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…
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…
Today we rest. The plan is to do some more washing then visit the falls. Rather than fight the traffic and the need to find car park etc., we decide to catch a bus. There’s a stop right outside the campsite and buses go very 15min. Everyone’s at the fenced…
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…
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…
Our camp site last night was not the best. Surrounded by trees and not a breath of a breeze. It was hot and muggy, (humid). Muggy and Buggy. Mosquito’s and No-Seeums feasted. We are set up to deal with mosquito’s, but the ‘No-Seeums’. They are minute and just fly straight…
A good sleep. I was tired yesterday. Yes, and grumpy…:) Despite being only about 1k away from the railway line, I didn’t hear a peep. There is a recurring process going on here, with the weather. This morning it has dawned a beautiful clear sky but I am sure cumulus…
A fine morning. Great. A few little things to attend to on the wagon. Top up the oil and coolant. Check the filter housing for leaks. Problem solved. I’m pleased to report the mods to the (Caranex) seem to be working well too. I drilled a hole in each side…
What a night! Jen woke me at some ungodly hour saying ”do you think we should check the tent”. Good call as there must have been 30L sitting on the roof in a puddle! As Jen mentioned yesterday, we seemed to have developed a slight diesel leak from the filter…
First up. Happy Birthday Charley. 8 years old!! Charley is Sarah & Tim’s eldest and is a gorgeous, smart wee girl. The day has dawned wet and miserable, but our time in Edmonton is coming to an end. After a breakfast at Saratoga, a superbly run family restaurant, serving large…
