The British Isles Tour

Originally the reason we bought a caravan was to tour Europe, not just for a month or two but for at least a year. It was clearly important that we had some practice - and to see if we were going to enjoy this carvanning malarkey, so the idea of a tour of Britain was hatched and we left our home in Saltdean, East Sussex on April 10th 2012 in appalling weather and somewhat apprehensive. Links to all the blog entries are below together with a note of what's included.
