Discussion
Evening All.
The Whiff and I are going to embark on an 8 day tour of the UK tomorrow, starting from Wiltshire and going to:
I'll try to keep a short log here (mobile internet permitting) of the roads that we find and what we think of them. Keep an eye out for a small, silver Toyota MR2 Roadster full to the brim with camping equipment and with a PH sticker on the back and give us a wave if you spot us!
Right, I'll be off now...7 am start tomorrow!

Hmm...interesting afternoon.
Fun bit: the tent is larger than the car.

The views have been spectacular.

The Whiff has lost her phone...we're hoping it's under the tent it the car!
And we have our first casualty.

Broken power steering pump...it won't do any damage and we'll look like popeye!
WiFi over and out for the night.
PS: low flying fighter planes and chinooks are cool

Anyhews, we have now reached our final stop of a very relaxing spa in Stratford!
My phone has completely died and the in-car charger was complete tosh, only giving ~10% per hour of charge.
I'll post a detailed summary before the weekend's out, but in the meantime:

- The A7 to and from Edinburgh is excellent!

Go and drive the A7!!!
