First trip out.

At the end of May we ventured out for 2 weeks.

The main reason for the trip was to catch up with family in Devon and Cornwall.
First stop was Cornwall - St Austell. We arrived on Friday and by Saturday afternoon Rex was in The Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro with kidney stones!
After excellent treatment and managing to pass the stone he was allowed out on Monday.

On Tuesday we moved to Pentewan Sands for a night before going to St Newlyn East.


While we were in St Newlyn East we went to Newquay to see the Operatic Society perform songs from the shows on Killacourt.
We left the Newquay area and headed north to Bude staying at Bude Meadows Camp Site.


From Bude we moved up to Bideford and discovered Northam Burrows - great place to while away a day - situated between Appledore and Westward Ho!
Looking towards Westward Ho!

We visited family in Bideford then headed east.
We next camped at Blandford Forum then visited the Royal Signals Museum.
Rex got very nostalgic about 432's!



A night at the Camping and Caravanning Club Site at Oxford then we headed to Bedfordshire for a Motorhome Facts Meet at Top End Farm, Little Staughton.

What a great weekend that was!

Made lots of new friends and really felt that we'd started our new life as Fulltimers in a Motorhome.







Monday saw us headed back to Glossop.
