We made it to Devon in one bit! Only one minor incident on the M25, when a van tried to push his way onto the motorway, and I had nowhere to go. RRS on my outside, van just carried on coming across. If I can get the video off the dash cam, I'll post it.Richard

Probably not me. We arrived in Coombe Martin at about 2 pm. I did see a good number of Discos on the road today, no stickers though. Richard

Always a bonus to arrive incident free ,we did 1550 miles round trip without issue and today she went through the MOT without any probs
Life is good at the moment probably heard me talking about a D4

Just got back from 2 &1/2 weeks in the Vendee with the tintent. As we got away before the main kids school hols and the main French hols it was much queiter. On the outbound crossing from portsmouth to Cean there were only 8 'vans. Lovely site, nice weather, shame about having to come home. D4 was once again the towcar to have
For once, didnt see many D4's (or D3's for that matter) and not one D5.

We had a week in Pembrokeshire. Lovely weather, fantastic surf beaches and no crowds.
Newgale beach one afternoon whilst walking the dogs.
The CL was very busy 2 caravans most of the week in 3 acres. £10 per night including hookup.
Pembrokeshire is where all the D5s are though, loads of them but no Velars.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

La Bretonniere at St Julien de Landes. We had a priviledge pitch so had water and drainage on the pitch as well. Facilities were nice, (v) small shop, small takeaway, small bar, so no noisy entertainmant going on till all hours, swimming pool and a small fishing lake (if you want fishing). French owners were very nice too.
About 15 mins to the beach (Brem or Bretignolles). 20mins to St Gilles.
