I used to that four letter "W" thing)

If you weren't a stowaway on the car deck you wouldn't hear them.

Anchors away ...

Feck sake , well this could be interesting ... I'm boarded and right at the front of the fecking boat half on the open deck. I asked if he could put me back a bit behind the trucks and he said no . Feckin banker!! And it's meant to be stormy . Dogs won't be happy.

I didn't say anything earlier but we had our MH placed like this many years ago but at the time we didn't realise that our dog Lily would be so terrified as she'd never shown any signs of being bothered previously even though we weren't with her. She was literally scared silly for life and we had loads of problems with her from then on and ended up never being able to use ferries for anything other than a VERY short crossing where she was up top with us and even then she was petrified.

I hope your pooches are okay - at least they had you with them.

Yeah they were absolutely fine.

 

[Northernraider]

I'm not sure I'm parked where I was meant to park hate trying to find places in the dark but if not I'm not far from it. A wee harbour round corner from the port. Its quiet and dark it will do lol .


Night y'all

 

[Gina M]

So happy you are all safe and back on dry land

Life is a journey, you just have to enjoy the trip....
Hoping to meet up with him on the road when I head of in a few weeks time (further south & a lot warmer!)

 

[Northernraider]

Not as cold or as damp over here , I've had to mop loads of condensation off my windows every morning for the last 2 weeks , this morning not a drop. 12° man that's almost summer.

I wasn't parked where I was meant to ...about 100 yards up the road is the carpark with 3 other MH on it . This wee bit I pulled in to is like a boat graveyard in daylight. But it served a purpose .

Just having breakfast then I'm gonna head off .

 

[Northernraider]

Filled up with lpg again at a wee coal merchant place, it only took 10l but I wasn't sure as heating been on every night the last week. The guy very kindly offered for me to fill up my water tank and bottles too so all set now bar some diesel. It's wild out there though very very strong winds and it'd lashing down now. I've 335 miles to do today as planning to park up around arundal tonight . Hoping the wind buggers off as it'd not pleasant to drive in

 

[Suenliam]

We have a yellow weather warning here in SW Scotland for strong winds this morning. Calm as a mill pond

Yeah that's where I'm headed.

 

[Northernraider]

Stopped in Knutsford services , for short doggy walks and lunch , still 4 hours 20 minutes driving to do . And I'll need to pay crazy service station prices for diesel too as I'm needing it now . Breaks my heart

 

[The Coops]

Tam, if you are going down the M40 wait till you get to Banbury if you can and fill up at the Tescos just as you get to the town proper, by the way is that Lenny's pad in the background?

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Yeah that's where I'm headed.

Some nice walks for the dogs especially up the top of the road around the lake.
Also just where you walk into the shops they do a nice breakfast.
