    Isn’t Lake Garda getting a reputation for being absolutely rammed in the high season? Don't think I'd fancy it much in the moho, although I'd like to go.

    Well, my France Passion '23 book, map and sticker just turned up, so we're just about set up now.

    What are you snobby about?

    It was. Looking forward to the new series.

    What are you snobby about?

    Henderson's was more widely available in Lincs when I lived there. Very similar apparently, but from Sheffield I think (or somewhere around there).

    What are you snobby about?

    That's the snob bit. Prince's was always called 'spread'. The cheap shite was 'paste'.

    Skeg. Chapel. Wherever.

    Quite near another reasonably pleasant market town, Burgh le Marsh, but then you're getting dangerously close to the sheer hellhole of Skegness.

    Good advice - I tend to travel there at 55 to 60mph max in the moho, which is plenty fast enough there.

    Ah, sorry. Thought you meant you were there now. Duh. Whereabouts? One of the villages?

    Yes, tempted to try to find something near Confolens. Love it. Armistice day was fun. We were travelling up from Ambrière-les-Vallées (another place well worth a visit, with a riverside aire) and every town and village seemed to have a parade on, with police, army, marching bands, priests... Got...

    Near near? Is the Hundleby Inn (in Hundleby, just across the bypass) still going? Used to do a few decent real ciders and good grub (unusually for the area).

    Slightly tongue in cheek. However, I have lived there, and really don't see the attraction apart from Lincoln itself, and a few market towns (Louth in particular, Horncastle, maybe Spilsby and Market Rasen). The Wolds are quite pretty, but much of the rest is naff. However, if you're a...

    Ooh no. Don't do it!

    You won't find much in ours. We had to pay the extortionate amount for the moho somehow.

    Two and a half hours north of Bordeaux and three hours from Spain? Lordy me, it took us about a week from Irun to Bordeaux. Ok, we stopped a fair few times, but I'm sure I couldn’t have done it in half an hour! Highlights in France last year were - on the way down - Confolens (dragon's cousin...

    Been there, done that - over forty years ago. It's shit, but should get better.

    Retired, and sold my late parents' house, paid off the mortgage and bought the moho with some of the proceeds. Reasonable pension, but that has to cover both of us as the dragon doesn't have one (or any kind of income!). I know, I'm very lucky, but we had very few holidays for forty years so...

    We did a mix last Autumn. French Camping-Car Parks (low cost moho sites with water/grey and black dumps. Some with free showers/washing up/washing facilities etc) and some similar in Spain, plus free Aires and car parks in both countries. Also used France Passion park-ups (free, but out of...

    I've booked a ferry to the Hook, but no plans from there on. Will just drift from park-up to park-up and see where we end up. Will likely get to northern Italy via Germany, Czech and Austria then back via eastern France as we usually end up doing the west coast, so it ahould be a nice change...
