Haoppy new year everyone. After a cock up meaning we didn’t have a meal out last night, we did still see the fireworks over the slopes and some fun at the Snow Ball. Lots of french kids throwing fireworks at each other. Reminds me of an old enterprise I had…
After a couple of iffy days of low cloud, poor light, and snow blizzards, today was absolutely stunning and showing off the area to its stunning self. Really very pretty and superb. Great sky, great snow, and hardly anyone out playing. How can these pics not tempt you over? Hope…
Blimey. Its worse than we imagined… We got up to snow, and after driving some more we got more snow – and as the forecast was even more snow we decided to head to Valloire – cue 5 1/2 hours of snow driving… Our snow tyres worked well even…
The plans are coming together! We’ll be leaving UK just after Mel has a girly xmas party on 11th December and we’ll be slowly heading to Valloire (http://www.valloire.net/uk/il4-winter,skiing_p81-skiing.aspx ) in the Alps for 6 weeks or so where we plan to become decent (ish!) snowboarders and also to vastly improve our French…
We’re in Faborg in Denmark, almost Denmarked out! Probably back to Germany in the next day or two, then home in maybe a week? Scary! Poor van has just clockd 37,000 miles – still on original tyres which are still legal. Just. Probably be 38-39k by the time we swap…

Well our 5th week away is over, our second full week in Denmark. Had a very busy week this week, seen and done far too much as usual. Though now, sadly, hometime is on the horizon so maybe only 10 more days in Denmark, a week in Germany then home. …
We’ve survived our first week in Denmark, though a mix of lovely sunny days and windy & wet gales. Its a shame a much of the enjoyment in Denmark is outdoor activities such as cycling. In the wind everyone we’ve seen cycling looks to be hating in and in agony! …
Well what a change! Had two lovely sunny days in Denmark and found two great wild camping spots. Yesterday we were in Viborg which was a lovely place and we stayed by the lake and decided to run around it (6.5m) in the morning in order to burn off the…
Hi from Denmark. Weather much better today – phew. Just in Skive and unlike its namesake we’re not skiving, we found a laundrette so sadly doing a huge batch of washing. The good news is we moved the van to a convenient parking space where there is unsecured wifi in…
