We stayed in Camping Babou again today. Our second two night stop. This equates to a very relaxed schedule for us. We also all managed a lie in this morning – Flynn got his ablution walk at 7.30. By the time we returned the campsite owner had deposited a load of sourdough on the doorstep.…

We left the camp site quite early as it was a big driving day. It might also be a big camping week so first to a local supermarket: Tesco. Tesco is about as inspiring in Hungary as it is in the UK. Despite that we managed to stock up on booze, a local sausage and…

We took full advantage of the facilities at Gran Camping then set off for Malyinka via a musical road. But first we had an encounter with a dog agility course and then some corpses. It wouldn’t be Eastern Europe without desiccated corpses or piles of bones. Vác is on the wrong side of the Danube…

After a walk along the shores of Rutland water and an excellent breakfast at the Rutland Garden centre we set off for our next appointment. We were camping near Wantage where Off Grid Power Solutions would be inspecting Jones’ innards to see if an extra battery could be squeezed in. We set up camp at…

We didn’t sleep well although we didn’t get up early. We are not consistent I suppose. During the night I realised I’d forgotten to unpack one of Denby’s deepest darkest cubby holes so… back to the M&C workshop. Luckily whilst we were there Jack agreed to fit WiFi and fix the cupboard light which had…
