We’re in Spain! Zumaia to be exact. The car park down the little industrial estate where Ortiz bung sardines into cans to be very exact. I’ll not post a picture because it might hurt our Instagrams.

We’re parked on the High Weald Landscape Trail which also happens to be next to a modern estate. The market itself…

Our goal was Ypres – initially we planned to stay at the aire but it’s miles out of town so we took the very last spot at Urban Camping, 15 minutes from the Menin Gate. The main purpose…

Today was an olde worlde travel daye like they had in the past. We did dome shopping (more new boots!) and some eating but apart from that not much. Except driving. First though was a walk for Flynn around the tree museum we’d parked in Lunch was at Nord See – I think the best…
