I made use of the Post Office and purchased some stamps, before we moved off from their grassy area, which had been our resting place for the night. We took some minor roads to start the day with lovely farming countryside. Mostly arable, growing maize and soya beans. Villages with …
We were hoping to catch up with Kevin the Ottawa Land Rover club President, before venturing into the city. For whatever reason, sadly, it didn’t happen. On the way out of the Wesley Clover camp site I popped into the office to inform the staff that it was one of…
It is a beautiful morning and I am writing as we drive along Highway 7 towards Ottawa. The horrible humidity of the last few days has disappeared and the sky is pure blue. It’s a good, smooth road and the traffic is light, so pleasant driving conditions. Last night we…
An inauspicious start to the day. At 6am I decided to go down to the Landy and get the Sat-nav to update it while we had wifi. While there, put the key in and started it. Everything seemed fine. Went back up to the room and managed to get a…
Yesterday was one of those days when everything went well. Today was rather different. I came back from my shower to find Dennis looking very perturbed. ‘She’ won’t start.’ The battery is as flat as a proverbial pancake. Perhaps the red light on the control panel did mean something was…

As we lay in bed the rain started. Fine all night, then just as we are about to get up the rain starts and soaks the tent. However, it didn’t last long and the sun came out and dried the tent for us. A peaceful night. After writing the blog…
What a hot and sticky night! This morning just before we are about to get up, it started to rain. Steady, persistent rain. Great. After shower the chore was to take the Caranex down, soaking wet. I have to say all credit to the Michigan State Campsites. Well run and…
It’s already 1st July. The time is simply flying. In order to avoid queueing for the shower, I was up early (7 am) this morning. Having seen the queue last night, I did not want that experience. I was lucky, no waiting. The day started dull and overcast. We thought…
We camped up a forestry road last night, as there were no suitable places on the lake front. This camp site, a good one. Far enough off the main track, to be isolated. In a little clearing, big enough to allow the sun to shine on us and the solar…
