That was per vehicle so a real bargain if there was two or more. I should add that to the dear camping thread

That could be fun for the kids. Might have to look at that one

It’s great for kids - very secure and safe enough to let them wander round on their own while you grab a cocktail in the bar

Heading home, it is getting too warm in Spain, glad we are leaving. (sorry about picture quality)
The sea was really calm, best crossing we have had, food good too.

Was the ship named the Mary Celeste ?

Was the ship named the Mary Celeste

We were one of the first on and the deck we were on was not very full. We were very lucky as we were off quickly as well, docked at18:30 we left the port at 18:45.

 

[The Pox]

Just for a brief moment this was the view from the side window. No place safe to park - so stop for a few seconds and snap away. Arguably the most famous tree in the UK. Even Kevin Kostner has been here...

Those wind out awning guys, are they home made or shop bought? If the latter, where from?

I would respectfully disagree. Major Oak is a truly fine tree but the most well known and photographed and filmed? I will stick with my much smaller and younger sycamore.

The awning guys are self made. Some guy rope and a couple of rock pegs and a couple of awning hooks. Easy and cheap!!

The Wilberforce Oak:
===
At length, I well remember after a conversation with Mr. Pitt in the open air at the root of an old tree at Holwood, just above the steep descent into the vale of Keston, I resolved to give notice on a fit occasion in the House of Commons of my intention to bring forward the abolition of the slave-trade.

C 1788



Queen Elizabeth I Oak

In a romantic moment it is rumoured that Queen Elizabeth was conceived under the oak. Wikipedia more modestly claims Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn “danced” around the tree.

Queen Elizabeth's Oak, Greenwich Park - Wikipedia

The remains of both oaks can still be seen, but as nether is living perhaps they cannot now be described as trees.

 

[The Pox]

Ok if this becoming old tree top trumps I will submit the Borrowdale Yews which are way over 2000 years old. Most of the trees mentioned before
are/were just young saplings. BTW this photo was NOT taken from my van. Anyone who gets their van up to here deserves a prize or a straight jacket.

The King of Limbs, a 1000 year old oak in Savernake Forest is pretty impressive.

Radiohead's album of the same name is pretty cool too

Not going anywhere for a few days but trying to keep the van cool anyway.
