The journey home

We decided to stay in Milarrochy Bay for one night so we had an extra day for the journey home. We were somewhat anxious for we needed to pass by London during the weekend and were expecting a lot of traffic. So we decided to make an extra stop in England. The first stop was Halt Whistle, near Hadrian's Wall. We visited the wall before we arrived at the camping site.




At Haltwhistle we could walk directly from the camp site at the shore of the river Tyne. Nearby was the South Tyne trail which is part of the National Cycle Network, we could walk there also.

The next night we stayed at a camping site in Teversal North of Nottingham. The Silverhill Wood Country Park is opposite the site and has eight miles of walks, perfect for a stop over with dogs. We walked a couple of walks and one of them took us on the top of a hill with some astonishing views of the area. We must remember this place for future holidays. The only bad thing was the weather because it started raining. And this is how our vacation pictures could have looked if it had rained during the whole vacation.


And last but not least before entering the Channel train we stopped at the beach of Folkestone to walk the dogs and to eat some dinner.


Then we entered the train and traveled to France again to continue the drive via Belgium to the Netherlands where we live. End of a very nice holiday.
