After a lovely few months back in Cornwall, spending time with friends and family and what has been a long, wet and stormy winter, we are glad to be back in our ‘Happy Place’ and back on the road again. We left home on Monday 2nd and are slowly making our way across to Folkstone to catch Le Shuttle on Thursday 12th. In between preparing and settling back into the van and completing various admin tasks we are hoping to bob in and out of the coast and notch up a few more beaches before heading to Europe.

Todays drive took us over Dartmoor as we made our way from Tavistock to Charmouth, pulling over in the hazy sunshine to take a walk across a section of the moor – we were not alone….

Albeit somewhat shrouded in mist the views were still pretty spectacular – in the distance Bullseye Stone…

Heading 5 minutes further onto the moors and we were suddenly completely immersed in the low mists with visibility shrinking to 50m or less….

Needless to say it was a slowish journey to Charmouth and even though the mist had opened up once we left the moors, we decided against popping down into Exmouth and will save that delight for another day.

The journey so far stats:

• Miles driven – 158 (inc 74 today)
• Fuel – £88.33
• Groceries – £84.75
• O/N – £32.26 (2 nights)
