We have a week booked in a lovely farmhouse on the Llŷn Peninsula end of July That's actually a week at home and the gathering of the clan, we put our marquee will up in one of the fields, the pizza oven, bbq and smoker will see plenty of use and there will be a few empty bottles to recycle.
Dont do our proper holiday till the end of September when things are quieter, where is to be decided but it will be in the tintent and probably UK==================================

A WORD OF WARNING
Gents its all good hearing about the anticipated trips i hope its all fun.
i took my van out of storage,ronps old one,thanks mate
i had it out in front of the house all day to sort etc
Within an hour of my departure some low life had broken into my house and stole a substantial amount of jewellery,most of it my recently departed mother in laws. my wife is gutted and in a emotional place that scares me.
So here is the thing if some low life can do this to us on chance,its reckoned they watched us leave.How does it go with many on here giving dates as to how long they will be gone?
i am no internet genius but i'm sure it wont take long for someone to figure out who you are.
it was an interesting night at 3am when the FAO turned up to check the cabinet. Just be careful people the scum got lucky with my spare keys to the goodies.which i turned over to the police for safe keeping.Anyway off to bed to dream new security. i have slept one hour since 6.30am sunday morning.Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

Cornwall in the Tintent in August, then a week in Chamonix, walking in the Alps in September.
Got a few weekends lined up too. Carfest North, walking in Snowdonia. Walking across the Knoydart peninsula next weekend!
Your joining the hundreds of caravans that flock here
We are off to Vegas and LA to avoid silly season here
By September there'll be plenty of space in the Argentiere sites if you're heading Chamonix way - great time to visit the Alps!

Mont Blanc

Was meant to do Mont Blanc but the hut is booked up so just a jaunt around the alps I think.
There are a few routes up Mont Blanc, have done a couple of them as well as lots of other stuff around the midi/Helbronner area - PM me if you want any info.
