Hello everyone, well today has probably been the most challenging day so far. After a good start to the day and getting some good time under our belts, we hit the west coast of wales. This stretch up to the camp site was to be honest terrible. At times we were doing 10mph for 20 mins at a time. We have had roadworks, caravans, slow drivers, idiot drivers.. the list goes on. I think its fair to say we hit the wall today and found our way through to the other side. We had problems locating the camp site as no post code was available (it was sat at home) but after getting to people to speak to each other in a deffinetly forgien langage we finally arrived. The west coast of wales is a great sightand the roads are great to drive but after 12 hours on the road covering over 300 miles even this wares thin. Fishgaurd on the very tip of wales inparticular stood out due to its narrow twisting roads that the van only just fitted down.
Day 5 saw us leave Wales on the A55 and head through England into Scotland which has provided us with our best campsite so far in Ryan Bay Stranraer. The views from teh bay are butiful and we are currently sat with a drink and pizza in the sun. The only draw back with this site is the closeness of the main raod. The driving today kept on main fast routes which helped us make good time arriving on the site early evening
