Planning to head there next month on our way back from Skye

@Bigsidavies. I know it's never exactly cheap but do you know how much that tuna was by any chance? I'm interested as I bought a piece from the fish counter in a supermarket yesterday and the price worked out to an eye watering £40 per Kg.

Of course I do, I’m a value-orientated Yorkshireman. It was €27 per kilo.
The black grouper was €37.50 per kilo.
It cost me €22 for a piece of each, although that tuna slice was huge and fed both of us.
It came off this bad boy

Moved on to Nazare today which holds the world record for the largest surfable waves at 84ft.
Nice place. Van is parked on an unofficial aire near some woods on the edge of town.
Beer overlooking the beach with the smaller waves.

Bargain for the fish. Apparently Google translate doesn't work for Yorkshire but I just consulted my Yorkshire / English dictionary which confirmed what I thought 'value-orientated' actually meant.

Back from a weekend at Skelwith. Weather was awful unfortunately. Quietest I’ve seen the lakes in years. Remind me never to park near pine trees. I’ve spent most the night pulling them out of everywhere on the van!!

I headed over to the Falkirk Wheel after. Only 15 minutes apart. Also another note the chaps at The Kelpies said that you can overnight there for £12.50. Toilets open 24 hours and the barriers are dropped at 10pm and re opened at 8am so no access to any vehicles after that. Seems reasonable if you need a safe overnight spot

If you’re heading south Obidos is worth a visit

We were in Obidos on Friday. One of the best little places that we’ve been to on this trip.
Stayed overnight in the little aire next to the aqueduct.
You’ve probably guessed now that we are heading north.

Almost 400 mile round trip to collect a seat

Departed 6am and back by noon as traffic was very light compared to now when I took the screenshot for here.

It was dry, but the van has shifted a good foot to the left of the photo after the ground failed like a sand castle!
I will now need splitter glueing back on and bumper painting.
