WELCOME TO OUR MOTORHOMING BLOGG
This is an attempt to get our motorhoming hobby on the net for others to look at .
We are Paul and Nikki with our Kids George and Harley. (12&10) and a big newfoundland dog called Tara (taz)
We have been motorhoming since 2004 and preveiously had a caravan. we are now on our second van having owned a CI Carrioca 5 (656) for 3 years.
Our Current van is a Adria Coral 670 sk. Absoloute luxury as far as we are concerned.
we have visited to name but a few Holland ,Belgium ,Germany ,Luxembourg ,Switzerland and Andorra. There have of course been numerous trips around England and Wales. Our favourite trips inthe UK tend to be up to Escosse, around the locks and the west coast. Most of our summers hav been spent touring in the motorhome capital of the world, France.
Our hobbies are having fun, skiing,surfing,canoeing,walking,cycling and anything else you care to mention that's fun and preferably dangerous.
Inside my bloggs you will find information on modifications we have made including, SOG system, Swivel seat, New onminster rooflights, alloy wheels, engine remap, Private plate, air suspesnion, painted bumper, and new 7 in 1 tv

Wet and Windy in Watchet
Well we have just had a trip down to Somerset. We stayed on a site in Watchet which was right next to the west somerset railway. We were lucky enough to let my parents have the kids for a day whilst we went touring on an open top bus.
Unfortunately we came home early due to the really poor weather. It all started off so well. I practiced my right foot control and managed to exten my MPG to a massive 28 mpg just by driving under 60mph. Seems an odd thing to do but with the cost of fuel shooting up to well over 1.20 a litre I thought Iwould experiment.
Ive posted a little video for you all to enjoy and if anyone wants details of this fabulous little site let me know. Only £10 per night with Hook up overlooking the beach and with the railway right behind. A walk in to town is 5 mins tops along the cliff tops.
Next trip for us is the Stratford american show followed by a trip to the Alvaston steam rally. Not long after that we will be heading on our normal trip down in to deepest France. We dont know where at this min but surely we will get some good weather and most of all good fun as we are taking another couple with us.
Keep logging in and bye for now.

SPAIN AND A DAY IN MORROCO
A good time was had by all and we also enjoyed a day trip to Morroco. Nothing much happened on the trip other than we all got pissed, well very pissed and I bumped in to an old school friend that was now living in Spain with her husband. Wow hows that for a coincidence?
I took no pics im afraid, all I can remember is that we flew from Gatwick I drove a big 10 seater Merc to the appartments and then we flew home on the Sunday, I spent the next 5 days recovering. Im getting to old for this now. Next years end of season patry is being held in Romania I believe. better start gettting in the practice now.
