Quick update

We have done a lot since our last post and a longer version is under preparation. Until that is completed here is the potted version. After leaving Inverness we spent a few days at Blairgowrie and then moved on to Preston Pans on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Thirteen days were spent here then we carried on south to Trimdon near Hartlepool where we spent a week. From there is was on to Sheriff Hutton near York for a week then down to Manton in Rutland for one night. We didn't like the site so moved to Ryhall in Lincolnshire for a week.

The van then had to be serviced and have a few other jobs done to it at Roade in Northants and we spent a few nights in the yard of the workshop (free camping, yeh ha!). When that was done, and we had been removed of what was left of our life savings, it was off to Cambridge. First to Bourn Golf Club for a night, where we were visited by our friends from Bexhill, then to Great Shelford CCC site for a week. We liked Cambridge because we could use our push bikes to ride right into the centre of the city. The motorbikes didn't come off the trailer all week.

Now we are at Great Easton near Stansted Airport and we will be flying to Germany at 07:15 tomorrow morning to join in birthday celebrations returning next Tuesday. It should be an excellent weekend and we are both looking forward to it immensely because we feel we haven't had a holiday for a while. We will be on the move again next Thursday.
