Bit of both as a fair bit is off road. Easiest bit was the tissington trail bikepacking equivalent of a newly tarmaced road everything else is rough.

TBH I'm not and have resisted joining as I'm likely to get kicked off for some of my political and general common sense opinions. Might have to get the OH to join for me. Thanks for the heads up.

Van packed, food in the fridge/food boxes. Off to Shell Island for 3 days/2 nights. Two sets of friends joining in their VDubs - we'll be in the Tent this time as daughter coming.
Paddle board packed. I 'may' have a little dip in the sea. We couldn't have camped previously in one vehicle with daughter - just wasn't room. Removed middle two seats and the table system, then slid the rear three all the way forward, so we have a big 'boot'. Camper bed is still in place under the parcel shelf.
Daughter bringing laptop and ipad as she has some 'work' to do for a 'commission' with The Imperial War Museum ! That will be run off 'solar'.

Trip went well last week. Ice cream, coffee, cake, beer, paddle board, bit of a dip in the sea and a bit of walking. Oh and a new flag pole. Meet 'Shaun'

Big trip planning finalised now. This is for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. (We are going to Italy in October for the propper celebration as MrsF hates Ocober (anniversary of brother and father's deaths).
We've just decided to start the camping trip with a nice Spa Break at a hotel on the way to Anglesey - one night. Got it for a very good price booking direct with the hotel. Looked at a couple of other hotels, and it seems they want an extra £100 just to use the Spa facilities - e.g. swim and a sauna - blooming rip off (pushing the price to £250 with no food). Just paid £328, which includes two meals (dinner and breakfast), a bottle of prosecco, 50 minute spa treatment each, and three hours in the Spa/pool.
Then we have 3 nights camping in Benllech, 1 night at Portmeirion camper park (including evening meal at the Castle - highly recommended to anyone with a camper - blooming bargain when two days access to the village is included in the price, and use of the hotel facilities including heated outdoor pool), then two nights in Mwnt, a night at Whitesands and finally 3 nights in Tenby. We've still a week off work after this, so who knows where we will go - depends on the weather !
