We had a lovely night sleep in our semi secret little parking lot in Levi. Turns out those other RVs were uninhabited so we decided some local people just park them there. I had a lovely walk along the Chemin De Fleuve up to a beautiful park called Parc de la Pointe Benson (and now…
I told a friend the other day that it has been a year since we went of a van trip. I was mistaken. The accurate statement is that it has been a year since we went on a van trip in our van. You may remember our epic van trip in Scotland in April 2026….
And now for something completely different. The Mission: The goal of our trip was to do some sea kayaking in Newfoundland. Have an adventure. The secondary goal, which was highly desired, was to see some whales while we paddled. Did we achieve our goals? Read on. I was invited to join this trip as the…
Well, hello there! It’s been some time since we last spoke. Way back in England/Scotland, if I remember correctly. What’s new, you ask. Well, stuff. Recently Mrs Milddogs and I sold our cottage.

Location: London Lovely long sleep in our hotel bed last night. We enjoyed the complimentary croissant and coffee for breakfast and then hit the road walking. Our goal today was a self guided walking tour of things in the area. Mission one was to go see the new Globe Theatre and the site of the…
Location: London Pretty good sleep last night. We got some rain but nothing major. There are nights where I am quite content to lay awake and just listen to the rain. I am not convinced last night was one of those. We overachieved on wake-up time which was a tad unfortunate as it gave us…
Location: Peebles Today we woke up with a view of Loch Ness. It was a bit weathery and we had a long drive ahead. I did manage to get a shower at the campground. Solid 7/10. Clean and warm water but the shower floor was rather slippery. Observation: There were only 10 campsites occupied in…
Location: Drumnadrochit Woke up, got out of bed, made my breakfast with moldy bread. Sad face. Good thing there was a backup plan and a bakery in town. A few photos of where we parked. Instagram style versus reality. To be clear, it was a great park-up, just looks funny. The green box is…
