More of a where have we been for the last week.
Twigged that was Charmouth as I skipped back and forth through the video... sorry... but recognised it as the first place we stayed at when we got our camper last year, will go again at some point as it's a lovely site and ideal for all points from Lyme to Weymouth.
I noticed you went to the beach at Beer, make sure you go back for the Beer barrel rolling festival they have through the streets of the village, great fun. We stayed at a nearby campsite that had an airstrip through the middle of the site. The kids loved it when planes landed past their tents / camper.
:
If you go back up the road a little bit, there's a footpath off to the left with a really nice circular walk through fields and woods and up the other side of Golden Cap. You've earnt more beer with a longer walk by the time you get back to the Anchor - maybe add a seafood platter for luck!
Drive in cinema time. Anniversary date night in the back of the van
Not recently, but my last trip away was back up to the highlands in Feb to enjoy the snow.
Had a great time but got to say, after initially raving about their performance on mud last year, the Michelin Cross Countrys were abysmal on snow and recently on wet grass. A bit disappointed really, they had been ok on mud, ice and frosty roads. Only done 4000 miles on them too so a long time left on them yet. Anyway here’s a pic, seems like a lifetime

Currently camped on the Murray River in South Australia. Clear sunny days but cold nights. Due to covid19 restrictions only allowed to travel in our own state, borders were about to reopen but Victoria had second wave start up so borders shut again
Still camped on the Murray river, different outlooks during the day, fog in the morning and then sunny days, ideal for solar. Its winter here but usually sunny up along the river. Trying out the planar heater I just fitted, my wife loves me again.
Sunset time here, couple of drinks in the van, cheers all
This post seems a bit mundane after the last one from Oz but yesterday we had to go over to Cirencester (which wasn't that unusual) but, knowing that the return journey home would coincide with lunchtime, we put the brew kit in the van and stopped for a snack at Jollys Farm Shop & Takeaway on the A419 between Cirencester and Stroud. The sun was shining and we both had a lovely smoked salmon pâte sarnie and cake with a cuppa brewed in the van overlooking a not very busy paddock. Been past the place loads of times but never stopped and are both now very glad that we did. It was also just good to get out in the van for a change.
When we have been to the UK and toured around we love it because it is different from what we normally see and do
We have just got home from 3 days on the Isle of white ,then 5 days in Dorset .
a great little trip

Wow
Very jealous.
In the Peak District this weekend, new Dometic awning added to the setup and got some new, more comfortable chairs (not pictured) absolutely stunning here!
Looks great, what's the site?
