Not quite solo when digital …
Using 4G, mifi or campsite wifi means that one is never alone, or I’m not with my extended crew, and am very happy to be able to watch Line of Duty, Champions League, Federer playing the tennis opens, – currently Madrid – The Good Fight etc etc via Prime, BT or Sky Sports subscriptions.. →
Gushings …
No this is not a post about how one’s stress/urge incontinence is managed beyond the onboard toilet – still haven’t added the SheWee to the equipment set – but I want to note the simple pleasures that I on many occasions actually verbalise to myself given that I’m travelling.. →
Moving Dwellings
Enjoy seeing the variety of travelling homes/hotels:
Landrover Defender – converted army ambulance for John & Donna’s 2-year epic
The Rolling Hotel – carrying a bunch of older than middle-aged Germans or Dutch. Never seen one of these before. Zoom in on the trailer… →
Into Portugal; Cabanas: Camping Rio Formosa
Easy journey from Dos Hermanos, near Seville, to just across the border and into the Algarve, staying at the above campsite, without electricity, for an extremely reasonable price, even including a discount for the ASCI card.

Bottom of Spain; Tarifa – Camping Rio Jara
Lovely setting for this site, and only 3 – 4 km cycling from Tarifa. These beaches are very much kite-surfing destinations. Tarifa – very pleasant small historic port and walled streets, and town plus area has a more ‘young’ vibe, due to the kite-surfing. Possible to get.. →
Campervan Repairs – Fridge, Electric Step, Malaga
Having had the fridge repaired before leaving the UK – the ignition for the gas operation was not working costing a significant price due to the need for the fridge to be taken out – following successful operation for several days, this time it would ignite, but then not stay lit. Decided.. →
Andalucia – Olvera: Via Verde de La Sierra
Stayed on Camping La Puebla Blanca, just outside Olvera, cycled the Via Verde to El Coripe station – gorgeous route to see Andalucian countryside in the Spring; nb – very steep to cycle down to the track, and it’s downhill to El Coripe, hence uphill the 21km back, plus then another.. →
