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. Only takes a few days back from Asia and I’m back into campervan mode! Our van is cleaned, had a bit of DIY maintenance, and we’re off on Friday for a couple of weeks in the UK house hunting. Just noticed Bordatlas (or board atlas!) is now available on…

Index for this trip HERE After 8 weeks and almost into September, we are fortunately still blessed with pretty good weather. On leaving La Rochelle we headed on the coastal roads through some reasonably generic tourist towns until we got to Les Sables-d’Olonne. Les Sables appears to be a better…

Index for this trip HERE We started week 3 counting bruises on Mel, but apart from the multi-colouring she was fine. We opted for a day off biking and instead went on a good walk to one of the little mountain villages, passed a gorge and waterfall we didn’t know…
