After a soggy night in the forest, the morning has turned warm and pleasant. A little explanation about my photography dilemma. The camera, a Casio Exilim HS is an amazing piece of electronic wizardry. It has enough technology packed into point and click pocket camera to give it ‘big camera’…
Last night’s fishing was singularly unsuccessful. Thank you for the loan of the rod though, Johnny. There were definitely fish in the lake, as I had masses of bites. Tim, you are the family fishing expert. I think they were only small fish and I had a very large hook.…
This Alpine and Mountaineering Society run campsite, was a credit to them. The facilities were new and though basic, adequate. A far cry from the previous campsite at Foster where nothing would work and it was falling down around you. After putting some friction modifying fluid in the gearbox and…
What a difference a day makes! It’s now green, wooded and very hilly. We are on the edge of the Catskill Mountains camped at Samuel Pryor Shawangunk Gateways (Gunks) Campground in the Mohonk Preserve. Back in bear country. We received a stern warning from the campsite manager, not to leave…
A cold but refreshing shower, it’s muggy at 9am! The sat-nav was set for Dennis, Cape Cod, mainly because that was the town closest to the coast of Cape Cod bay. The drive from our State run camp site, was through wooded glades and past beautifully kept period houses. It’s…
It was a very full on day today. Hectic even. Up at 6.15 am, having survived a night in Walmart’s car park. Oh dear. Once upon a time in another life, I frequented the best hotels! It seems a very distant memory. Still, it’s just somewhere to sleep. It wasn’t…
Maybe not the swishest campsite, but it was great for us. We were camped about 170miles from Seabrook where we have just arrived. A day of high temperatures, picture postcard villages and endless traffic. After stopping at a campsite not far from Seabrook we turned down their offer of paying…
Up early. Our location by the restrooms and shower meant a flow of people passing by us, so no hanging around in bed. Several people stopped to chat and gave us advice on places we should see on our way south today. Our first stop was a look out point…
After a great night last night with friends, and friends of friends (Maria & Colin) and a sleep in a lovely house, we were up and after breakfast with Margaret, said our goodbye’s. A Land Rover connection which started with uncertainty, ended in triumph. The new rear stabiliser bushes proved…
Up early at 7 am and on the road by 9. Our first stop was the Reversing Rapids Centre. So called as the strong tide from the Bay of Fundy pushes the water back upstream. The resulting disturbance to the water makes it look like rapids. We wanted to check…
