2026 Days 51 & 52 – Barfleur and other meanderings
We’ve spent a good deal of the past 13 years wandering where the road takes us without any version of a plan beyond starting and end points.
2026 Day 48 & 49 – Cherbourg
It might have taken 48 days, but we’re finally in France. The plan is to slowly cruise the northern coast from Cherbourg to Calais, hopefully serving to both keep us within our mileage limit and deliver a last, if petite, French adventure.
2026 Days 44 to 47 – Exeter and that appointment
Well it’s finally here. The eleusive workshop appointment. Once more, our fate is in other’s hands.

2024 Day 92 & 93 – Saint Valery sur Somme
Well what a delightful surprise Saint Valery sur Somme turned out to be. It wasn’t on our original path but with a cornucopia of treasures to enjoy we end up staying not for one day […]
2024 Day 91 – Le Touquet
We’ve finally arrived at France’s northern coast, in Le Touquet. It’s an area we’ve not explored before, having crossed inland through farmland on previous travels. The plan is to stick to the coast for the […]
2024 Day 90 – Fromells
It’s fair to say that Himself is obsessed with all matters pertaining to war. Purely up to him, European travels would consist of stormed beaches, bunkers and battlefields, punctuated only by stops for burgers and […]
