This is a summary of the trip and went almost as expected and although we stayed a week longer, we were home in time for the Queens birthday street party in the village. The weather was not as good as we had hoped but we did manage to avoid the floods in France and most of the storms.
Regions visited - Santander, Pays Basque, Bearne, midi Pyrenees, Bordeaux, Gironde, Ile de Oleron, Ile de Re, La Rochelle, Ile de Noirmoutier, Vendee, Brittany, Finistere, Roscoff, Devon.
Number of nights away from 26th April to 9th June was 44 , including one night in Devon and one on the ferry.
Distance since MOT is 1969 miles, so drove about 1500 miles in Europe in this trip, quite low.
The number of places where we stopped on camp sites was 14, namely, Noja, Orio, Bearne, Lourdes, Le moulin, St Emillion, Oleron, Re(2), Noirmoutier, St Brevin, Carnac, Concarceau, St Pol de Leon.
We stopped at 5 convenient Aires on route, at a Gironde marina, St Gilles municipal, Muzillac superU parking, La Rochelle park and ride, Noirmoutier municipal.
Apart from forgetting the overnight bag for the ferry, the ACSI book that covered France and Spain, a slight leak from a window during the torrential rain at Noirmoutier and a few mosquitos bites, there were no mishaps. Even managed to loose a few pounds in weight and bring back a few litres of wine!
