Our third morning on the Area de Servicios Autocaravanas at Canfranc Estacion so the Hymer has had electic hook-up for 3 days, that means the leisure batteries and the engine battery have all been on charge for 3 days. When I came to start the engine to move over to the service area the engine
Yesterday when we came to start the Hymer after 2 nights at Isaba in the mountains of Spain we got a nasty surprise, that slow grinding sound caused by a battery that is almost flat. We looked at each other and wondered what had run our battery down? After a couple of more attempts or
We have visited Spain regularly in September, it suits us very well because the grandchildren have gone back to school and requests for ‘grandparent duties’ stop. Like many we find August too busy and too hot for our northern white skin. This year we couldn’t book a fast crossing with Brittany Ferries except on two
We are making good progress generating the web pages for our trek through Europe and north to Norway.

Diesel prices were high, as you would expect, because of the war. Check out our route and read about the
Our homepage has been updated so that it now shows maps of our motorhome treks, this is a big improvement because it lets you select what you want to see directly from a map. The problems with google Timeline continue, as far as we can see google Timeline is no longer any use to us.
I’m conscious that although this website is titled “Wandering Winetasters’ Website” there are not many mentions of wine and the various wine producers that we visit. As soon as time permits a new section is coming in which we will talk about the places where we bought wine, how much it cost and how it
Sad to say that the performance of Google Timeline has gone from outstanding to abysmal, so, although i leave it running the Timeline is no longer much use for tracking our motorhome journeys.
