A light hearted and (I hope) amusing record of some of our Campervan Trips. It is mainly intended to inform friends and family where we are, plus, to keep our children updated on what is happening to their inheritance. I do try to include details of Camp Sites and Aires, we visit. Checkout the "labels" listed in the right margin, Please comment if you feel inclined, at least then I know I am not talking to myself (again).

A disappointing day in terms of weather, Cloudy and cold in the morning. The sun came out about 13:00, and, temperature rose to a pleasant 14c.
Not such a scenic walk as yesterday.
We have lunch in the Fox and Pheasant Inn, which is surprisingly busy.
I conclude that 8.69 miles of walking is about four miles too much for me, now.

Home.

A very mangled white van, with several Police cars and an ambulance, in attendance.
Brilliant weather, full sunshine and 16C.
One "weakness" of the location, the 3 mobile signal is week, so, our internet connection is not very good, and TV reception, via internet, is compromised, not good on a "full soap night".
Tuesday, 08/04/25
Cold overnight, but, another brilliant day, full sunshine, 17C.
There is, I am told, a path from the site, through the forest, but, given Kathleen's anxiety, because of her condition, and, her (unfounded) distrust in my ability to find my way, we walk there via the road. This is not a problem, since there is minimal traffic, we only see one car in 1.5 miles.
Colehill is a very pleasant village, with a church, and, a pub (The Greyhound). Unfortunately, the Greyhound is shut on Mondays and Tuesdays, so, good job we took a picnic lunch and a drink with us, "just in case" !
As we set off to return, we see a "public footpath sign", there is a lady, nearby, attending to her garden, so, we ask if the "public footpath" will take us to Englethwaite Hall. She conforms it will, so, reassured by a fellow woman, Kathleen is willing to return via that route.
