The road to Scotland

Folkestone is in the South East of England. To arrive in Scotland it takes a drive of about 800 kilometers. We chose to travel in two days and on the first day we stopped in Boroughbridge a small town above York.
It was still raining from time to time, but that is to be expected when you go to the UK ofcourse.


The next morning we continued our trip towards Scotland. Once we arrived in Scotland we looked for a nice place to stop to have lunch and exercise the dogs.

Brego looked outside and spotted the sheep. Afterward he looked at me somewhat surprised at least I thought so.


Toby has a I've been there and done that look on his face. We herded sheep together when he was 2 years younger.

We continued the trip and later on we stopped again for a short walk to exercise the dogs again. And yessss, the sun appeared on the sky.

We discovered a small river there and Toby couldn't hesitate the water and went in.



And later on the first sheep beside the road, here a picture made from within the campervan.

Holiday Scotland

Tuesday 29 April we went for a 2 1/2 weeks holiday to Scotland. The dogs would travel together with us so we decided to take the Channel Tunnel Train again. We can ride the motorhome on the train in Calais France and than stay in the motorhome for the 25 minutes that it takes to arrive on the UK (Folkestone) side of the Channel.
To bad it is not allowed to take pictures on board of the train.
We spent the night in Folkestone on a parking nearby and it was raining cats and dogs.

Two Bear(die)s playing

In the park, Brego and one of his Beardie friends Floyd played together. He is a brown beardie boy of 2 years old. At one moment they looked like two bears playing. Excuses for the poor image quality, but the movie is made with a phone.

Hageven Plateaux

On the border of our village with Belgium there's a nature reserve called the "Hageven Plateaux". Because the dogs are not allowed to walk there without leash we didn't walk there before but we decided that we at least have to walk there once.





We did the walk and I can tell you that we will revisit again because we did enjoy the scenery.

Blankenheim Germany

On Saturday we took the camper a little bit further to the South (1 hour drive) to a place called Blankenheim. The camper site was located next to a forest, actually a very lovely place.
Before we arrived in Blankenheim we stopped to enjoy a nice walk.
First the boys needed to run with each other in an open field.



In the forest a lot of snow was still present. We and for sure the boys enjoyed this very much.



Here we are walking on a little stream of melted snow.

Me and the boys on a little wooden bridge that we found in the woods to get back to the camper.

Here a picture of the camper in Blankenheim.

Monschau Germany

To test the camper again and to experience how it behaves in the mountains we drove to Germany to a place called Monschau. It is only a 1,5 hours drive from where we live.
We were a little bit surprised about the amount of snow that was laying there. Here a picture of me and the boys at the side of the camping area.

Here a picture of the camper (this time we didn't forget to take pictures of it).

And here some nice picture of us in Monschau.


Here on the walk back to the camping area.

Brego sleeps in chair

Brego was sleeping in one of the chairs. He opened his eyes when I got the camera.

But he immediately closed them again to continue his beauty sleep.
