Germany kept offering more motorhome stopover gems and Koblenz did not dissapoint. The motorhome parking in this city is on the river, and you are spoilt for choice of walks and things to see. Koblenz is where the Moselle and Rhine rivers join and the river is actually very active, making for some interesting andContinue reading “Back in the UK for a bit”

I hope this post finds you well and safe during the global Coronavirus pandemic. I am in social distancing mode in the UK, after just making it back in time in mid March before all the borders closed. It’s been strange in a way that as routines go, not much has changed for me asContinue reading “Staying at home in the motorhome”

I’ve been on the A4 road north of Paris many times, but I’ve never seen it so void of people and cars. I had to drive from Frankfurt to the UK just as France not only closed it’s borders, but also wants people to stay at home to help curb the spread of the CoronaContinue reading “Driving through Europe during the Covid-19 pandemic”

So as I’m preparing to sell my current motorhome, Rayquaza, I stopped at the motorhome show in Dusseldorf on the way to the UK.

I had an incredible time in Turkey, and now trying to make my way to Spain. I’m not too happy with the voice over sound quality on this video, so please forgive me, but I hope you enjoy the scenes in there.

It confirmed the heavy sound that vibrated through the whole campsite when it arrived. Wow! I went to have a chat with the young couple who owns it and the story behind it is even moreContinue reading “Starting life on the right foot”

After Germany I went to visit my friends Bryan and Sheila in Grimentz, Switzerland. Wow. Up, up and more up the moutain passes till I eventually called them to say I’m not sure Google Maps is leading me on the right path, and I’ll just wait for them to come fetch me from the village.Continue reading “Wow, Switzerland!”

I’m currently in the UK and staying in Rayquaza, despite one of the coldest winters ever, and tons of snow! I was curious to test Rayquaza’s ability to cope with conditions like these and I’m pleased to say she kept me warm and dry, without a problem. I run the gas heating throughout the nightContinue reading “Surviving the Beast from the East”

I am catching the Bilbao to Portsmouth ferry today, with a special cabin booked where Olli can come inside as well. Its a 24 journey. The ferry company allows you to check in the afternoon before, and then sleep in your motorhome in the Q. Having done this journey before and trying to get theContinue reading “Desperation in Bilbao”
