5 August Keswick
Back at what we call home Keswick after a truly wonderful trip into Northern Europe we have enjoyed stunning scenery wonderful campsites lovely people great weather a totally enjoyable trip north for a change. We failed to reach our objective Russia only due to the fact we did not plan the trip as we don’t often know where we are going and when we are getting there and lack of knowledge of “things” we are now equipped to make the trip again via Germany, Poland and up to Estonia at a later time. We also enjoyed chatting to locals in non tourist areas and have learnt so much about the countries a fab 8 weeks we thoroughly recommend trying it.

The places we visited and the route below.
30 July 2016 Riverside Stratford on Avon
Left Poole heading for Oxford unfortunately on arrival booking in and hooking up we found a small problem, the bus service into Oxford had changed and it appeared to my tired mind a huge problem with timings and bus routes so I asked the lovely Maureen if we could leave. Arrived Riverside Stratford on Avon for 4 nights our third visit this year, it seems to be well placed in England to reduce our travelling times when leaving or entering England from home. Caught up with all our laundry and been into town for a walkabout in the market.
