On Monday morning we hitch the van up, tell the sat nav to find to longest and most difficult route it can find (which is normal for any sat nav we use) and head off to Nottingham to see our friends who we met in France, and Norma and Alan who we stayed with for a couple of days on the last trip.
Pics to follow.
