decision made, we set off next month as we did last year, no doubt with Bevs words ringing in my ears, it is too early, too cold, too wet, no sites will be open, we should go later, but later we are off to Sweden and Norway and February is our anniversary month, 36 years, they don't even have anything to associate with such duration but we always try to be away for our anniversary.
We did a very similar trip last year, just after the turbo was fixed, but I didn't really plan it didn't really think the turbo was fixed TBH, so we did loads of miles, not real agenda (nothing wrong with that) but we hadn't agreed how to go, or even north south or east when we landed. this time I am sort of planning it
if it goes wrong I will try and offload some blame on @chaser, who in turn will blame it on Mrs Chaser, I have read a few of their recent travel threads which have included this area, apparently Mrs Chaser (Julie?) does the planning Mr C just does the doing
All we have so far is a leave from home date of 7th Feb, possibly going via Van Bitz for the auction alarm fitting, first time with an alarm in 4 years, bound to be an omen
So channel 8th or 9th, then head south, possibly to La Mailleray, new find last year, love it, good distance down, well placed to get on way down to possibly Parc Verger or Twin Lakes for a couple of nights, before we do the canal
Now back to planning, only other fixture is we have to be back for the 23rd, not really anywhere near long enough to do it properly, but we can always come back .......
when it is not too early, might be warmer, may be drier, sites will be open etc
