What are you up to this weekend?

Not a lot, but with luck and a cooperative surgery scar we are off on Sunday. Double glazed cab window replaced on 14th….. only been trying to get this done since January…..
 
Sitting having a beer at Camping International, Maisons Laffitte, waiting for my grandchildren to arrive. They only live a few miles away but my son has rented a chalet for the weekend. It's sunny and 27°.
 
I may be taking our 11 year old son to Doncaster Fat Cats Moto Cross to watch his best friend compete. Will go tomorrow morning if we do.
Update: going to Fat Cat Moto Parc in Doncaster to watch my son's friend racing his 65CC moto cross bike. He has been selected to ride for team GB in Finland in August.
For me it's a chance to get the motorhome out 💖
 
Nothing 😭 had lovely weekend in Cardiff last weekend which is where I think I’ve caught my first dose of covid 😭

We should have been enjoying our last days of our latest trip but after feeling crap last night and coughing a lot we came home.
First thing to do on arrival at home management got out the test kits. I have tested positive but she is clear. Thats the weekend on hold for now.
When we were at Fountains Abbey a family were blocking the exit from the cash desks. I politely asked if we could come past and a man turn towards me and sneezed on me and then sneezed on the rest of the group. Some people shouldn’t be let out of whence they crawled from.
Management at the time pushed me passed them knowing I would do something silly like punch him. It might not have been him but it proves some people havnt taken any notice of what’s been happening around the world or don’t care.

Hope you don’t feel to bad from covid. I’ve felt bad at times but mainly at night and the new symptoms of newer strain is night sweats. My mrs isn’t feeling great but still testing negative. We’re both just feeling knackered. All the best
 
The cough is the worst I have ever had as far as I can remember. I suffer with joint problems most of the time but this not helping. Management and daughter go into NHS mode so They are shoving all kinds of yuk stuff down me to try and ease the coughing.
No matter only five days in isolation for now.

Remembered. This was last night just below Arctic circle. 150 k (£13) no showers, electricity or toilets but full Moho facilities. Not bad price, considering Norway is so expensive. Upto now only food is expensive.
As promised, passed the arctic circle. Officially in the cold place, but it's warmer today than all of last week. The globe is the line. N66°33'.

Haven't done it in a moho but on a cruise. The snow line gets lower all the time you are moving north. Quite close to sea level at North Cape and right down to sea level in Svalbard.
 
Going to spitfire 's place :Grin: :Grin: :Grin: ! The Munchies (Munchie )are coming too:drinks::beerchug::drink:. We're having a mini meet, as the 14th being "Fête Nationale" I have 4 days off:clap2::clap2::france::france::party::party:.... week end included!
I hope we won't be cooking in the vans:hot::hot::sun:. Mind you It should be cooler there than here at my place!!:dance2::dance2:

Better get Max (the moho) at the ready!
 
As little as possible...

Given the temperatures that are forecast.

Instead I'm going to get up really early and try to fit a Maxxair fan before it gets too hot!

Off to Chester races today...my nephew Harry has 5 rides. He's currently battling with Benoit de la Sayette for the top of the Apprentice Jockey Championship. They keep swapping for top of the table!
We're taking a picnic and parking in the middle today..
Then tomorrow off to Nottingham to hopefully pick up a 'new to me' Mini Countryman Cooper SD All 4.

Two winners today ⭐⭐...what a fantastic day!
 
Finished our coast to coast ride on Friday, spent the night and next day in York, then headed home. More details of the ride on our blog (in sig) if anyone is interested. We took 5 days, which made it a holiday not a route march.
 
Burrs for two nights Thursday n Friday , Old Trafford for ODI v SA on Friday , Sat and Sun at Hebden Bridge CMC ( lunch at the outlaws on Sunday , my MIL is a superb Yorkshire cook )
Sat night eating out in Mytholmroyd , Tapas and wine bar .
 
First trip out in our new MH, 2 nights at Star Inn caravan park, in Southminster Essex, Friday and Saturday night.
Only an hours drive, so should be a good first test.

Is Maldon worth a visit and what are the cycle routes like around the area , cheers .
