WELCOME TO OUR BLOGSITE. IT'S MAINLY ABOUT OUR TRIPS. IN A TRUCK.

WHILST TRAVELLING OVERSEAS WE USE THE TRAVELOGUES SECTION OF THE SITE TO DOCUMENT OUR LOCATION, RELAY SOME EXPERIENCES AND, SOMETIMES, TO TAKE A WITHERING STAB AT TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF THE WORLD.

BY DEFAULT, POSTS APPEAR IN DATE ORDER WITH THE MOST RECENT FIRST BUT NAVIGATING TO OLDER POSTS / TRIPS IS EASILY ACHIEVED BY FOLLOWING THE RELEVANT LINKS.

AS WELL AS MEMORIALISING TRIPS, THE SITE ALSO OFFERS A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO US, OUR TRUCK AND A FEW USEFUL RESOURCES.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR VISIT!

Ukraine trip - Day 3 - France


My Location: N 49.00407°, E 05.63086°

Unfeasibly hot today, 40° showed on one pharmacy thermometer. 32° inside truck with everything open.

Impressed once again by French civic pride. Every town and village neat and tidy in exactly the way GB isn't.

Overnighting in a clearing in woodland in a 'natural park', the glade is teeming with insects. Incredible numbers of grasshoppers and butterflies as well as all manner of flies / hornets and other winged beasts that I have little clue about.

We used this spot 4 years ago and found shoes nailed to a tree. They are still here. Weird, as the area is really desolate and not the usual kind of place to nail shoes to trees.
