Skiing for Christmas in Morzine! We stayed at the same place we did last year which is an incredible spot, shouting distance from the bakery. We didn’t ski loads, but had lots of time to chill. For the 2nd week, we were joined by the Colemans and Rees’ and the Rees’ usual ski group and […]
Final outing for the caravan for 2023 we went for a weekend away to the small Caravan and Camping site right next to the Diddly Squat farm near Chipping Norton with Rachel and Roberto and their new camper van. On the Saturday we completed a Treasure Trail around Chipping Norton which was good fun!
Everyone had such a nice time last year that we decided to go again to CarFest once more. We bought ‘big early’ tickets which meant we had access to the site from Thursday afternoon which we took full advantage of. The first night had a silent disco which we missed out on last year so […]
Last stop on the Tour de France! One night in Reims and again a great little campsite. Campsite had a pool and a small restaurant but they didn’t let us steal any Orangina glasses.
On the way back from the Tour de France we stayed at Dijon for one night. The campsite was nice though clearly used to high turn over with most people seemingly staying for one night. The site was on the river so we cycled up a short way to the lake and went for a […]
As part of the Tour De France holiday trip we spent 5 nights in Taninges with the plan to do a bit of cycling in Les Gets/Morzine and generally see what Morzine is like in the Summer. Thursday 3rd We arrived in Taninges around 1pm and dumped the caravan at the campsite with the bikes […]
On the journey between Ile d’Oleron and Taninges as part of the Tour de France we stopped for two nights in Trevoux near Lyon. Tuesday 1st Travel day from Jul 2023 : Donzenac we arrived at the campsite at around 3:30pm and were told to select our own pitch… facilities were basic, but sufficient. The […]
As part of the Tour De France 2023 trip, we stayed for two nights in Donzenac on our way in between Ile D’Oleron and Morzine. Sunday 30th We traveled from Ile D’Oleron to Donzenac reasonably trouble free. Motorway slowness around Bourdeux caused us to take a bit more of a scenic cut through the route, […]
As part of our summer Tour De France we are spending 8 nights on Ile d’Oleron. We have a pitch among the trees and managed to squeeze the caravan tightly along one side leaving a nice front garden area. Saturday 22nd The journey from St Malo to the island was long but fun. We used […]
We kick started our Tour De France summer holiday with an overnight ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo. Due to booking late, there was only one cabin remaining which was a three berth, but bonus was one of the window’d cabins which included continental breakfast delivered to our room in the morning! We started to […]
Caravan holiday at Hardwick with the Bovingdon group. Arrived late on Friday night after a swimming social event in Chesham, Saturday did ringo rings and kids hired paddle boards, Sunday packed up and cycled back.
First outing with the caravan in 2023, long bank holiday weekend due to the coronation, did paddleboarding on the lake. Snuck out for a pre-breakfast run on the Sunday morning which was nice but ate lots of flies. We’d booked “powerboating around the lake on a sofa” for the morning which Amy did twice because […]
Ok, one last ski trip to finish the season! Fantastic 6 days skiing with the family. We’d had enough driving to France (having done it twice already this season) so we flew Easyjet to Geneva, got a hire car and drove up to Morzine. We had a small studio appartment with a comically small mezanine […]
Awesome week skiing at half term with the DeNaps and the Flemings
Boxing day to early January skiing in Morzine! Very little snow, but we skied every day, traveling up to Avoriaz on the bus and most days eating crepes and having drinks at the O’PADCHA bar by the Swiss wall.
