Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

[Steved55]

We're at Clos Bouyssac near Touzac on the river Lot. Warming up again today after storms sat night. Lovely site on the river bank with pool and bar run by friendly Dutch people. Have to be careful boarding on the river - most of the time it flows very slowly but at random Pierre somewhere must open some sluices and it flows quicker than I can paddle! 25 euros a night with Acsi and facilities first class

Some great recommendations there. Route planning for October now, thanks.
Enjoy

I bet none of these places are open in the winter ?

Rest of trip in Catalonia I'm at a campsite, near Palamós, testing it out for a trip in August with the girlfriend and her daughter. So far it's passed everything!

Parked in the carpark by Beaumaris Castle £6.00 all day (regardless of how long/short time you want). The big carpark/field on the seafront charges £7.50....or £15.00 for vans I even saw a Caddy turning away. Outrageous discrimination IMHO. Will not be returning.
Took a trip out to Puffin Island. Saw lots of birds, a few puffins, couple of curious seals & a couple of porpoise fins. All too far away to photograph.

Drove 240km down a dirt road so she could have a dip in a thermal pool by the sea

Love Beaumaris and we always park on the big car park on the sea font as it's a lovely view. Won't be at that price though - no need to charge different for vans as you can't camp there or anything. All they do is lose business, so silly.

We're camped at Kingsbridge Caravan Park, only a couple of miles outside Beaumaris. There's some fab looking pubs in town which we may well have gone to for lunch this week, but not with a £6 (or £15) surcharge. On street parking is max 60 minutes, so sorry Beaumaris, we'll be taking our hard-earned elsewhere. Ridiculous

She looks very happy that you made the effort! Good job!

Drove Nelson (which the T6.1 has been duly named) down to the car wash, he had a good wash & brush up ready for a couple of days in North Norfolk then on to The Cotswolds to meet friends for a couple of days.

Most of France only opens June to Sept.

I never pay to park. I’d park 2 miles away and walk in before I get mugged off by a greedy council.

Technically yesterday, but a trip from Sourh Wales to Vanbus to collect my Hex panels. Nice day for it too.

Another warm welcome, this time at Red Wharf Bay. Didn't even see Craig Charles (IYKYK)

Let’s hope you didn’t see Rimmer either.

The way I'm reading the grammatically awkward sign is that the owners of the car park must have at least one camper in there as they're not allowed to have no campers.

Just tell them it's a motor home.

Most of France only opens June to Sept.

And even then, they only seem to open part time. It always amazes me that you can walk through almost any small french town at any time of day to find that there's absolutely nobody around.

Yepv, absolute ghost town
