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 temp was WAY too hot for Jackie but it wasn't so bad in the shade

Across the Camargue

The mountains above the Cote d'Azur


Diano Marina in the Italian Riviera



and into the South of France again,

St.Tropez

one of the more 'colourful' locals !!

and an 'interesting' van ... strangely I thought of Louey !

Then on to the Ardeche


Note the French attitude to road safety here ...

The Pont d'Arc






That's all folks

Ian

The Ste Tropez and Cote d' Azur pics were a flashback to great days mate. Thanks

Looks like he/she (?) would fit in on here

Now I don't have to struggle for what graphics to put on the van

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)

Ian

great photo's,might try and go abroad next year just trying to find time to fit everything in,too much to do and not enough time

Great photos young Mr.Hulley.

I notice that Louey has been carefully studying the photo of the Tranny.

Great photo's Ian...you can't beat looking at old holiday photo's when either you are feeling rough or the weather is crap..Ive just been looking at some of when we went to Pembrokeshire in June and the weather was baking and I had a great birthday on the beach with Champagne and strawberries..posh aren't I.....

Aye Steve, God knows how he'll get all that lot on his van

Had to be done, felt like carp when I got up at lunchtime .... was sent to bed at 6.30 last night after not remembering how I drove home from work . 1st one we've missed in 6 and a half years that we said we were definately going to

I'm no Jed obviously but I did have some Official helpers ...

These figs were growing in the orchard we camped on near St.Tropez ...


Not bad for a £70 s/h Canon though

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 ...

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'

Fab! Can't decide between France and Scottish Highlands next summer............
