Stuck at home with the lurgey instead of going to Cromer so I thought I'd try to cheer mesen up by uploading the pics from the summer tour. Hope you like them ?

Sete, South of France ... wild camping at the side of the beach

The mountains above the Cote d'Azur

Was somewhat less than convincing 'in the flesh' so-to-speak .... put it this way I believe it was taking it's budgie for a walk

Took some time to explain to the girls (after they'd stopped laughing that is)

Near Vallon Pont d'Arc, it's only directly accessible by canoe but there are any number of places that hire them out for 5,8,10 or 12km routes where they drop you off and collect you from a set destination. It's a memorable drive up and out of the gorge but it's not one for those scared of heights ... there's 2' of run-off gravel before you plumett off the edge (Jack was in the back hanging on to the interior ) but the girls enjoyed it.

Here it is in context ...
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 34&t=h&z=6

The photo of The Bus with the 'Terriers' sign is a France Passion vineyard just outside Vallon heading for St.Marten that we stayed on overnight but there are loads of campsites near the river.

Bren as you no-doubt realise we were about the only rhd van there 'No unicorns on the beach'
