Holding Page

Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

Another wild camp!

We managed it again - another wild camp in the van!

DD said that she was staying over at a friend's house, so we decided to make the most of it and head off in to the countryside again. However, after what happened last weekend we decided to check out our mobile phone coverage first to make sure that we would have a signal in case we were needed.

I dropped DD off at her friend's, threw last minute bits in to the van and we finally headed north at 6.45pm, hoping to be parked up before it went dark. We had a couple of spots in mind, and after pulling in to the first one and discovering another motorhome already parked up for the night, we carried on to our second choice which was empty. We got there just before it went dark.

It was lovely - not too busy and lovely views.


This morning we managed to get a bit of a lie in with the dogs for a change. And we woke to this …


A beautiful view and the promise of a good day for walking. So, after a hearty breakfast, and with the rucksacks packed with sandwiches, snacks and drinks (for the dogs as well as us!) we headed off towards Great Asby Scar and the limestone pavements.

It was a lovely day - a bit hot at times and a bit chilly with the wind that came and went - and we stopped for lunch with a lovely view.




A fabulous place and we even saw the Red Arrows! I think they might have been on their way back from somewhere.


All in all it was a lovely walk, and then back to the van for a cup of tea and a piece of the chocolate and courgette cake I made yesterday, before heading home.
