First towing holiday of the year. Only a 600kg trailer tent so hardly noticeable and minimal difference on mpg figures. Hardest part was remembering not to go in lane 3 of M5 and also watch the speed limit.

Stayed at Mill Park near Ilfracombe but wont bother again ! LR Freelander 2 2014 metropolis SD4 auto in Loire Blue.

Nice list Iain.

I'm just starting on my 2018 itinerary & Kenya is pencilled in for November but before then will be as many trips towing the trailer tent as my works holidays will allow. Cant wait until I retire ! LR Freelander 2 2014 metropolis SD4 auto in Loire Blue.

Lovely place to visit. If you get a chance, get the ferry to Sirmione, I think it’s only one stop. We’ve been to Sirmione 3 times now, always stay at the hotel Eden right by the ferry stop and we always fit in a trip to Bardolino.

thanks Steve, we've been to Bardolino before and love it.

think we've visited Sirmione before and I bought a leather bag, which I just couldn't resist

looking forward to seeing it again.

ps just checked the map and I bought the bag in Limone, which was a short ferry trip from Malcesine, but we did take the ferry to Sirmione one day, remember the ice cream shops !!

Limone is very nice too - right up the other end of the lake. We drove round there as the ferry from Sirmione was about 3 hours. For some reason, I always get the wife and her mates to pose outside this shop in Sirmione.

 Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Well as my title states i am now well and truly lost thanks to the good lady,

Option 1 ferry to Rotterdam and go east to Slovakia she suggests
Option 2 ferry to Santander so Spain,Andorra,Pyrenees and coastal drive through France to Calais
Option 3 ferry to Rotterdam and go north to Sweden and possibly Norway

I am still determined to get to Scotland this year, well at least once

caribbean cruise, amazing, rule Brittania !!
