Our first proper trip au Dormobile Blue!

Post by AlexB » Tue Sep 23, 2014 9:26 am

Arrived back from a 2000 mile jaunt in the Blue Dormobile, yesterday. Holmfirth, Santander, Pyrenees, L'Auvergne, Le Bal de Series, Guedelon Castle, La Loire, Le Vendee, Britanny, then back to Holmfirth via Leicestershire to pick up some wheels. Apart from enlisting Toby Farlow's help at the Bal de Series to tighten up a steering joint (thanks again) and replenishing the odd pint of oil here and there, all went well. Photos in due course (500+ to choose from!)
