Tuesday, 27th – Saturday, 31st May, 2025

Leaving Saint-Pair-sur-Mer After we left Saint-Pair-sur-Mer we headed down the coast to Mont Saint-Michel, the iconic Abbey on an island. We have cycled here before. It was unbelievably busy. If it is this busy in May, however busy is it going to be in the summer! We wanted to find…

Sunday 25th & Monday 26th May, 2025. Cherbourg-Octville to Granville, France.

Today has been a relaxed, gentle day, after a dreadful night. Dreadful because the wind blew intermittently with fury, causing the Caranex to rattle against the internal support poles. Jen however slept through it, oblivious. By 11.30am we were ready to hit the road. An expensive camp site that while…

Friday, 23rd May. 2025. Our Fourth Day in France

Preparation After we picked Poki up from Southampton we had a week to prepare her for a trip to France. Having been back in the UK for over a month, we already had itchy feet and wanted to be back on the road again. It was all a bit of…

Tuesday 12th May, 2025. Poki’s back…:)

For the last few weeks we have taken to walking along many of the local network of foot paths that criss cross the country, in an effort to kill time and regain some fitness. Some pic’s of historic features during a wander beside the meandering river Adur, taking in the…

Monday, 5th May. In Wineham, West Sussex, UK and Poki’s Shipping Progress

Poki’s Progress Poki was due to arrive back in the U.K. at London Gateway Port last Thursday, 1st May. Everything had been going very smoothly. We had been tracking the ship, the Maersk San Lorenzo and it looked as if she would be on time. However, on Tuesday I received…

Day 217. Thursday 3nd April. Oxford Hotel. Montevideo. Uruguay. End of the Journey.

D-Day 2. It’s going to be a long day! Ending back in the UK tomorrow, on the 4th., if everything goes to plan. Exiting the hotel at 11am we wandered around the city, before enjoying a pizza for lunch in a glass lined kiosk, beside a fountain centered park. The…

Day 216. Wednesday, 3rd April, 2025. Sightseeing in Montevideo.

Breakfast was hearty, but not healthy. Too much bread and cakes. Our food consumption during the day wasn’t any better. We didn’t want a big lunch, so a rather greasy empanada with chicken, ham and mushrooms sufficed. This was soon followed by very large ice cream cones. Dinner didn’t improve…

Day 215. Tuesday April 1st, 2025. La Chacra Holandesa. Atlantida, to Montevideo and the port. Uruguay.

D-Day 1. Thankfully it dawned calm and sunny, though cooler. This allowed us to finish drying off some items before packing, particularly the Caranex. Once that was done, the solar panel mounted wind deflector could be disconnected from the charging system, and along with the three roof mounted storage boxes,…

Days 213 and 214. Sunday, 30th and Monday,31st March, 2025. At La Chacra Holandesa.

Sunday was really warm. Up to 31 degrees again and humid. I sorted out my wardrobe box. Most things will remain in Poki, as I have more winter clothes than summer clothes. Mostly to ensure we survived in Ushuaia and Antarctica. My summer wardrobe consists of three pairs of shorts…
