We are now home again for a while after having some appalling
weather over the last week or so. We decided to take a meandering route home from Chester and went via Market Drayton (right by the Shropshire Union Canal), Clent Hills (near Halesowen), Warwick (in the middle of the racecourse there) and Huntingdon where we stopped on some National Trust land run as a camp site.
Last weekend we went to Peterborough for what was billed as
the best Motorhome Show in the Country......it didn't allow for the weather.
Saturday saw us trudging round the show in wellington boots, the only sensible
option. Many stall holders were saying that they would not be opening on Sunday
at that time. Sunday morning saw us wake to a feeling of deja vue. We were
surrounded by water and it was like being on a boat again only we were not
rocking. With quite a flow of water visibly going under the van we thought it
prudent to leave as soon as we could, having seen a couple of motorhomes being
pulled out by tractor.
We thought we were afloat again when we woke to this
We managed to get out without too much problem and stopped
about 20 miles down the road for some breakfast. A very wet drive to Woodstock
where we stopped the night ensued with flooded roads in several spots. Later in
the day once settled in at Woodstock the sun came out but too late to be
enjoyed.
From Woodstock we continued home (via Southampton) and got
home Monday afternoon having covered just over 1600 miles since leaving and had 45 nights on board.
