We set off on the 26th August with a crossing booked for Wednesday 28th August but we thought about having a couple of days in Canterbury. We had been before but was a few years ago.
After replacing a dead water pump we wandered around Canterbury. We always stop at the park and ride and...
A knock on the door. The Ring doorbell showed it was the postman.
In his hand was a large envelope from Salzburg. What could it be?
Ripping it open revealed another load of booklets from the Castles Road.
The same map in English and the same Oldtimer guide book...
But this time it also had...
Another cold one today, but with the assistance of a small electric heater in the back we were unstoppable! Removed the bulkhead and floor, cleaned and rust cured any spots in need, and after one (mildly expensive) trip to Wickes I now have floor insulation and enough plywood to make a start on...
First official day of the van build! I've slept in a hammock in the back of the van for a couple of nights, but today the demolition has begun! I've removed the panelling, given it a good clean and stuck sound deadening panels to the walls and back doors. Snowed overnight so many tea breaks were...
As soon as we were back from the trip to Spain and France it was time to start looking for somewhere to go in the early summer next year.

The last day of this year's holiday.
The CCP aire at Cayeux sur Mer was really quiet overnight. Even the usual moped with loud expansion chamber was missing from the evening sounds.

Only a short run today from Lyons la Forêt to the coast.
With Max set to no tolls we seemed to be off on a magical mystery tour. I had imagined we would head north and bump into the A28. We didn't see it. We had to have crossed over it...
The journey took us to Eu and Le Tréport. I did think...
The weather had looked up by the time I got back from having a look at the river. Max the satnav was set once again to no tolls with Lyons la Forêt as the destination.
I had expected us to go via Chenonceaux and Amboise. Max had other ideas and he headed towards Tours again. Onto the department...
The yellow 🟡 warning of flooding in the area was once again off target. We'd had similar reports of both yellow and orange warnings in Spain and (luckily) they hadn't happened.
Once we were up I took the Nikon for a walk to see what the overnight drizzle in Bléré and surrounding area had...
A big journal entry this time due to crap phone signals and crap WiFi.
Saturday
The longest day on the road for a while. We were away from Playa Romana at a fraction after 10am.
The destination was to be one of two free aires in Pamplona. Neither of them offering services other than water in...
