I am on holiday tomorrow

[Kirstie]

Have fun! if you see a couple of bedgraggled looking touring cyclists plodding up a hill in the rain, then it might be us. Feel free to stop and offer us a brew...

We had a caravan 20 years ago Chris, only got back into it two years ago,. bought a lovely bessacarr cameo two years ago, fixed bed thingie.

Very nice van

Not been in it now for a year, due to hubby working too hard. Last year we drove from Fife to Wales in one day. It also rained every day for two weeks

Nowt wrong with mangey old vans, still the same fun

If you ever visit Scotland give me a shout, would be nice to meet up. Scotland is beautiful

Will do

I wonder if it was the same two weeks when we went? It was around August 8th (I think) as I'm sure I had my Birthday when we were away.
We spent the first week in Snowdonia where it rained hard every single day, was freezing cold, and the awning nearly got ripped off by the wind and then went to Mid Wales for the next week where it rained every single day, the awning nearly got ripped off by the wind and if it wasn't for having a 4X4 we'd have never got out of the field we were in because it was waterlogged

Much as I love Wales, we won't be 'vaning there again for a while . We're back there over Christmas for two weeks but that's in a stone cottage with a log fire

Anyway, have great time, maybe next year we'll get to Scotland by having a couple of overnight stopovers.

Would tend to agree, I keep my bike in the bedroom. Don't see any issues with that... Only ride I get in there... (there, thought I'd say it before someone else did!)

SORT THE HUBBY OUT............ HE WILL BENEFIT FROM THE EXTRA FIT MISSUS..... winner !!!

 

[Jane Smart]

My bike is a bit of a bugbear in the house now as my house now has dust and the minute I talk bikes he becomes deaf

At least hubby agreeing to put a rack on the van next year is a start.

It just means, I need to hire one and get my running gear out again

16 sleeps away from my lovely bike is not long? is is?

Yes it is

 

[Jane Smart]

Anyway, take care all, keep cycling and I will "see" you all when I get home

 

[Jane Smart]

Back home for the day ~ long story ~ then back off to the Highlands to the van again. Hope to get out for a wee while on the bike today

How is everyone?

Oh the weather has been great for us and we are having a great time.

Holiday finishes on Friday, so normal posting will resume then

[Scoosh]

Aye but while you've been away, we've all been doing 100km/m rides, up and over amazing hills and generally getting so fit that a CC LEJoG world record is on the cards

Hope you enjoy the rest of your hols
