Well, after some nailbiting we discovered that we need not have worried.. Roger the Rover delivered us to Hull with no problems. We had booked ourselves into Burton Constable which is a campsite set in the grounds of a stately home, in Pete's words after looking on google maps, 'an oasis in a sea of whale bits'. We parked on the side of the lake with views of Burton Constable Hall. If it wasn't for the sea of northerners that would decend upon us later that day you would never have known we were in Hull! We decided to leave the fishing till later in the week when it was quieter and after sitting in the sun for a while we were not dissapointed. The catch of the day was an awsome sight which we affectionatly ... read more

On a typical cold and rainy August day in Hull we loaded the Landrover into the container, As usual things did not go smoothly and with the lift kit the roof rack and roof tent we were about 4cm to high for the container so in the rain we had to take off the jerry cans and the roof tent to get the landy in.

(Donations welcome.) I have had a nice summer since finishing my degree (Desmond for Terri, but better than what I was expecting) visiting Seviilla (if you don't know about that already, it's too late), Sicily with my Mother which was amazing (met a anti-mafia squad, sailors and ... read more

Well I’d love to say I woke early and was off but since we don’t actually fly until 20:10 it’s just another day. But I did wake early and it’s a really beautiful morning, crisp and frosty but bright and sunny. Makes me think of Christmas and how strange it is going to be having Christmas in the summer time and also how weird its going to be being away from home at Christmas. I took a walk to the local shops photocopied my new driving license (thank you DVLA for getting it back to me on time) and then came back packed my backpack for the final time and just about managed to squeeze it into my travel sac (and I thought the travel sack was going to be too big!) for the uninitiated my ... read more
