After 8 years of owning our little cavarno, we are having naughty thoughts about selling it. Not because we want to up-size or down-size or upgrade, but because our plans for the next 12-18mths aren’t covering many long van trips. We are thinking cycle trekking, backpacking etc for next year…. …
Low power/boost on Ford TDCi engine On our last trip to France, our van experienced what appeared to be a major fault, such that it struggled going up hills which is unheard of for these vans! It was as if the turbo wasn’t working properly, or for whatever reason the…
All photos from this trip are HERE, previous installment HERE I think that leaving the beach made us feel a bit ill, a bit flu-like and bunged up – the realisation of home set in! We opted to try the Verdon-sur-mer to Royan ferry to avoid a long drive, but…
All photos from this trip are HERE, previous installment HERE Our 5 fun filled and relaxing days by the beach were obviously needed, and most of our aches and bruises went away. My swollen wrist had gone down and no longer made any funny noises. However, you’d have thought a…

All photos from this trip are HERE After what feels like a long time, we’re off again on another trip! Though in honesty, this is more of a long holiday than a trip as we will are going away to do something specific, so we’re not randomly exploring this time. …
Thought it was about time we posted again as it looks like we’ve not been up to much. The thing is, we have, but nothing as long or as challenging as previous trips, so not really worth saying much about! It also looks like the van hasn’t been used much,…
Blimey! 2012 was an amazing year, with the first 3 months spent in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, and then 3 month house hunting trip before we moved in in June. Then the last 6 months of 2012 were busy catching up with friends, settling in our new home, and…
