Today is day three of their road trip and they travel from Amboise in the Loire Valley to Millau in Aveyron. ‪@HobbyCaravan‬
Last night they stayed at Camping Municipal de I’ile d’Or in Amboise in the Loire Valley.
This morning, Slaw pops the drone up for some magnificent views of the chateau and the island.
The Slaw’s chat about the new Angles Morts stickers and sing out of tune as they drive along in their Hobby motorhome Helga.
Tonight’s campsite is Les Erables on the banks of the Tarn in Millau.
Time for a rest day and they decide to stay here for two nights.

Amboise is worth a visit. You can take the dogs into the grounds. It is the resting place of Leonardo da Vinci. Feet off the dash please Mrs Slaw, it's very dangerous in an accident. Xx

We like the A71/A75 as well as it is an easy and a beautiful run........oh, and free. We think that the reason for the non-charging of tolls is because there is not an alternative good road, ie: an RN, that follows that route. Again, please correct us if this is not the case. A quick one, on the toll route make sure that you are being charged as a Class 2 and not as a Class 3(which covers 6 wheels M\H's)

Your excellent vLogs remind us of our recent trip August and September. We were in Les Mures next to your chosen campsite Port Grimaud at the time of the forest fires and also enjoyed the bicycle rides on the excellent paths. We used tolls occasionally but did prefer local roads if we had time. At the tolls the missus pulled the wing mirror in so I could get close to the machine but she is only 5ft nothing so still got a cheeky pat on the bum although time was limited because she used a credit card and believed it was quicker than cash. I used Angles Morts signs in France because we are over 3.5 ton and driving through villages if a cyclists hit me or police stopped me I was covered. I used magnetic ones and were removed if transiting Spain, UK etc. You only need the 3.

You’ll struggle to refill uk bottles in France. French fittings are different on their bottles so no good unless you change the regulator. Argos used to sell a plastic refillable bottle with all the lpg fittings which is what we’re going to get when we’re back in the uk.

Hi Neil, in the last 12 months we’ve spent two weeks in Scotland doing the NC500, a week in North Yorkshire (Threshfield, Hawes, Leyburn and Cayton Bay), two weeks touring Haverigg, Southport, Chirk and Talybont in Wales, Devon, Cornwall , the Cotswolds and Buckinghamshire. We’ve had long weekends in Pickering, Castleton, Barmouth, British F1 Grand Prix in Northamptonshire, Leyburn in North Yorks, Twinwood in Bedfordshire, Holmfirth and Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire. And that was either side of the six month lockdown Oct to April. So, I think we are justified in spending two weeks out of the UK 👍🏻
