Lovely pictures!!
The hill in front of you is Criffel...
This is the same hill from the English side of the Solway Firth at Silloth....
I'm sure you'll know... but you're just around the corner from a great birding place...

) and there are some superb birding areas Caerlaverock is OK but can get crowded so tend to steer clear, Carsethorn, Mersehead, Loch Ken, Laureston, and the Queens Forest to Newton Stewart and other off the beaten track spots are our favourites. We have actually trekked up to the summit of Criffel in the days before Arthritus decided to visit my knees 
. It’s a truly wonderful county missed by many thankfully who think Scotland starts proper North of Edinburgh or Glasgow, and long may it prevail.

Following your post no. 30.504 namwaldog my friend Shirley Blossom and I decided to visit Geldo, (west of Valencia) today to see the street art ourselves. I won't duplicate your pics so here are a few I don't think are on your post.
Looking at your post there's a few we missed but we also got the motorbikes!
PS, do you remember bumping into us in Ypres, Belgium? Can't believe that was 7 years ago!

Yes Wendy, we remember it well. We all biked in to Ypres from the Aire with the unpronounceable name!PS, do you remember bumping into us in Ypres, Belgium? Can't believe that was 7 years ago!
I think I helped one of you with a bike chain?
We also chatted with you and your dog on the Cite d'Europ (when we were allowed to stay there!)
Really liked the 'Art' in Geldo. The detailing on the man's whiskers was amazing. Just missed you a while back at Keswick as we live nearby.
I seem to remember MH's used to be allowed to overnight at the Castle and they perhaps saw an opportunity, so built the CL down by the river.
Didn't work out and now allow overnighting as a 'Serviced Aire' at the site of the CL with online donations suggested for doing so.
The Solway Firth is a tidal estuary and the sands are always shifting creating the wetlands. Lovely area though.

Across Derwentwater from the Keswick club site.
Thanks for the info about Geldo it’s great seeing all the artwork and the Aire is good also. I hope we can catch up with you again soon.

Found in a barn today near where I live. From what I can discover it is probably from the early 60s. I'm sure chaser will know.

Crossed into France today at Le Perthus...
And down to the Aire by the Marina at St Cyprien.
Always find it a bit snug here, but managed to blag a pitch on the far end of the front row with a wide grass verge next to the hab door!
Skies cleared after lunch so had a nice walk along the marina & promenade.
Stalls ready to sell fish direct to the public..
A French Sitooterie...

Keswick and Derwentwater from the approach to Skidaw. Annoyingly we were in cloud at the summit.

Leaving S.W France, we started meandering north to our next overnight at Gaillac.
Raining as soon as we arrived so didn't get to see much!!
I'm old enough to remember when Airports were called Aerodromes!!
Unusual fire escape from a disused hotel..
Moved further on in the morning to Montauban and then the N820, one of our favourite roads in France.
Favoured with blue skies and cottonwool clouds
with some interesting houses...
But not sure what its open every day for??
To arrive at Soulliac..
Lovely weather so had a walk along the Dordogne and into the town.
Local wildlife sunning itself..
Some lovely old buildings..
And some that we weren't sure about..
Interesting water features....
Spring around the corner??
Serenaded on the way back to the MH!

We're at Ludlow Touring Site, Morris Leisure. Lovely site and facilities.
Photos of Ludlow.
Trouble has been transport. Bus service is unreliable in that new company haven't fully installed the previous timetable. Last bus into Ludlow 1301 and we're left to believe no bus to return. However in asking driver there was a bus returning at 1725, the only bus returning since 1301. The bus did return at said time.
Other option, call a taxi however phone signal is terrible and we couldn't have phoned for one anyway.
We are here for another day but struggling to do something, we'll see.

Delamere Forest CACC this weekend.
8 and a bit miles round trip today. Once past the visitor centre and Old Pale Hill it was a lot quieter.
The hidden trig point among the (apparently redundant) pylons. Jodrell Bank and the Lovell telescope easily visible (in person, anyway).
Continuing South, partly on the Sandstone Trail, past a park up with a very nice RP Sprinter and a big Auto Trail (Kelsall Parking Area on Google) eventually headed down to the Boot Inn, and some very tasty Weetwood ales. Very nice sitting outside in the sunshine.
Back north again, parallel to the route out, past the Kelsall equestrian centre, very busy. Clouded over and light rain, so timed our pub stop and picnic lunch perfectly.
Back past Eddisbury Hill Fort, again with views east and north.
Back to the van, and Hot cross buns, toasted and buttered, tea and coffee while the legs recover!

Try The Abbey Vale for a pint n food whilst you are in Delamere, or The Carriers near the Lake.
Not been in The Boot for a long time.

Pagan wedding at Avebury stone circle yesterday afternoon. As we weren't close family or friends we weren't invited to the sacrifice!
She obviously didn’t realise how easy it is to get cut off on the sand bars at Wells next the Sea.
Luckily it had a happy ending
