For those following the journal (s) will realise we feel we made a huge error in judgement going to St Valery en Caux last night.
Well the place got worst if that is possible. We had made arrangements with our french close neighbours that they would move over slightly giving me a tad of angle...
Still killing time in the sunny but windy (cold) north we came into the tarmac car park aire of Doudeville. 2 had obviously stayed overnight but we were quickly down to ourselves and the 2 euro water.
Decided that as we only needed drinking water the adjacent Carrefour market was the place to...
Having got up north because of the weather, we found ourselves hunting around for something to do but then the wife had a dodgy tummy so cycling and walking too far ruled out.
We decided against Fecamp and Jumieges as we had been there before so Cleres has had a few mentions so off we went...
With the ignorant bloke gone first thing we moved into a more appropriate parking spot this morning before embarking on the 31 Kms to Dieppe.
Picked up some literature from the TO which contained good local walks and cycle routes for potential of another day here or at least a cycle.
Got down...
We wanted to start the avenue verte from Gournay en Bray, however the travellers were in there an no hope of leaving our motorhome unattended so we moved on to Les forges eau but didn't go much on it for a tenner with leccy when we don't need leccy so we went to St saire and parked on a nearby...
We have been to Sully several times. We see it as a place we know we can get in, is free, with dump and water, lovely small town and chateau.
When we here last year we cycled to Gien. It is not a great ride. Hardly near la Loire and mainly roads.
So we went off towards Orleans and noted that is...

It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
This holiday will be 28 days...

Having done a few journals and one "live" one and listened to the feedback that it is more preferential for most to enjoy a thread with interaction rather than page clicking, I am going to try the Thrournal, a thread and journal and better sounding than a Jouread which might make me sound a bit...
These are the places we have been to previously in Germany with information taken from previously posted material by ourselves.
We havent done a lot of Italy and I am unsure of how many photos we took but created for when we return. We had a friend there and left our van at her place while I flew back for a couple of weeks work
I have already posted about these and created a journal, but the journal was created incorrectly and the map part of things didnt work so Jim destroyed them at my request and am slowly but surely adding them up. Apologies if you have seen them before.
