Hello

Welcome and thank you for coming to look at our web page. We can't believe that its over ten  years since we started motorhoming. Our European trips have taken us as far as  the Russian border in Estonia and the Syrian border in Turkey. We have also gone beyond Europe and rented a motorhome there  as you can see from the list to the left.   

So we hope these pages give you an idea of what you can do with a motorhome whether your own or one hired for your holiday.

To the left of this column you will see to the list of links  to our other pages where we give a brief description of ourselves, our travels and also lots and  lots of pictures.

Since 2020 none of us have been able to get the travelling in. So have a look at our latest page to see what we have been up to.

What's new in the Diaries?
Now that the world is opening up a little, despite Covid still being with us here's hoping for a bit more travelling.

Enjoy new adventures.

As well as any blog  page (which appear only when we are on the road) we have created a page for each of the countries we have visited, see the column to the left. Each country section  has chapters relating to particular places visited in that country.

We have gone for an overview  rather than a detailed diary containing the duller details of daily life being of the view that you don't want to hear what time I got up or what I found in Lidl.


For general tourist detail there is always Rough Guide or Lonely Planet books. Up to date details on campsites can be obtained from the many many books available. Our aim is to visit as many countries in the European Union as we can. We still have a long way to go.

The purpose of this diary is remind us of our trips, download photos ( click the button below  for additional photos) and generally to act as a resource that friends and family can access to find out where we are and what we are doing. We also hope that it will act as a reminder that you do not have to spend a fortune and travel long distances to see some lovely sights. Our hobbies are birdwatching and wandering around old towns and buildings - the following pages reflect this.
