We decided to spend September touring UK, now I have to admit that the weather could have been better but were only stopped from following our plans 4 days the rest we enjoyed, any body else enjoyed September in the UK .
:doh: Just realised all my photos are on my phone not I pad so will have to change over :imoutahere:

Traveling over the Llandegla Moors at the beginning of our holiday the heather was worth a picture.

Bala Lake well worth a stop for a cup of tea.

Wonderful. Way back in 1974 we did a tour of Scotland in October staying in Bed and Breakfast or hotels. Truly beautiful. Often we would be the only tourists staying. So plenty of mixing with the locals. All the hotels were on the brink of closing for the season. Great fun. Fabulous scenery and fantastic food.

Motorhomes are made to move, so we did.

Moved on to Borth had a lovely day and evening there, sunset always magic there.

Moved on to Aberaron and had a look around before moving.

Weather was warm so we stopped off at Carew stayed a couple of nights,

Enjoyed looking around the castle and was lucky enough to catch the Iron Man going right past

2,600 entrants swimming 2 Miles cycling 112 miles then running 26 miles. What a privilege to see part of it.

More to follow off to watch 'The Big Build'. Amazing programme.

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
So true carol . Ralph and I are on our last 3 days of touring Scotland . The NC500, and the islands of Dura, Islay and Arran .
It's been fantastic. Great weather until the last 3 days , and no midges ! fantastic food , lovely scenery , and lots of history .
We've met Canadians , Americans , Chinese , Dutch who all love our country , with all its history . We are both tired , as weve crammed so much in. But it was worth it.

Have to agree Bev, always something worth seeing and enjoying.

From there we moved on to Tenby

Then we thought a complete change so we headed down South hit the M25

But well worth the journey we have arrived at a camp site on the side of the Thames path in a large field lovely peaceful site but easy to reach lots of places on our bikes.

Our van tucked away through the gate on the Thames path

Cycled to Walton on Thames and Weybridge one day.
Next day we got more adventurous and cycled about 6 miles to Brooklands and Mercedes World

We then cycled on to Mercedes World

Nice pics thanks for sharing ,.............. What's the site on the Thames please ?

It's Apps Court Farm £21.50 a night with electric but because we choose to park down the bottom end by the river you need to use your own loo and shower.

We can't go into the LEZ zone (van to old) so it's really handy for us and easy to get to Hampton Court Station and from there into the city, as we can leave our bikes at the railway station.
