Ourtreks updates: Despite being retired there are always many pressing demands on my time that seem to prevent me from updating this site. How we managed to work and get things done is a mystery to me.

As some weeks have gone by I can add more to this posting. Adding web pages to this website takes more time than I expected. For each day of a motorhome trip I think it’s useful to give information about how far we travelled, what kind of place we stayed overnight and other information that seems relevant.

Both Gill and I write journals to document our travels, we record different types of detail, about the weather, the type of country that we pass through, our impressions of the day and what we ate and drank. When we look back through our journal entries it’s surprising how much we have forgotten or remembered differently. Same with the photos, normally we take a lot of photos, almost all of our photos are now taken on mobile phones, in my case that’s an iPhone, whereas Gill likes her Samsung phone. Both phones do a really good job taking photos; the phone is something that we have become accustomed to carrying, rather than a large digital camera.

Getting back to the subject, updating this site takes a lot of time, but it’s a pleasure to read through all our journals and it helps us think about future treks by motorhome.
