well we are now back from our first motorhome trip and I have to say it was great fun in spite of the freezing weather and my chest infection!! We didn't forget anything important and Glynn coped great with his first time of driving abroad, albeit with me constantly whispering "hug the kerb" to him. We went to the Tour of Flanders before exploring Belgium, Luxembourg (stunning) and France on an all too short 10 day break.
We discovered some interesting things:
1. Mouthwash freezes if it gets cold enough at night and fairy liquid and olive oil turn thick and cloudy!!
2. When the motorhome warms up the mouthwash melts and the olive oil and fairy liquid return to normal as if nothing has happened!! :thumb:
3. I respond well to heavy doses of anti-biotics and managed to do my first 100km ride along the river Meuse in France, not bad for an old bird!! (smug grin)
4. Some campsites have a bizarre habit of only opening the mens toilets in low season which really annoyed me as I don't want to walk in and see men at urinals and sit on a toilet with no seat!! Surely the womens block being open would make more sense??
5. No amount of up/down/left/right rotation resulted in a TV signal from our satellite so that needs some guidance on.
I now have a shopping list of wants/desires/needs and will make sure I have my credit card at the ready at the Peterborough show.
