We stayed at the Caravan & Motorhome Club site Bourton-on-the-Water.
This is a no frills site with no on site facilities, No toilets, No Showers you will have to use your own. So the no No:2 rule lots of people have for their caravan loo is a non starter here! Continue reading “Cotswolds May 2026”
So on our first weekend away we had an issue with the boiler.
Gas Failure message! We were on an CAMC site with electricity so no big deal we just thought our gas bottle was almost empty, which it was.
So Recently on a Saturday with nothing else planned it was decided that we should visit a Farm Shop that Mrs CA had seen on the Instaweb thingy.
Said shop was in Mossley. A surprisingly nice little shop with some nice produce and Not Extortionate prices. Various veg was procured and we left when I announced that there is another shop I had seen a sign for but never visited over between Stalyvagus (Stalybridge) & Mottram. Another nice little shop actually on the Farm. Cool kids play area and Alpacas.
Today we set off for France. First stop La Tranche Sur Mer in the Vendée.
We are catching the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Cean leaving about a 4 hour drive to La Tranche, a bit longer if we opt to use the Non Toll roads.
We have just returned from a fab week in Cornwall, mixed weather but Paul still returned with a sun tan.
Us at Newquay Towan BeachWe stayed at Sunny Meadows Tourist Park at Goonhaven just outside Perranporth.
Plans are already in place for a full year of camping in 2025.
Including : Cornwall, France & Wales
It’s almost time to depart old Blighty for la Belle France. 4 days to be exact! Woohoo!! Excited!
So our trip to France went really well!
We headed off to a small but perfectly formed campsite called Le Chant D’Oiseau just outside of Saumur. A perfect location from which to explore the Loire Valley.
But! On the way home we stayed 1 night on a ferry pitch just outside Dover and when hitching up in the morning my back went! Ouch!
So It’s Friday, it’s 5:45 & it’s time for Crackerjack!
Well no it’s time for our return to France!
It’s almost time. Time for our return to our beloved France.
There is nothing quite like camping in France, the French just seem to do it better, or is that just the wine and cheese talking?
We have not been to France since 2019, the year Before COVID so we are really looking forward to getting back in 2 weeks time.
