Sunset on the Dune de Pyla - wonderful.

You don't have to use the public car park and walk all the way up, if you are a bit wiley, you can drive 2/3 of the way up behind the dune by going past Pyla-sur-(from Arcachon) then up, up, up.

George - one day you will put some miles on that car!
Pete - that had crossed my mind we will see how we go not
Bingo - I suspected as much having looked on street view
Right off to pack some more boxes

Wow, if moving house can be that much fun - I need to think about moving - have a great great trip.

Oradour Sur Glane is a very very good shout.

Highly recommended to anyone who is travelling near by or through.

You could learn a thing or two about driving holidays from Neil I think Mikey

I hope you have a fantastic trip Mikey, must confess I'm envious, you have put together another great itinerary and the Roadster is the perfect weapon.

Are they very moving stories?

I feel for him
We had the land one and some!
He got a lot closer to buying than we have, we are homeless until late October
But we are looking at it like a 6 week holiday
Cars all packed and checked ready for the off tomorrow
